The second annual Disney Plus Day is almost here, launching on September 8 – just one day before the D23 expo. Thor: Love and Thunder will finally be available to stream, and fans can watch an exclusive behind-the-scenes making-of mini-doc about the film. Plus, go behind the scenes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, watch an all-new short starring Captain Marvel's Brie Larson, and get spooked with a new Latin American series about a haunted theme park.

Offline, AMC Theatres will hold $5 screenings of Encanto, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Newsies, Cars, and Thor: Ragnarok from September 8 to 19 at participating locations. Disneyland and Disney World guests get to enter the parks 30 minutes early and give out free digital PhotoPass downloads. For every new movie and TV show arriving on Disney Plus Day, read on below.

Thor must enlist the help of Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi), and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) – who is now the all-power Mighty Thor – to defeat Gorr once and for all.
