Disney+ Adds New Cut to Star Wars: A New Hope, Han and Greedo Scene
Disney+ has a brand new iteration of the infamous "Han Shoots First" scene from the first Star Wars movie, Episode IV – A New Hope. It represents the first time the scene has changed since the 2011 Blu-ray, and the most noticeable difference since the scene was first altered in 1997.
After Han Solo says, "Yes, I'll bet you have," it cuts to a shot of Greedo saying a full phrase in his alien language before returning to the shot of both of them firing. Greedo says something along the lines of, "Ma-klunk-kley."
The new phrase does not come with subtitles, even though the rest of Greedo's dialogue from that scene does. The font of the subtitles has also been changed to the same style that appears on all Disney+ content.

Marvel’s What If? Art Reveals Zombie Captain America And Iron Cap
Art from Marvel’s What If?... Disney+ show has been shown off in a new mini documentary, and it gives us our first proper look at the MCU’s animated alternate time-line stories.
The images can be seen in Marvel Studios: Expanding the Universe, a 12 minute featurette available on Disney+. Currently there is not confirmation as to if these are indicative of the show’s actual art style, or just concept art, but it is our first detailed look at some of the characters and plotlines.
The images reveal elements from the first episode, confirmed to explore the idea of what would happen if Peggy Carter took Super Soldier Serum in the 1940s instead of Steve Rogers. We can see her in the vita-ray chamber, and dressed in a costume that’s more Captain Britain than Captain America, with a shield emblazoned with the Union flag. Interestingly, we also see her with a large Iron Man-style mech suit, revealed to be piloted by Steve Rogers. It looks like ‘Iron Cap’ will be a big part of the story.
