Stanley Sugarmen takes it upon himself to bring the talent to America mainland without his team’s permission. Against all odds, Sugarmen and Cruz have one last chance to prove they have what it takes to succeed in pro basketball.

Luck (Apple TV+)
Luck is an up-and-coming animated film from Apple TV Plus and Skydance Animation. It’s scheduled to premiere in the Summer on Apple TV+. Apple and Skydance announced its release alongside some additions to the film’s voice cast list.
The film is directed by Peggy Holmes and follows Sam Greenfield’s story ‘The Unluckiest Person Alive.’ After going through foster care, Sam Greenfield embarks on an expedition to the ‘Land of Luck, ‘ working with some magical creatures to change her life’s course.
The Gray Man (Netflix)
The Gray Man is a title that was recently confirmed to be a summer 2022 release. It has all the features of a Netflix crowd-pleaser, a top-notch budget coming in at over $200 million, and plenty of star figures such as Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling, and Wagner Moura.
Some of the previous action-packed Netflix titles that have followed this formula and been successful include Extraction and Spencer Confidential, which were top-three English-language Netflix titles following their release.
Netflix will massively promote ‘The Gray Man’ on the home screens of Netflix users when it debuts. There may also be interest in this film because it’s directed by the dynamic duo, the Russo brothers, whose last film was the widely acclaimed Avengers – End Game.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Prime Video)
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is another crowd-pleaser title, albeit this time not from Netflix but rather from Amazon Prime Video. This film will end almost five years of waiting among fans who’ve followed the project since the release of the first LOTR.
Prime Video’s new ‘Lord of The Rings’ series is scheduled to take place thousands of years before the previous ‘LOTR’ and ‘The Hobbit’ films, which have grossed hundreds of millions in box office earnings.
The wild fan base of novelist John Ronald Tolkien’s work shows that Amazon’s gamble on this series of films will help boost Prime Video subscriptions.
Thor: Love and Thunder (Disney +)
Thor: Love and Thunder is an up-and-coming superhero movie made by Marvel Studios and distributed by Disney. This title is expected to be a follow-up to Thor: Ragnarok, released in 2017, and the 29th film released under MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe).

This movie features some of the biggest names in Hollywood, such as Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Christian Bale, Dave Bautista, Jaimie Alexander, Karen Gillian, Melissa McCarthy, Natalie Portman, Russel Crowe, Sean Gunn, Tessa Thomson, and Vin Diesel.
