From the Indiana Jones franchise to new Disney+ originals, subscribers have plenty of movies to stream on the platform this month.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a recent addition to Disney+ that came in at the end of May. Kicking off Phase 5 of the MCU, Quantumania follows Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), and their families as they become trapped in the Quantum Realm, where they run afoul of a new time-traveling villain, Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors), who may one day become an Avengers-level threat.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania had a somewhat disappointing box office run, but its arrival on Disney+ lets any viewers who skipped the movie in theaters experience the magic of the Quantum Realm from home. As the MCU prepares to unveil Avengers: The Kang Dynasty in the next several years, Quantumania is one film audiences don't want to miss.
Ahead of the highly anticipated release of Indiana Jones 5, the 1982 original, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, is finally coming home to Disney+. The iconic film by Hollywood legends Steven Spielberg and George Lucas follows archaeology professor Dr. Henry Jones Jr., a.k.a. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), on an adventure of a lifetime as he uncovers the long-lost Ark of the Covenant.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is an all-time classic that has long been absent from Disney+'s library. The movie kicked off a franchise, leading to several more sequels focusing on Harrison Ford's intrepid adventurer. Any viewers looking to experience Indy's first onscreen adventure ahead of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny can now do so on Disney+.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a 1984 prequel to the original Indiana Jones, following the eponymous adventurer as he uncovers an ancient and dangerous civilization and its prized relic, the Sankara Stone. The second Indiana Jones movie finally joins the other entries in the franchise on Disney+ starting May 31st.
RELATED: National Treasure: Edge of History & 9 Other Canceled TV SpinoffsAlthough Temple of Doom isn't typically considered one of the best Indiana Jones films, the movie has plenty of iconic moments and characters that viewers will enjoy revisiting ahead of Dial of Destiny. As an added bonus, the prequel also features recent Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan in his very first film appearance.
1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is finally joining Disney+'s vast library for the very first time. The film follows Indiana Jones as he reconnects with his father (Sean Connery) during a quest for the Holy Grail. As the third film in the original Indiana Jones trilogy, The Last Crusade momentarily brings an end to one of the most binge-worthy action movie franchises of all time.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is one of the most rewatchable entries in the franchise, aging remarkably well compared to its contemporaries. The film's core focus on Indy and his father's relationship is a series highlight, making The Last Crusade a perfect watch in anticipation of Dial of Destiny.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the fourth movie in the iconic adventure franchise, set several decades after the events of the original trilogy. The long-awaited sequel follows Indiana Jones and his long-lost son Mutt Williams (Shia LeBeouf) as they uncover the ancient secret of the South American crystal skulls.
Although Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has been ridiculed in the years since its release, the film is still worth a watch ahead of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Now that the sequel has arrived on Disney+, viewers can make up their own minds about how well Kingdom of the Crystal Skull fits into the larger Indiana Jones franchise.
Avatar: The Way of Water is coming to Disney+ on June 7th, a sequel to one of the most visually stunning blockbusters of all time. The Way of Water follows the Sully family as they once again run afoul of human invaders. Leaving the forests behind, the Sullys make their new home among the members of the Water Tribe.
Avatar: The Way of Water lives up to the legacy of its predecessor in every conceivable way, delivering some of the most compelling imagery of any modern movie. Now that the sequel's theatrical run is coming to a close, viewers can finally experience Avatar 2's thrills from the comfort of home.

Legendary comic book creator Stan Lee will be the subject of a brand new Disney+ documentary premiering on June 16th. Stan Lee is set to celebrate 100 years of the Marvel Comics writer's life, legacy, and near-endless bibliography of comic book creations.

The upcoming film will likely recontextualize the comic book legend's legacy with the benefit of a century's hindsight. As the man who co-created many of the characters populating Disney+, Stan Lee certainly deserves to have his legacy cemented on the streaming platform.
A Disney+ original, World's Best will be available to stream on June 23rd. The new film is set to follow Raj Patel (Utkarsh Mmbudkar), as he struggles to make two dreams come true at once – learning to balance his mathematical prowess with his desire to become a legendary rap star.
