After months of Disney CEO Bob Iger doling out tidbits of information, investors will finally get their first look at Disney's streaming service on Thursday.
Iger has dropped hints that the service will feature original content from"Star Wars," Pixar and Marvel, as well as a catalog of Disney's classic animated features and live-action flicks. Rumors have also circulated about a Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson series and one centered on Clint Barton . It has also hinted that it is interested in bundling Disney+ with ESPN+ and Hulu, which it owns a 60% stake in. However, it's unclear if Disney+ will coexist with these other services, particularly considering 40% of Hulu is owned by Comcast and AT&T .
