From the DC superhero action of Blue Beetle to the Windex-sponsored My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, there are some big movies that are new on VOD this week. Of course, if you’re me, you’re most excited for Gran Turismo, which also makes its streaming debut this week, not because it features an inspiring underdog story or the thrills of racecar driving, but because it features former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell in a rare dramatic role as the mother of gamer and racing champ Jann Mardenborough (Archie Madekwe).
These are just a few of the titles that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.
After Xolo Maridueña’s star-making turn in Cobra Kai, it was only a matter of time before he was tapped to star in a superhero franchise, and DC’s Blue Beetle was a perfect fit. Maridueña plays Jaime Reyes, a young man who unwittingly becomes the host for a sentient weapon called a Scarab that has chosen to use his body to do its bidding. Hapless at first, Jaime learns how to control the weapon to become the superhero known as the Blue Beetle. Bruna Marquezine, Susan Sarandon, and Harvey Guillen co-star.
After more than 20 years, the My Big Fat Greek Wedding franchise keeps on truckin’, for better or worse, for richer or poorer. In the latest film, which was directed by star Nia Vardalos, the Portokalos family actually heads to Greece, a logical step for the series, where they enjoy a family reunion to honor the patriarch of the family, Gus (who had been played by the late Michael Constantine) by visiting the Greek village he grew up in. John Corbett, Andrea Martin, Lainie Kazan, and Joey Fatone all return for this third installment.
