The highly anticipated streaming platform promises over 800 films and 18,000 episodes in its vast content library.
We know some of you have already been eyeing what to watch while others are still struggling to find out which movie or series should they start, so here’s our top five films or TV series you should watch on Disney+ Hotstar.
#1 ‘WandaVision’
Among one of the most awaited spin-offs post-‘Avengers’, ‘WandaVision’, has received glowing reviews from critics and fans. We’ll get a glimpse of both Wanda and Vision’s life in an alternate universe which includes them having kids! Set in a 60s style comedy sitcom setting, we'll get to see more of the power couple's amazing powers.
Cast: Elizabeth Olson, Paul Bettany, Randall Park, Kat Dennings, Teyonah Parris
#2 ‘Loki’
Anyone misses the God of mischief? We know we do! Loki is back with more shenanigans after he created his own alternate timeline post ‘Endgame’. In his own series, Loki travels through time and helps alter human history.
Cast: Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku
#3 ‘The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’
We know Chris Evans/Steve Rogers is the best Captain America ever and no one can ever replace him but one can’t stop but to wonder what happens next after he gave up his shield to The Falcon. Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson team up on a worldwide adventure testing their abilities and patience.
Cast: Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Wyatt Russell, Don Cheadle,
#4 ‘Elephant’
‘Elephant’ isn’t that kind of documentary that’ll get you yawning within the first five minutes; it's quite the opposite actually. You’ll be surprised to see how much emotion that goes into the nature documentary that'll leave you in tears by the end of it. Set in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa, this documentary takes you on a journey of African elephant migration.
Cast: Meghan Markle
#5 ‘Monsters At Work’
‘Monsters At Work’ isn’t some creepy horror show where monsters come terrorising you at work but it features our beloved characters from ‘Monsters Inc.’ The monsters are getting their own spin-off show coming this July (long overdue, if you ask fans). Set sometime after the events of ‘Monster Inc.’, the monsters are making a transition to collect laughter instead of horrified screams of young children.
Cast: John Goodman, Mindy Kaling, Billy Crystal, Ben Feldman, Henry Winkler
