Currently available under the deal from Disney's exceptional 2016 lineup are Zootopia, The Jungle Book, Captain America: Civil War, Finding Dory, The BFG, Pete's Dragon, Queen of Katwe, Doctor Strange, and Moana. The deal only requires Disney to make available films that were released from 2016 and on, therefore the rest of the films in these franchises will most likely take a much longer time to get onto Netflix, especially when it comes to Star Wars since 20th Century Fox still owns distribution rights until 2020. While Netflix subscribers would be thrilled for this to be the start of the entire Star Wars franchise making its way onto Netflix, fans shouldn't hold their breath for that anytime soon. Related: Rogue One Success Gave Lucasfilm ‘More Confidence’ in Spinoff Films The availability of Rogue One as the lone Star Wars film for streaming is a result of the deal made between parent company Disney and Netflix last year, which made Netflix the sole streaming provider of all Marvel, Disney, Pixar and Star Wars films. Star Wars fans with Netflix subscriptions will soon be able to experience the thrills and chills of Rogue One all over again when the film gets added to its streaming catalog on July 18th. It was a gamble that paid off big time for Disney and Lucasfilm, giving them the confidence to go ahead with several spinoffs and sequels for the foreseeable future. Director Gareth Edwards' inaugural entry and the first Star Wars spin-off was just as much of a smash hit as the major films in the franchise, earning over a billion dollars worldwide and over 500 million in the United States. Last December's Rogue One: A Star Wars Storywill become the only live-action Star Wars film on Netflix when it becomes available for streaming this July.
