What can I watch on Disney Plus with Roku?
Disney Plus comes with an impressive array of content, including many movies and TV series made under the banners of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. New content is constantly being added, including series specially tailored for Star on Disney Plus, bringing more mature content to viewers in the UK, Australia and Canada. If you want to keep up with the latest news from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you'll need to check out WandaVision. Along with Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, he puts two of the Avengers in an unusual domestic situation that is eerily reminiscent of classic sitcoms. If you want a reminder of their characters' stories, all of the Avengers movies are also available: watch the Marvel movies in order and binge. Star Wars fans should go straight to The Mandalorian. Set five years after Return of the Jedi, this series stars Pedro Pascal as a bounty hunter who cares for a Force-sensitive boy. Another highlight is Soul, the latest animated film from Pixar. It stars Jamie Foxx as an aspiring jazz musician whose soul is accidentally separated from his body. Its theatrical release has been halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but you can recreate the cinematic experience at home with Disney Plus.
