Elemental’s co-writers wanted it to be open, honest, and not another Zootopia

Apparently, Ryan Murphy’s ready to put Netflix behind him, and head over to Disney.

Looking at Ryan Murphy’s track record at Netflix, the streaming giant probably has some regrets about signing him to a nine-figure production deal in 2018 that led to hits like Dahmer, and quite a few more projects that never really popped off.

A five-minute teaser for Marvel’s Secret Invasion series awaits, if you jump through one hoop.

With the next MCU series set for a Disney Plus debut on June 21st, the marketing for Secret Invasion is winding up, but with a spy twist this time. Instead of just dropping yet another trailer, it’s stored on this dedicated site that requests a password (RSD3PX5N7S), which is conveniently listed in the tweet.

Figuring out which characters are Skrulls in hiding will hopefully be a little harder than that.

Disney isn’t done pulling content just yet.

After yanking dozens of shows and movies from Hulu and Disney Plus on May 26th, a new filing with the SEC indicates that Disney plans on taking down even more content “during the remainder of its third fiscal quarter.”

Disney has already racked up a $1.5 billion impairment charge following last week’s takedowns, but now it estimates an additional $400 million charge as a result of its upcoming content removals.
