Until then, Disney+ will have to continue to prove its value to subscribers by offering new and old Disney content to keep audiences hooked in the long term. But, if you ask Disney CEO Bob Chapek, the content library of Disney+ is already worth more than what customers are paying for it.
Variety reports that Chapek sees the content offered by Disney+ as far superior when you consider its current and incoming price point. Chapek is even confident enough to say that making Disney+ more expensive won’t have any impact on its success. Specifically, Chapek described Disney+ as “underpriced”, which isn’t exactly wrong. If nothing else, Chapek wasn’t wrong when he said that Disney has “an embarrassment of riches in terms of the plethora of content we have coming from our creative engines.” The most recent D23 showcase proved just how bright the future is for Disney+ and Disney as a whole. The entire Marvel Cinematic Universe lineup alone is the envy of its competition. When you throw in the likes of Inside Out 2 and The Mandalorian Season 3, among others, then you’ve got a complete package that should dethrone Netflix sooner rather than later unless the streaming giant makes drastic changes.
