The streaming wars are heating up this week with a fresh batch of high-profile movie releases designed to capture your attention. Leading the charge are two highly anticipated films featuring powerful female protagonists: the action-packed Ballerina and the sci-fi thriller M3GAN 2.0. Alongside these, a martial arts epic, a psychological drama, and a futuristic romance round out an impressive schedule.
On September 25, Starz subscribers can finally stream Ballerina, the John Wick spin-off that made waves in theaters. Ana de Armas stars as a relentless assassin on a mission to avenge her family. Directed by Len Wiseman, the film is packed with the intense action and intricate world-building that fans expect, offering a new perspective on the clandestine society of killers.
Also making a splash is M3GAN 2.0, the sequel to the viral sensation, which is now available on Peacock. After the events of the first film, a new threat emerges in the form of AMELIA, a military-grade android. To combat this menace, Gemma (Allison Williams) has no choice but to bring back M3GAN, turning the former villain into an unlikely protector in this action-oriented follow-up.
For fans of classic franchises, Netflix delivers Karate Kid: Legends on September 27. The film is a landmark event, pairing Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso with Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han. This dynamic duo mentors a new student in New York, merging two distinct cinematic legacies into one epic story of martial arts and personal growth.
Additionally, Hulu presents The Surfer on September 25, a tense thriller starring Nicolas Cage as a man pushed to his limits at a hostile beach. And for those seeking a story of the heart, Apple TV+ debuts All of You on September 26, a science fiction romance featuring Imogen Poots and Jenna Coleman as best friends whose deep bond is central to the film’s unique premise.
