Disney+ and Hulu Merge by 2026: John Wick Marathon Awaits with Keanu Reeves, Chris Hemsworth’s Human Limits Push, and More Aug Releases
Streaming platforms are set for significant transformation as Disney+ and Hulu merge into a single application by 2026. Currently, Disney boasts the hugely popular Marvel and Star Wars franchises, while Hulu offers a wealth of movies and shows from network partners.
With an abundance of content being released weekly across both services, we’ve handpicked three noteworthy additions for your viewing pleasure. The third week in August showcases an array of reality TV, including Chris Hemsworth pushing physical limits with advanced technology, as well as the John Wick series and more. Below is a comprehensive list of upcoming television shows and movies on these streaming services.
August 2023 will see all four John Wick films arrive on Hulu, providing the perfect opportunity for an action-packed marathon. These high-octane masterpieces showcase Keanu Reeves’ limited emoting while he dispatches numerous adversaries, complemented by exceptional supporting casts. Although the narrative “lore” may be questionable, the entertainment value makes it hard to care.
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne
Chris Hemsworth stars in this three-episode series that explores pushing human boundaries with cutting-edge technology. As portraying Thor demands peak physical and mental fitness, Hemsworth undergoes rigorous Special Forces training in South Korea and learns to play drums under pressure for Ed Sheeran. This concept promises an entertaining watch.
Directors: Darren Aronofsky, Jane Root, others
A polarizing film like 2024’s Levels instantly captures attention. Peter Mooney plays Joe, a bookseller who finds love only to have it abruptly taken away by a mysterious gunman. When he starts hearing his late lover’s voice, he becomes embroiled in a surreal blend of intersecting realities. Although somewhat chaotic and derivative, the visuals are engaging, and the leads exhibit good chemistry.
Cast: Cara Gee, Peter Mooney, Aaron Abrams
