What’s New on Disney+ in August 2022
Damn, Disney+. I know I made fun of you last month for not presenting anything good, but a new Marvel show, a new Star Wars show, a major Pixar premiere and a third season of Bluey , all in one month? I must have hit a nerve.
Hot on the trail of Ms. Marvel comes She -Hulk: Attorney at Law ( August 17), another shipment from the lighter side of the Marvel streaming universe, or whatever we call this offshoot of the MCU made for TV. . Black Orphan ‘s Tatiana Maslany plays a big green girl, also known as Jennifer Walters, who must balance her superhero career with paid hours as a lawyer specializing in superhuman cases.
The trailer drew some criticism due to the tricky special effects, but I’d rather focus on the fact that the show, created by Rick and Morty alum Jessica Gao, will maintain the romantic comedy spirit of recent comic book runs from writers Charles Soule and Dan Slott. Not to be outdone, another major Disney franchise also has a new show: Andor, a prequel to, uh, Star Wars: A New Hope prequel, Rogue One following the titular morally conflicted rebel’s early adventures. . Diego Luna reprises her role from the film alongside Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma – and of course no other actress whose scenes were mostly deleted (in her case from the theatrical version of Revenge of the Sith ) has ever stretched the role is so strong. successfully.
The failure of Pixar Lightyear — you remember, that toy movie spin-off that somehow became a Fox News buzzword — is somehow already falling on the service on August 3rd. No doubt it will be better on streaming than in theaters, both with children and their adults, but I bet more of the latter are excited about the third season of Bluey (August 10), which pretends to be intended for young children, but actually teaches you to be a better parent.
Here’s everything else coming to Disney+ in August, like it hasn’t earned your $7.99 yet.
