Here’s a breakdown of how and when to watch Disney+ Day streams in Canada

Disney has revealed more details about its itinerary for Disney+ Day, its inaugural celebration of Disney+.

Taking place on November 12th, Disney+ Day will offer a variety of new content releases and special teases at upcoming Disney+ titles. Now, Disney has confirmed that the event will formally kick off on Friday at 6am PT/9am ET.

Throughout the day, the company is promising “first looks, new trailers, exclusive clips, and appearances from Disney+ creators and stars” for upcoming content from its assortment of brands: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and Star. The majority of these will be uploaded directly to the service’s official Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram channels, so you may want to follow those.

However, Disney will also offer “exclusive on-platform specials” that will only be streamed on Disney+ to subscribers. These include special presentations for upcoming Disney+ content from Pixar and Marvel Studios at 11am ET and 11:45am ET, respectively. It’s unclear what, exactly, to expect from these, but it’s possible we’ll get first looks at upcoming Marvel shows like Ms. Marvel (starring Markham, Ontario’s own Iman Vellani), She-Hulk (starring Regina’s own Tatiana Maslany) and/or Moon Knight (starring Oscar Isaac).

The company also teases “other surprise [Disney+ exclusive] sneak peeks,” although it’s unclear whether this will include Star Wars and/or other brands. For example, Lucasfilm is rumoured to offer glimpses at its Ewan McGregor-led Obi-Wan series (co-starring Vancouver’s own Hayden Christensen) and the Diego Luna-fronted Rogue One prequel Andor, among other Star Wars titles.

In any case, a full list of new movies and shows that are hitting Disney+ on November 12th can be found here. As well, Disney is offering one month of Disney+ for $1.99 CAD (regularly $11.99) this week for Disney+ Day. New and returning subscribers can claim the offer.

It’s worth noting that Disney is also holding a bunch of physical celebratory events, including special partnerships with AMC and Target, although those are, naturally, only in the U.S.

Stay tuned to MobileSyrup for full Disney+ Day coverage.

Canada’s Eugene Levy to host travel series on Apple TV+

Canada’s own Eugene Levy is about to host his own show on Apple TV+.

The new unscripted series is a travel show called The Reluctant Traveler. The series will show Levy going around and checking out the world’s best hotels while exploring the people and places around them. It’s pretty funny considering Levy’s Schitt’s Creek character owned a motel.

“Self-confessedly not your average travel show host — he’s not usually adventurous or well-versed in globe-trotting — he’s agreed the time is right for him to broaden his horizons. Levy will be packing his suitcase with some trepidation but hoping his experiences might lead to a whole new chapter in his life — that’s as long as he doesn’t have to battle his motion sickness, and still gets dinner at 7,” Apple described the series.

Levy will be the executive producer alongside David Brindley. The series is being produced by ITV’s subsidiary, Twofour.

Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye still using the Google Pixel 3 in new Disney+ series

Superman isn’t the only superhero who loves the Google Pixel.

At the 30-second mark in the latest ‘Event’ trailer for Marvel’s upcoming Hawkeye Disney+ series, there’s a moment when Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton takes a phone call outside of a store. The purpose of this scene is for a fun “I’ll be home for Christmas” line from Clin, but Eagle-eyed viewers may also notice that he’s actually using the Google Pixel 3.

It’s a particularly notable phone for him to have since it’s the same model he used in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. The phone can be seen in the pivotal scene where Hulk uses Tony Stark’s makeshift Infinity Gauntlet to bring back half of all life in the universe. Clint receives a call on his Pixel 3 from his previously deceased wife, thus showing that Hulk’s efforts worked.

But what’s especially interesting is that Clint’s phone would undoubtedly have been destroyed immediately after this call, given Thanos’ airstrike on the Avengers compound. Therefore, Clint was clearly enough of a fan of the Pixel 3 to not only get a new one, but still be using it by the time of the Hawkeye series.

It’s unclear exactly how long Hawkeye takes place after Endgame, but presumably, there are at least a few months between both MCU titles, suggesting he’s been using the Pixel 3 for a little while. (I like to imagine that Clint went to replace it immediately after Tony Stark’s funeral in Endgame).

Interestingly, fellow Avenger Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) was seen using a Windows Phone in her eponymous solo film earlier this year. However, that film took place in 2016, which made it more understandable that she might be using one of the now-discontinued devices.

Hawkeye is Marvel’s fourth live-action series for Disney+, following WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki. Set to premiere with two episodes on November 24th, Hawkeye follows Clint Barton as he teams up with the young archer Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) to fight enemies from his past and get back to his family in time for Christmas.

It’s also worth noting that ahead of the Hawkeye premiere, Disney will hold its inaugural ‘Disney+ Day’ event on November 12th. This presentation will stream on Disney+ and offer news on future streaming titles from a variety of brands, including Marvel.
