Many, many, many new options to choose from.

While it was only released a few weeks ago, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will actually be available to watch on Disney+ from Wednesday, 22 June.

But ahead of that, we’ve got plenty more new additions to Disney+ to check out, starting with…

A TIME TO KILL

One of the better John Grisham adaptations, featuring a very impressive all-star cast: Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland, Ashley Judd and Kiefer Sutherland.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

Andrew Garfield’s first time out as Peter Parker is basically just another retread of Spidey’s origin story, but pitting him against the less-interesting villain, The Lizard (Rhys Ifans).

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

Garfield’s Spidey-sequel overloads with villains: Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan), Electro (Jamie Foxx) and Rhino (Paul Giamatti).

BEDAZZLED

A lonely man (Brendan Fraser) sells his soul to the devil (Elizabeth Hurley) in exchange for three wishes. Comedic hijinks ensue. Sort of.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

The Oscar-winning musical biopic focusing on Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, here played by Rami Malek.

DON’T SAY A WORD

A psychiatrist (Michael Douglas) is forced by a group of thieves (headed up by Sean Bean) to discover the code to a safe that is hidden within the deep recesses of the mind of one of his patients (Brittany Murphy).

DOWN WITH LOVE

Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger star in this rom-com that attempts to recapture the style and mood of the genre from the 1960s.

ELEKTRA

The spin-off of Daredevil puts Jennifer Garner front and centre. It… isn’t great.

ENTRAPMENT

Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones star in this bad-but-still-weirdly-entertaining heist movie.

THE FOUNTAIN

Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz headline this gorgeous and emotional love story that takes place across thousands of years.

LEGEND

From director Ridley Scott, this 1985 action fantasy sees a knight (Tom Cruise) attempt to save a princess, and the world, from what is basically the devil (Tim Curry).

THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE

A man (Matt Damon) looking for meaning in his life meets a mysterious golf caddie (Will Smith), who teaches him how to perfect his game, while also imparting some big life lessons.

MEN OF HONOR

Based on a true story, a black US Navy recruit (Cuba Gooding Jr.) attempts to overcome the racism he faces while trying to become the force’s first ever black diver, even after he loses one of his legs. Co-stars Robert De Niro and Charlize Theron.

MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND

Luke Wilson is dating a woman, Uma Thurman, who appears to be normal. He soon discovers that she is actually a mega-powered superhero, which causes all sorts of trouble for him when he decides to break up with her.

NOTES ON A SCANDAL

Veteran teacher Barbara (Judi Dench) forms a strong bond with a new colleague Sheba (Cate Blanchett), but things take a turn for the worse when Barbara discovers Sheba has been having an affair with one of her teenage students.

SPIDER-MAN

Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire struck gold with this big screen adaptation of the teenager who was bitten by a radioactive spider.

SPIDER-MAN 2

Regarded as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time, with a lot of the new heavy lifting done by Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus.

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

Probably still the best Tom Holland solo Spider-Man movie, even though he is mostly paired with Iron Man in this one.

TRUE STORY

A disgraced journalist (Jonah Hill) discovers that his identity has been stolen, and the man who stole it (James Franco) is now in jail, who also happens to be on the FBI’s most-wanted list.

UNDER SIEGE

The good one, on the boat.

UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY

The bad one, on the train.
