With the launch of Disney+ Hotstar/Disney+ across Asia, several first-run films from Disney-owned properties were removed in favour of re-runs, including Marvel films that were produced by other studios. Indonesian feed was the first to be affected from September 1, 2020, before Singapore and Malaysia from February 1, 2021. The change was affected in most of available feeds across Asia, before the channel shutdown that was announced.[1]
