Disney’s Upfront Went Hard on Sports — With an Off-Key Manning Brothers Musical — but Hardly Mentioned ABC
Peyton and Eli Manning really want to develop their acting careers, if Disney's upfront show is to be believed.
Among them were Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short from “Only Murders in the Building”; Jeremy Allen-White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach from “The Bear” (with all three mentioning the Disney-backed films they also act in); Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope and Ashton Kutcher from Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX horror series “The Beauty”; and Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close and Teyana Taylor from Hulu’s upcoming legal drama (another Murphy show) “All’s Fair,” with series lead Kim Kardashian introducing them in a pre-recorded video. Following a creepy intro by Darth Vader, Diego Luna and Hayden Christensen noted that this year is the 20th anniversary of “Revenge of the Sith” and remarked on the ubiquity of Star Wars fans worldwide — while emphasizing that the entirety of the franchise streams on Disney+, including the “Andor” Season 2 finale which would debut just hours after the upfront. And as the industry leader in family programming, Disney also paired Ginnifer Goodwin with Auliʻi Cravalho to shout out the upcoming theatrical releases of “Zootopia 2” and “Moana 2,” while also mentioning the massive Disney+ viewership achieved by the original films in both of those series.
