Great news! Marvel movies are coming back to VidAngel. Why?
Disney has chosen not to contest the fact movies owned by its subsidiaries are not subject to the California court’s injunction and so there will be additional titles available for filtering on VidAngel. Marvel is a subsidiary of Disney. There are several other subsidiaries of the plaintiffs you’ll recognize. For example:
NEW WORLD PICTURES, LTD.
CASTLE ROCK ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
TURNER ENTERTAINMENT CO.
VILLAGE ROADSHOW PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT INC.
REGENCY ENTERTAINMENT (USA), INC.
We’re glad to be filtering titles from these great companies again. We also look forward to when we’re able to filter Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. titles again!
What about the Defenders? Will this be coming to VidAngel?
The Defenders is currently available on VidAngel through Netflix.
This is awesome! I’m surprised Disney is allowing this? I read in the news yesterday VidAngel is suing the subsidiaries and seeking jury trial in Utah.
Keep it up VidAngel. We love watching filtered shows!
im curious what Disney is up to here? It just seems fishy.
Will it matter since disney is leaving netflix and starting there own sreaming service will this impact marvel movies?
That means that they won’t necessarily be available on Netflix, but you will still be able to rent them on Amazon and watch them through VidAngel.
Awesome tjanks for clarifying i apperciate it
Disney is not removing Marvel and Star Wars content from Netflix.
Does this mean the Marvel/Netflix shows will be added soon? (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders?). I surely hope so!! I’ve been wanting to watch those filtered for AGES!
Sorry to disappoint you Will.
According to the US copyright office, Marvel Television and Disney Enterprises co-own the copyright for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist.
In time we believe we’ll be able to offer the plaintiffs titles again as well.
Interesting. Well, I know that they’re produced by Marvel Studios, which is owned by Disney. But all the MCU films (such as Guardians of the Galaxy) are produced by Marvel Studios/Disney as well. So how is that movie allowed if it’s “technically” produced by Disney too?
yeah i dont get this either. i would rather have the shows filtered considering they are way more graphic than the movies since its Netflix.
Awww darn. I really badly want to watch Jessica Jones, but those sex scenes and all the f-bombs I just can’t do… CURSE YOU DISNEY! LET ME WATCH IT HOWEVER THE BLEEP I WANT! Or else I simply can’t watch it at all for anything rated Mature or R… *SIGHS* :-/
Has something changed? Marvel’s Defenders is listed in VidAngel right now and I just tested it and it loaded and started playing. If you guys can do Defenders I’m sure you can do Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, etc.
So is Punisher (the new tv one) more like Defenders or more like Daredevil? Will it be available soon on VidAngel?
Can you please post a list of all the Marvel movies available on VidAngel at this time?
I hope you’ll be able to filter Logan soon.
Logan wasn’t made by Marvel. It was made by 20th Century Fox.
I know I just want to watch it filtered.
clearplay has it on amazon. amazon.clearplay.com
Yeah, I know, but VidAngel’s program is more efficient and their filtering is less choppy. But I do admit I have used ClearPlay’s services more than VidAngel’s recently, because they have Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Wonder Woman.
At least with VidAngel you can get their app on ROKU etc.
Is Daredevil(the Affleck one) one of these movies? Or was that made by 20th Century Fox?
Just Kidding I don’t wanna watch that Daredevil. But I would love to watch The Netflix show.
I am logged in to my VidAngel account, yet this Blog header asks me to sign up or login. It seems to be an eternal circle if I try to satisfy the requirements.
My comment/question is: As small investors/shareholders in VidAngel, do we have access to any financial information?
Sorry about the confusion on the blog header. We’ll look into making that more clear.
We submit reports to the SEC twice a year: http://blog.vidangel.com/sec2016
These reports contain financial information.
Just to clarify, in the past we “bought” a movie and was able to filter it for $1. Now we have to subscribe to Netflix or Amazon as well as subscribe to VidAngel? Is there yet another charge to rent the movie?
It depends on whether the movie is available through your Netflix or Amazon prime account. If it is not, then you may have to pay an additional rental fee to Amazon to be able to watch it before it comes to Netflix or Amazon.
Will all marvel movies be available soon? None of the captain America movies are available but they are on amazon and Netflix. Also will doctor strange be up soon?
We’re working on them and they will be available soon.
Marvel’s Dr Strange is available on Netflix, but not showing up in the app. Do you have filters ready for that yet? Does this include any of the cartoons?
Sounds like a great step forward!
Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War is also available on Netflix, but it is showing the Disney/Darth block on it. Will that be available soon? This article makes it sound like it should be.
I see that some Marvel movies (e.g. Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man, etc.) are available now through Amazon, but Captain America is not, it is still showing the Darth Mouse block.
The blog post mentioned Marvel movies are or will be available, maybe I misread it. How long until Captain America and Dr. Strange, et alia are unblocked? Or are there other complications to that?
We’re working on all those films right now. They should be available soon.
Could you elaborate just a tiny bit on the security measures you guys take to keep our user logins and passwords to our streaming apps safe? It’s always a little nerve-wracking to give out passwords, especially to sites like Amazon, where if somebody got a hold of your password, they could do some serious damage! Do you guys feel like you have beefed up your security enough to thwart cyber attackers who may see you as an easy target to try to get a bunch of Amazon passwords.
Aaron, Great Question! You’ll notice that you have to enter your Amazon password on all your devices. This is because we don’t store your passwords on our servers. We encrypt them and store them on your phone or device. They can only be decrypted in conjunction with our service. This means that VidAngel is not a target for hackers as you fear because they can not access your password on our system.
If and when you can filter titles made by Warner Bros. can you please add The Flash, Arrow, and Gotham?
i wouldnt mind seeing Gotham its way more graphic than the others. Arrow and Flash are barely even PG worthy in my book
My guess is that they (VidAngel) will make as many of them available as quickly as they can. Each video requires some administrative review time before it can be released (which is why I was REALLY impressed that the new Game of Thrones were made available the day after release. I bet whether Amazon likes or dislikes filtering, they’ve picked up multiple HBO subscribers that they didn’t previously have.)
Personally, I want WB to stop fighting it so the wife will finally watch Westworld with me.
Yes please would like to watch all of them filtered!
What about Marvel films we had purchased for keeps on the old VidAngel? Will we regain access to those?
We’re working on that.
I am thankful that you guys found a workaround. God is great and worthy to be praised.
I’ve enjoyed the service thus far, but would like to see a one-time configuration online that, when I connect my devices (Roku, etc), all my services are already configured. Beyond that, it would be stellar if VidAngel worked with:
HBO Go/Now
Showtime Anytime
Starz
Vudu
I think you’ve already proven the model; connecting the above would be the icing on the cake.
That would mean that we store your Netflix and Amazon credentials on our servers. We designed the system so that VidAngel would not become a target to steal Amazon accounts. We’re working on the other options you mention.
I bought Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (plus bonus features) on Amazon. Can you please make filters for this version of the movie? I would really appreciate it.
-thanks
Thought I saw somewhere that if I request real discs of movies I bought under the old way for $20 outright, you would send them to me I the mail. Is that true? If so, how do I request them? Thanks!
Totally true. Send a note to support@vidangel.com
It’s true, but they’ll charge you $5 s&h per movie. Costs a lot to sift through the vault I guess.
Awesome! We’ve already streamed one of them, my boys love the superhero movies. Thanks for making this possible.
Sounds like Lucas Film is not a subsidiary?
The emailer says “Theatrical Version ONLY” which I take to mean “not filtered”. This doesn’t seem like an incentive to rejoin VidAngel.
That means that you can’t filter the extended cut or extras, just the theatrical version. But you can still filter.
Is new line cinema considered a subsidiary of warner bros
I believe it’s a DBA or doing business as and so it’s not technically a subsidiary but actually Warner Bros. I don’t have it right in front of me though so I’m not sure. I’m pretty sure we can’t do New Line yet.
Can you guys please add more Netflix documentaries? I would love to watch the Team Foxcatcher documentary filtered, because it says the f-word a couple times, but other than that it’s great.
So when will Guardians of the Galaxy 2 be available?
We are excited to have that one available on the website soon. Stay tuned for new releases every Friday! We don’t have a release date for this particular title yet, but we are working on building the filters for it right now!
I want to know the same thing.
I’ve gotta say Neal, you all are doing a great job. Keep fighting the good fight. I cancelled my trial because these movies were the main ones I’d want to filter, so my kids could watch them. Now that you have them, I’m thinking I will fully subscribe. (With wifey approval of course. 😁) Plus, I fully support your fight. God bless!
Is Deadpool one of the superhero movies? I can’t check the list because I don’t want to pay the monthly fee in order to log in if the movies I want to see aren’t on the list.
There’s a free trial to check it out. 20th Century Fox owns the copyright for Deadpool (and Fox is suing Vidangel). We’re asking the court currently if we can offer that title on our system.
I have signed up for vidangel, Netflix and amazon but not getting my movies to show up on Vidangel as an option!! I went online and connected my accounts but still not work!! Help!
You need to connect your accounts on any app that you’re using. For example, if you’re using a computer and browser, you’ll need to connect your accounts there. If you are also using a Roku, you will need to connect your accounts there. This is a slight inconvenience that was designed with the security of your Amazon and Netflix account in mind (we don’t store your username and password). Does that make sense? If you need additional help, contact support@vidangel.com
Since Pixar is a subsidiary of Disney will you be offering Pixar movies?
But, honestly, how much in a Pixar movie needs to be filtered?
Not working here. Error 110 when I try to watch any of my Amazon Prime videos through VidAngel. Tried on several devices. The app can’t see any of the movies I own. Bummer.
Rob, we are working hard on figuring out the cause of the 110 error. If you would write in to support@vidangel.com we would love to get more information from you. If you could answer these questions we hopefully can get to the bottom of that error more quickly.
* What show are you trying to watch?
* Does this error happen on any other Netflix/Amazon shows you play?
* Does this error happen if you try to play a VidAngel Studios Dry Bar Comedy special?
* Which device are you using?
* Does the same error message occur if you use the VidAngel app on another device?
Please let support know so we can help troubleshoot the situation. Thanks!
I was trying to watch Guardians of the Galaxy. I have the movie in my Amazon account, but it’s linked via DMA, and looking below I see that’s not going to work. So close… I was trying with an iPad and Roku stick and AppleTV with no luck.
Would that also apply to Vudu? I have a huge Vudu library, but a lot of the movies are DMA linked over from iTunes. I could redeem future codes via Vudu first if that makes a difference.
Any other Ultraviolet streaming options coming?
Maybe I can help. Movies that available through netflix don’t work. If you own a movie on amazon that is available through netflix, it won’t work. What you have to do is disconnect netflix from vidangel and rent/buy the movie you want to watch on amazon. I hope it’ll work.
Defenders is on now, can you add Daredevil?
I own a number of marvel movies in my Amazon account via DMA, but VidAngel won’t allow me to play them. Captain America Winter Soldier as an example. Is there a reason VidAngel doesn’t recognize this ownership relationship? I assume if I had it as a rental that I would be able to filter it.
Our system is not currently compatible with DMA movies. You would have to purchase or rent the movie directly through Amazon in order for it to connect to your VidAngel account. If you were to rent/buy Winter Soldier on Amazon, you would see the Amazon version under your “My Library” tab on VidAngel. If you have any other questions, please let us know at support@vidangel.com.
I’ll have to look into this a little further. Since it is linked to my account through DMA, Amazon shows that I already own it. I don’t know that I can rent/buy a movie I already own, but I’ll see what there is to see.
Can you add the 1990 version of “It” please?
When will VidAngel be available on Amazon Firestick?
Search for “VidAngel TV” in the Firestick store. It’s available now.
Hello. I’ve just came to say that ever since the marvel movies all showed up in the new releases – amazon rentals, no other new releases showed up. Love your work in the legal battle, VidAngel. Keep it up.
Can you please add Baby Driver?
Does that mean Marvel movies that I purchased through VidAngel will reappear in my library?
That’s the plan.
When will the other seasons of TURN be added to VidAngel?
Any chance you’ll be able to have The Last of the Mohicans or Blade Runner available? I’m new to this system and enjoying it so far.
Thank you for your recommendation. It looks like we will be unable to stream/filter both movies because they are being blocked by Warner Bros. and Fox studios. Great movies and wonderful recommendations. If things change, we will definitely add those to VidAngel when we can. Thanks for your support.
My husband and I are FINALLY able to watch the Sopranos. Thank you so much. Can’t wait until they finish season 2!
Amber, thank you so much for your support! Happy watching and keep spreading the VidAngel love!
OOH! Batman Begins is available on VidAngel now! Does that mean you guys can filter Warner Bros. Products again?
i was informed its only a select few films, they still cant do WestWorld
So you can filter Marvel movies and select Warner Bros. movies, will you be able to filter any 20th Century Fox movies anytime soon?
I’m loving vidangel right now. But I want to Rent Wonder woman on amazon and filter it on vidangel. But the only problem is that wonder woman is not on vidangel.. can you guy’s make that possible? like they say the faster the better.
You can rent it on Amazon and filter w/ the free clearplay extension.
Watched a movie on clearllay google chrome extension, honestly it was a terrible experience. So thankful for vidangel
I’m going to echo what Jake said and add that the entire audio did not match the action on screen. Anytime something was supposed to be bleeped out with the clearplay plugin, it wasn’t caught. Glad I wasn’t trying to watch it with my kids!
Vudu, Vudu, Vudu please, pretty please.
Do you have an ETA on when VidAngel will be available for Xbox One or as a Samsung TV app?
Not yet Parker. Thanks for your interest.
I’d love to show my daughter the new Wonder Woman movie. Is there a way to do this with VidAngel and Amazon Rental?
Unfortunately, that movie is owned by Warner Bros. and they are suing us. We can’t offer their content until the lawsuit gets resolved.
Are you crowd sourcing the ability to create edits for movies and TV shows where there are not edits available yet?
In other words, can I watch a movie and contribute edits?
Yes, but only for trained taggers. If you’re interested, please contact support@vidangel.com
One day we’d like to make it available for anyone from the public to contribute.
Is there any incentive offered to “trained taggers” such as waived monthly fees, or discounted monthly fees at least?
Trained taggers get paid for the service they provide. They use those payments how they wish. I like the idea of providing pay for others who would like to help in exchange for VidAngel credit.
For those who invested during the mini-IPO, are there any updates on if/when VidAngel may be traded as a public company? Is our investment going to be worth anything in the future?
We keep investors updated regularly via email. We do not yet have a date when we may be traded on an exchange.
We also do two reports a year to the SEC:
http://blog.vidangel.com/sec2016 (annual report)
All documents:
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=0001671941&action=getcompany
Those are the channels you’ll learn more about your investment and when it is time to trade. Thank you for helping us fight this battle.
Just glancing over the last few blogs on the lawsuit and I didn’t notice a date for the next court appearance/hearing. Any update on that type of a thing?
When is Wonder Woman going to be filtered? I purchased it through Amazon about a month ago, and have been waiting to watch it on Vidangel.
We hope soon. That film is Warner Bros and we are working through a few things in court before we publish it again.
How can Studios just throw their names in on an ongoing court proceeding? Seems wrong to me on so many levels.
What happened to the Marvel movies? I can’t find Thor: Dark World.
Here’s the latest update on the lawsuit: http://blog.vidangel.com/2018/06/01/vidangel-legal-update/
We still can’t offer Marvel.
Can you tell me if the Avengers movies are available on vidangel? To my knowledge, they were available a couple months ago.
We’re really sorry but Marvel was added to the California lawsuit. We’ve removed them temporarily out of an abundance of caution while we ask the court to let us know if we’re ok to filter those movies.
The September 2017 Marvel list includes Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and others. I was trying to get caught up on the MCU with my kids prior to up coming releases. I can’t find Iron Man 2 on the list of available movies in the VidAngel listings. I rented it through Amazon and still don’t do not see it. I was able to filter Iron Man (2008) earlier this week, but now I no longer see it either. Is there something happening?
thanks for your reply, Doc Jon
We’re really sorry but Marvel was added to the California lawsuit. We’ve removed them temporarily out of an abundance of caution while we ask the court to let us know if we’re ok to filter those movies.
Before the lawsuit we paid the $20 to watch a movie. When the service went away we lost the $19. Will we get that back with the new service?
Nevermind! I logged in and see the credit on my account. Thanks!
Any updates on this. Would love to filter the marvel movies…and Disney!!!
I would also be interested in knowing any updates. My kids are watching Spiderman homecoming over and over. I’m assuming this movie is available because of Sony’s involvement? It would be nice to filter some more superheroes.
When is this coming?
I’d like to see an update on this as well as the legal battle. Haven’t seen a substantial update in a long time.
We will provide one as soon as we have one. The legal system, at times, churns very slowly.
