Last year, two of Disney’s biggest releases were Aladdin and The Lion King. With each earning more than a billion in worldwide grosses, the studio will continue to produce live-action remakes of their beloved animated classics until the well runs dry.

The act of leaving your home and driving to a video store to rent a movie is a thing of the past. And it especially feels ancient at the moment with the whole country being told to stay home as much as possible to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
A fan recently took to Twitter to ask Ryan Reynolds if he should rent Green Lantern on Apple TV because it was on sale for $0.99.

Another pic has now arrived on Netflix though and while it doesn't fall under the Marvel Studios banner, it still has a number of Marvel connections to at least keep fans entertained until later this year.
