What’s coming soon to Disney+ UK in June 2020?
David Farnor | On 02, Jun 2020
Disney’s Netflix rival is here, serving up Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar originals, along with a post-modern revamp of High School Musical and almost every episode of The Simpsons. Except, due to both the coronavirus pandemic and Disney’s newcomer status in the streaming game, a lot of that original new content is a while off yet. This June, Disney is moving to combat that, bringing forward the release of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and release new family blockbuster Artemis Fowl straight to Disney+ rather than in cinemas. They’re joined by a new documentary taking us behind the scenes of Frozen 2, alongside the final weekly episodes of making-of docuseries Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian.
Here’s what’s coming soon to Disney+ UK in June 2020:
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil – 5th June
Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning return for this sequel, which sees Maleficent and her goddaughter Aurora begin to question the complex family ties that bind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies and dark new forces at play. The years have been kind to Maleficent and Aurora. Their relationship, born of heartbreak, revenge and ultimately love, has flourished. Yet the hatred between man and the fairies still exists. Aurora’s impending marriage to Prince Phillip is cause for celebration in the kingdom of Ulstead and the neighboring Moors, as the wedding serves to unite the two worlds. When an unexpected encounter introduces a powerful new alliance, Maleficent and Aurora are pulled apart to opposing sides in a Great War, testing their loyalties and causing them to question whether they can truly be family.
