What’s New On Disney+ | The Hate U Give (Australia/New Zealand)
It’s Friday and time to take a look at what’s new on Disney+ today in Australia and New Zealand. While it’s a light day for new content, there is still a great new film from 20th Century Studios.
Here’s the rundown:
The Hate U Give
Based on the best-selling novel, The Hate U Give tells the story of Starr Carter, who lives in two worlds: the poor, black neighborhood where she resides and the mostly white prep school she attends. This uneasy balance is shattered when she witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood friend by a policeman. Facing pressures from all sides, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what’s right.
The Consultant
Agents Coulson and Sitwell conspire to stop General Ross from meddling in S.H.I.E.L.D. affairs…and have just the person to help.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer
On his way to New Mexico before the events in Thor, agent Phil Coulson stops at a gas station—and encounters a crime in progress.
Team Thor: Part 1 & 2
This short satirical doc, directed by Taika Waititi (Marvel’s Thor: Rangnarok), suggests what Thor might have been doing while the rest of the Avengers were battling each other in Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War.
Team Daryl
With Thor gone, Darryl begins the search for a new roommate. Unfortunately, only one person responds to his ad…the Grandmaster.
Item 47
Following the epic climax to Marvel’s The Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D. recovered all but one piece of the alien technology left behind in New York City…a Chitauri weapon, aka “ITEM 47.” After a young couple stumble upon the elusive weapon, they embark on a bank-robbing spree.
Agent Carter
British operative Peggy Carter joins the nascent S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. As she searches for the “Zodiac” key, Agent Carter also battles her misogynistic, bureaucratic boss, Agent Flynn.
