Listen, you know what’s coming to Disney+ in July—or at least you know of one specific thing. A thing that left an unimaginably large impact on the world of pop culture. A thing about a man whose name you may know but whose origin story you may not know, who pulled himself up from humble beginnings to become a hero and a scholar and a founding father (without a father) of a new republic… sorry, the New Republic. Yes, obviously, we’re talking about Han Solo, star of Solo: A Star Wars Story, which is coming to Disney+ on July 10 and can finally be seen by a large number of people without them needing to wait in long lines and win tickets in a lottery. It even has the original cast, with Alden Ehrenreich as Han, Donald Glover as Lando, Emilia Clarke as Qi’ra, and Woody Harrelson as King George (that doesn’t sound right…).
Solo aside, Disney+ is also getting The Mighty Ducks and The Big Green (for everyone who misses professional sports), the premiere of the new unscripted Muppets Now series, and the new Beyoncé visual album Black Is King. Oh, also, the press release put out by Disney mentions something about a ridiculously popular, successful, and critically acclaimed Broadway musical called Hamilton that was created by (and stars) Lin-Manuel Miranda from Mary Poppins Returns. It’s coming on July 3. Maybe see what that’s all about after you watch Solo: A Star Wars Story? We can safely say that at least one of them is very good.
The full list of what’s coming to Disney+ in July is below.
