Everything Coming to Disney+ in August 2020
In August, Disney+ will stream its third 20th Century Fox X-Men film following July’s addition of X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: Days of Future Past (which features an F-bomb and Hugh Jackman’s uncensored bare butt). This time it’s the original X-Men movie, from 2000, landing on the site, during the first week of August, along with a documentary about the life of Howard Ashman, the lyricist behind Disney classics like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid.Also hitting in August? The Peanuts Movie, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, The Greatest Showman, and the live-action Beauty and the Beast from 2017 starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. And as one of the final MCU films to make its way over to Disney+ (the last remaining being the Spider-Man films and Incredible Hulk), Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp will finally be available.Notably absent from the Disney+ August schedule, of course, is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which was slated for August as the first of Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 series. Since the show wasn’t able to complete production due to the COVID-19 crisis, it’s now been unofficially delayed with no proposed release date announced.As far as original movies go, The One and Only Ivan, starring Bryan Cranston, about a 400-pound silverback gorilla who shares a communal habitat in a suburban shopping mall, is ready to tug at your heartstrings while Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe finds stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb on a mission to rescue their older sister Candace from aliens.Read on to see the full list of shows and movies coming to Disney+ in July.Disney Plus Spotlight: July 2020New on Disney Plus – Friday, August 7
