Initially rolled out with the release of the live action version of Mulan, we have since seen the same treatment of a number of titles across both live action like Emma Stone's portrayal in Cruella - Disney's monochromatic villain, and the long-anticipated arrival of Marvel's Black Widow, which finally reveals the backstory of Natasha Romanoff, portrayed by Scarlett Johansson.

Showing little sign of slowing down where Disney Plus Premier Access titles are concerned, Jungle Cruise, starring The Rock (aka Dawyne Johnson) and Emily Blunt, will be arriving as a PVOD this summer, too.

One way to catch all the Disney big-hitters without leaving the sofa, it'll be interesting to see Disney Plus' future plans for movie releases as the world begins to open up once again and movies can once again be more freely shown in movie theaters.

What is Disney Plus Premier access?

Disney Plus Premier Access goes some way towards recreating the cinema experience. Brand new titles fresh from Walt Disney Studios are made available on Disney Plus day-and-date with their theatrical release, meaning you can enjoy them from the comfort of your home for an additional one-off fee. Not only can you share the excitement of the latest big-budget film with family or friends, but Premier titles are available to watch in stunning UHD or HDR quality and with Dolby Audio sound.

The $30 fee might seem steep – although it’s probably cheaper than two cinema tickets and a bucket of popcorn, depending on where you live. Once you’ve parted with your dough, though, you can watch the film time and time again. That in addition to enjoying the latest Disney extravaganza months before its available to regular Disney Plus subscribers.

How do I get Premier Access on Disney Plus?

It’s pretty easy to watch a Disney Plus Premier Access title, but you do need to be a Disney Plus member first. So, if you don’t have a subscription, head to the website to sign up. Enter your email address, select a monthly or annual plan, then enter your credit card details.

Now you’ll be able to buy new Disney Plus Premier Access releases. These are found either on the homepage, or by entering the film name into the search tool. Click on the desired title and you’ll receive a prompt to purchase, before being asked to verify your credit card details. Voila! Once that’s done, you’re ready to stream the latest and greatest from Disney. And, as long as you remain a subscriber, the movie is yours to watch as often as you like.

Note that a Premier Plus title can also be purchased through multiple devices with the Disney Plus app, including Apple, Google, Amazon, and Roku.
