The Internet rumors are out that Disney may be planning to create Star Wars and Marvel streaming channels.

According to Daily Finance, Disney CEO Bob Iger alluded to the potential for online streaming channels via a conference call when asked about Disney launching its own streaming channel.

“We have said that with these channels and these brands — ESPN, ABC, Disney, maybe even down the road something related to Star Wars and Marvel — we do have an ability as a company to take product, specifically filmed entertainment, television, movies, directly to consumers,” Iger told reporters.

As Daily Finance points out, Disney has spent “billions” acquiring its new collection of “superheroes and sci-fi stars,” and is no stranger to quickly adapting to monetize. They cite Disney’s relationship with Apple’s iTunes (thanks, Steve Jobs!), ESPN on DISH’s Sling TV, and Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix as key partnerships in Disney’s arsenal as it embraces the digital revolution.

Will dedicated Star Wars and Marvel streaming channels be next, making it harder to leave the couch? We shall see.
