Disney + Star: all available content
The content of this new thematic area is intended to cover the biggest weakness of the Disney + platform, now evident after almost a year of life: more adult content, not suitable for the “family” segment. The introduction of these contents is in fact accompanied by the introduction of the Parental control function, which will allow you to separate and control the use of contents for parents from those of the rest of the family. It is not yet clear, but there are unofficial rumors to that effect, whether the introduction of this feature will also allow content currently "indexed" in other areas to be brought to the platform, such as Deadpool, Logan and Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel section.
