New on Disney+ UK in June 2022: What to stream, from 'Ms. Marvel' to 'Atlanta'
It seems like only yesterday that we said goodbye to Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight accent and Obi-Wan Kenobi is keeping the Disney+ marquee alive, but the MCU is heading straight back to our screens in June with something very exciting in Ms. Marvel. Iman Vellani will play the titular teenage hero in the series, which looks to have a very different feel to Moon Knight and other recent Marvel outings.
On the movie front, there's the raucous LGBT+ comedy Fire Island and a sequel to one of the original films that helped to launch Disney+ in the UK back in 2020 in the shape of Hollywood Stargirl.

Here's everything heading to Disney+ UK in June 2022...
Original movies coming to Disney+ UK in June 2022
Fire Island (3 June)
Located just off the shores of Long Island, Fire Island has become a rite of passage vacation spot for the LGBT+ community in America. This comedy directed by Andrew Ahn loosely transposes the action of Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice to this very different locale. Joel Kim Booster leads the cast as Noah and was also responsible for penning the script.
Hollywood Stargirl (3 June)
Stargirl was among the titles to be a part of Disney+ when it first launched in the UK in March 2020, within a week or two of the country entering its first COVID-19 lockdown. Fronted by likeable young music star Grace VanderWaal, the movie was a traditional, slushy YA drama but one that came with real heart and a sense of fun.
Two years later, sequel Hollywood Stargirl sees Julia Hart return to the director's chair, adding some A-list names to the cast. Judy Greer plays Stargirl's mother Ana, who relocates with her daughter to Los Angeles when she gets a job on a movie set. This gives Stargirl a whole new community into which she must try to fit.
Rise (24 June)
Akin Omotoso directs this sports drama, based on the true story of three Nigerian-Greek brothers who achieved greatness through basketball after emigrating to the USA. The Antetokounmpo family arrive in America and find themselves facing the threat of deportation, but when three of the family's children discover an aptitude on the court, they find a glimmer of hope that becomes something special.
Trevor: The Musical (24 June)
Based on an Oscar-winning short film, the 80s-set musical Trevor charts the experiences of a teenager struggling to embrace his LGBT+ identity. Having run on stage off-Broadway, this filmed edition of the production is now heading to Disney+.
Spider-Man movies (17 June)
At long last, Peter Parker is coming home to join his Marvel compatriots on the streaming home of the MCU. Disney+ in UK & Ireland announced that five Spider-Man films will be launching on Disney+ this month.
