Everett Collection James Cameron and Pixar are set to deliver a blockbuster streaming month for Disney+ as “Avatar: Fire and Ash” and “Hoppers” arrive on the platform after successful box office runs in movie theaters. Cameron’s “Fire and Ash” expands the universe of Pandora after two of the biggest movies in film history, “Avatar” and “Avatar: The Way of Water.” Pixar’s “Hoppers,” meanwhile, represents the iconic animation studio at its most adventurous and freewheeling. Expect both films to dominate the streaming charts this June.
Elsewhere on streaming this month, Netflix brings Jennifer Lopez and “Ted Lasso” favorite Brett Goldstein together for the steamy romantic-comedy “Office Romance.” Lopez is an icon of the genre thanks to “The Wedding Planner,” “Maid in Manhattan” and more, and co-writer Goldstein wrote the movie as a star vehicle for her. All signs point to “Office Romance” being a breezy summer hit for Netflix this month.
Check out a full rundown below of the biggest movies new to streaming in June.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (June 24 on Disney+)

Expect the title to be a summer streaming hit for Disney alongside Pixar’s “Hoppers,” which also makes it streaming premiere this month (see below). Variety hailed “Fire and Ash” as an improvement over “The Way of Water” and praised its “bolder and tighter” storytelling and “amazing” action scenes.
