Disney & Netflix Will Become Friends in License

 Disney & Netflix Will Become Friends in License

Disney is in negotiations with Netflix to license some of its material, as part of a strategic attempt to increase its digital reach. In a recent earnings call, CEO Bob Iger acknowledged the ongoing talks. Disney has a history of licensing films to Netflix, but its main brands—Disney Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars—will not be included in this new deal. Iger highlighted the value of these brands as differentiators and essential components of Disney's own streaming service, Disney+. With this choice, Disney's strategy for streaming platforms has changed. 

Disney+ is still devoted to safeguarding its flagship brands even as it grows and provides users with access to a vast library that includes films from 20th Century Studios and National Geographic. Notably, the new license agreement will not include popular Netflix Marvel TV series like Jessica Jones and Daredevil. Disney+'s commitment to preserving ownership of its intellectual rights is shown by the development of a new Daredevil series. Iger's position is in line with Disney's strategic vision, which calls for protecting their core competencies even as they investigate joint ventures. 

The decision is in line with Disney's goal of producing distinctive and superior content for its streaming services, guaranteeing that users will have access to premium and unique entertainment offerings. Disney's strategy emphasizes the value of content management and brand protection in the cutthroat digital market as the streaming environment changes.
