It’s Friday, and you know what that means, Disney lovers? Yes, a load of new additions are going up on Disney Plus. This week, there’s a mix of documentaries, the latest episodes of the streaming service’s ongoing shows and a couple of movies we haven’t seen before on the site. One of which is only the second ever X-Men film to be made available on D+.
The two pics in question are Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, the 2017 soft reboot of the Fox family comedy franchise based on Jeff Kinney’s books, and X-Men: Apocalypse. The 2016 superhero flick was the sequel to 2014’s Days of Future Past, which fittingly just debuted on D+ last weekend. These are the first two X-movies on the service, with The Wolverine and 2000’s X-Men to come later this year as part of D+’s Summer Movie Nights schedule.

Apocalypse is the latest, in terms of release date chronology, X-Men film that’s arrived on Disney Plus this summer. Presumably, Logan and the two Deadpools will never be added to the site due to their mature nature, while Dark Phoenix is currently available to view on HBO Max instead. As for Fox’s other former Marvel property, 2015’s Fantastic Four is already up on D+, while the 2005 version is due to arrive next month.
The highlights of the rest of today’s selection include National Geographic’s Lost City of Machu Picchu, The Mouseketeers at Walt Disney World, a classic documentary from the vaults, and all of mid-00s Fox cartoon Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!
