Disney Plus: which series and movies to watch?

Disney + has been available in France for a little over a year now, and this SVOD service does not have to be ashamed of its strong competition.

Indeed, its catalog is expanding every month by integrating new content from its various studios, and there are more and more of them.

As a reminder, Disney + obviously offers content from Disney studios, but also from Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm (Star Wars), National Geographic, 20th Century Fox, and much more since the recent addition of the Star section within the platform catalog.

In this month of April, we can mention among the essentials the streaming series Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the film Red Sparrow or the mini-series Love in the Age of Corona.

But the Disney + program of the month is far from being limited to that: here it is in detail, which should allow you to organize your screenings, and help make your Disney + subscription profitable!

Not to be missed on Disney + in April

Films, series and documentaries are shared this month on Disney +: the streaming content service knows how to be generous for children, adolescents and adults, with a wide variety of content.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series is not, strictly speaking, an April series since it debuted at the end of March.

However, at the rate of one episode per week and an integral which will only have six episodes in all, the finale of this mini-series will be posted online during the month of April: those who are impatiently waiting for having the six episodes to eat to begin their viewing will therefore soon be rewarded.

If, at the moment, Marvel films are particularly rare in theaters, we can only salute the ambitions of the studios of the same name to offer high-quality mini-series: the debauchery of means here is rather incredible, and Falcon and The Soldier and the Winter has all the makings of film productions featuring the Avengers.

And since the series is a Disney + exclusive, it's a must-have if you don't want to miss out on anything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Last episode release date: April 23

Red sparrow

Released in 2018 at the 20th Century Fox studio, since acquired by Disney, Red Sparrow is a dark and violent film in which a young Russian ballerina, whose career was shattered following an injury, is forcibly recruited by the secret services of his country.

This is how Dominika Egorova finds herself embarked against her will in an incredibly strict formation in which she quickly pulls out of the game. Very quickly, she becomes one of the best recruits: she is then entrusted with a mission of the highest level. importance.

Transformed into a deadly weapon, Dominika does what is asked of her, but does not forget that she is not there out of envy ... at the exit of this film, the connection had been made with the character of Black Widow, which makes sense since the two characters have some things in common.

However, here there is no question of super heroes.

Jennifer Lawrence delivers a performance that is both sensual and effective, for a film clearly aimed at an adult audience.

Release date: April 9.

Love in the time of the Corona

This mini-series in four episodes can be found in the Star section of Disney +.

It features four American couples who, in the midst of a global pandemic, experience their relationships with love, with family, with proximity to their loved ones differently ... it could have been a documentary, but it is actually about of a beautifully produced fiction, which takes a touching look at our present time.

As the name of the series suggests, Covid-1 and containment play an important role in it.

The reference to the title of the novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Love in the time of cholera is, of course, a little easy, but it sticks rather well to this mini-series which is worth the detour.

In addition to a careful production and a quality interpretation, it tells four very different stories, which give food for thought about our own experience.

Release date: April 2.
