		</div><p>Disney has scrapped planned press events in London for the launch of its streaming service amid fears over the coronavirus outbreak.</p>
<p>The European launch for Disney+ included a press conference and panels with key executives and talent on Thursday and Friday.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Disney said in a statement: “Due to a number of media attendee cancellations and increasing concerns at the prospect of travelling internationally at this time, we have decided to cancel our Disney+ launch events scheduled to take place on Thursday and Friday.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_150963" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-150963" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/5905DD90-AFED-40C8-A9DB-7CFE0F7860C8.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="275" class="size-full wp-image-150963" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-150963" class="wp-caption-text">Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian</figcaption></figure>
<p>They added that the decision “has been made out of an abundance of caution and everyone’s best interests in mind”.</p>
<p>Plans for a Disney+ executive press briefing by a webcast have since been confirmed, and will take place next week.</p>
<p>Disney said journalists based in the UK will be able to access the Disney+ Lounge, which will be open for product demonstrations on Friday.</p>
<p>Disney+ is a new platform that will be home to original content, films and other series from studios including Disney, Pixar and Marvel as well as the Star Wars universe.</p>
<p>It is due to launch in the UK and other European territories including Germany, Italy and Spain on March 24.</p>

<p>The service, which launched in the US last year, is seen as the latest challenger to the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+.</p>
<p>The cancellation of the press events came as Sky and Disney announced a new multi-year deal that will make Disney+ available in the UK and Ireland on Sky Q and on Now TV later in the year.</p>
<p>Sky chief executive Jeremy Darroch said: “We’ve built a strong partnership with Disney over three decades and we’re pleased that our customers in the UK and Ireland can continue to enjoy their world-class content – all in one place on Sky Q.</p>
<p>“This is a great start to what is set to be another stellar year for Sky – in 2020 we’ll launch new channels and genres, start building Sky Studios Elstree and we’ve got brilliant new and returning originals coming too.”</p>
