The animated Scooby Doo movie Scoob and Josh Trank’s Capone, which stars Tom Hardy as the gangster are finally available to watch, as are Kristen Stewart in Seberg and last year’s dark horse Uncut Gems. Plus, The Wrong Missy and season 5 of She-Ra are new to Netflix. Here’s everything to stream now.
Movies still aren’t back, as the COVID-19 pandemic has shut down theaters and pushed some movies back until later in the year (or until 2021), but the film industry sees light at the end of the tunnel. This week, the Russell Crowe thriller Unhinged received a theatrical release date of July 1, and is being touted as the first post-pandemic movie.
Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, set to hit theaters on July 17, still hasn’t moved on the calendar. Global film production is slowly making its comeback, too, as Wong Kar-Wai’s new film Blossoms ramps up to shoot in mainland China in July. Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller has also confirmed that a prequel to the hit film is underway, focusing on the younger version of Charlize Theron’s Imperator Furiosa.
For now, however, movies are still best watched at home. Here are the new titles you can watch this weekend, including some of the bigger titles that are new on Netflix in May, and where to find them.
Where to watch it: Rent on digital $9.99 on Google Play, Amazon and Apple
After the disaster that was Fantastic Four, Josh Trank returns with Capone, a biopic of the 1920s mob boss Al Capone in his final year of life. Tom Hardy stars as Capone, and it might just be his wildest performance yet. From our review:
Trank’s Fantastic Four was meddled with beyond recognition, and crashed in its attempt at appealing to every lowest common denominator. Capone, by contrast, doesn’t make any concession toward what an audience might want to see from a gangster biopic. It’s a bold comeback for Trank. Hardy’s outsized performance could easily have fit into a biopic of a hale, healthy, and active Capone. Instead, Trank matches that vigor with inventiveness, finding an unusual new way of addressing an iconic figure.
