Despite only launching in November, Disney Plus has already brought in nearly 55 million subscribers, who’ve been enjoying all of their content hailing from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Star Wars franchise, Pixar, almost their entire back catalogue of animated films and much, much more.
However, it’s fair to say that when it comes to original material, Disney Plus hasn’t been bringing us very much. Sure, The Mandalorian was a major hit, but apart from that, none of their in-house projects have really stirred up any buzz. Unless, of course, you want to count Artemis Fowl, which has been making waves for all the wrong reasons.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like things will be improving on that front anytime soon, either. The Mouse House has just announced what’s headed our way in July and as you can see below, the list is lacking when it comes to buzzy original titles.

So, there you have it. That’s everything coming to Disney Plus next month and frankly, it’s a pretty exhaustive list. However, it must be said that there isn’t a whole lot on there that could be considered noteworthy or even particularly exciting.
The Hamilton special might appeal to those who enjoyed the play, while The Mighty Ducks could definitely provide a nice hit of nostalgia, but aside from that, there’s not much here that really sticks out. Well, aside from one title, that is.
Yes, Solo: A Star Wars Story is finally making its way to Disney Plus and though it’s far from the franchise’s best movie, it’s nice to have it on the streaming site along with all the other entries, as it’s been missing ever since the platform launched. Now, fans of that galaxy far, far away can watch the complete saga and its spinoffs all in one place.
But tell us, what will you be checking out on Disney Plus next month? As always, let us know down below.
