‘The Jungle Cruise’

For viewers who want to experience the eighth wonder of the world without traveling to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, this live-action adventure is the next best thing. The Jungle Cruise features Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt on a riverside journey inspired by the theme park attraction of the same name.

This wouldn’t be the first Disney original movie inspired by the company’s theme parks. Previously, Walt Disney Studios released flicks like The Haunted Mansion, The Country Bears, and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Along with movies like Raya and the Last Dragon and the live-action adaptation of Mulan, The Jungle Cruise will first be available for an added fee, with their “Premier Access.” The Premiere Access release date is July 30. That is the same date that The Jungle Cruise will be released in theaters.

‘The Sandlot’ and its sequel, ‘The Sandlot 2’

Baseball is their whole lives. The characters of this series make this sport a part of their daily routine, always returning to the sandlot to play. Now, the original version of this movie will be on Disney’s streaming platform, Disney+, beginning on July 2.

The Sandlot 2 will also be available for streaming, beginning on July 2. Until then, the remake of The Sandlot is already on Disney+.

‘Black Widow’

This superhero appeared in films like Avengers: Infinity War and Captain America: Civil War. Now, fans will discover how Natalia Alianovna “Natasha” Romanova became a former Russian spy. Black Widow features the return of this Marvel character, portrayed by Scarlett Johansson, along with new characters.

Black Widow premieres in theaters and on Disney+ on July 9. This movie will be available exclusively with Premiere Access, along with The Jungle Cruise. Until then, other Marvel films, including Avengers: Endgame, are already available on this subscription service.

‘Garfield’

He’s a lovable cat, and first the first time, he’ll be joining Disney’s streaming platform. Garfield, released in 2004, tells the story of this animated cat and his relationship with the new household pet — a dog named Odie. This movie will be available for streaming on July 30.

July also brings new episodes of Disney+ originals. That includes the season finale of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, the season finale of Marvel’s Loki, and the premiere of Monsters at Work. To learn more about Disney’s streaming platform and to subscribe, visit their website.
