Disney would need to buy out NBC/Comcast's 30% share and WB's 10% share.

That's probably a long shot.

So Disney is gearing up to compete with Netflix and Amazon in the streaming content space?

yes

Just wait until they pull all of the Disney shit from Netflix.

That started happening months ago.

No

Disney will be offering a service in 2019 that will cost less than Netflix or Amazon, which will give subscribers access to all of the Disney Catalog: TV series, Feature Films (Disney, Lucasfilm, Pixar and Marvel included).

They're creating some content, one of which will be a Live Action Star Wars series but they're not going to create content, at this point anyway, in huge quantities like Netflix or Amazon, nor are they going to license content from other networks.

Strictly Disney properties.

All Disney affiliated content will be removed from Netflix sometime in 2019.

Except for the content being created in partnership with Netflix, like the Marvel series.

I was thinking more along the lines of just using Hulu as the platform, and charging a separate fee for Disney content like Hulu already does with HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax.

Right. Those are produced by Netflix.

That defeats the purpose of a stand-alone app and would require people to subscribe to Hulu in order to watch Disney content for an additional price.

Wonder what this will mean for the Alien franchise.

Didn't James Cameron kill that franchise?
