Marvel’s “Moon Knight” Finale, May 4

Marvel’s newest Disney+ show, “Moon Knight,” starring Oscar Issac, airs its final episode on May 4th.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, May 6

After messing with the multiverse in Spiderman: Far from Home, Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) seeks out the help of the Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), and Wong (Benedict Wong). Marvel seems to be keeping most of the plot under wraps, but from trailers, it looks like quite the wild ride. 

Pascack Hills sophomore Sammy Lazar said, “I’m really excited to see the movie on opening night. I can’t wait to see how the plot unfolds.”

“Candy,” May 9

A new show is coming to Hulu! The series consists of five episodes, each one coming a day after the previous. The show is from the people behind The Act. It’s a new true-crime show starring Jessica Biel. She plays Candy Montgomery, a normal 1980 housewife/mother who seemed to have it all. That is, until she was accused of murdering her neighbor Betty Gore (Melanie Lynskey).

Firestarter, May 13

This movie is a reiteration of Stephen King’s “Firestarter” starring Zac Efron and Sydney Lemmon. They’re parents to their daughter Charlie (Ryan Kiera Armstrong).

A new movie coming to Disney+ based on two iconic Disney characters, Chip and Dale. The movie takes place 30 years after Chip and Dales show “Rescue Rangers” ends. Chip goes on to be an insurance salesman while Dale had something called the “CGI surgery” in hope it would help him relive his past. When someone from their old show goes missing it leads Chip and Dale to team up in order to save their friend. After watching the trailer for this movie it looks like a “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” style movie, with its mix of animation and real footage.
