Check off the latest Marvel film before seeing The Eternals in cinemas, with Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings, plus there are more superheroics in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. And if you’ve still got some spooky left in you, don’t miss out on Halloween Kills, because Michael Myers isn’t finished yet.
Here is the current pick of what’s available to buy or rent on the Virgin Media Store…
Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings

In the latest instalment from the MCU, we meet Shaun (Simu Liu), who lives in San Francisco and works as a car valet with his best friend Katy (Awkwafina).

Let’s just say that Shaun is actually called Shang-Chi, and there are some powerful heroes and villains wanting to get their hands on him!
Halloween Kills

It’s the American slasher franchise that keeps on giving – that’s right, Michael Myers is back. Halloween’s twelfth instalment sees the return of Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie, who’s frankly sick to the back teeth of the Boogieman incarnate ruining her life. Following on from 2018’s Halloween, in which the gang trapped Michael in Laurie’s burning basement, it picks up from the exact moment they realise the serial killer isn’t finished yet.

As adults, Ted (Alec Baldwin) and Tim (James Marsden) are reluctantly reunited for Christmas, only to discover that Tim’s daughter can talk, and has a lot to say about the family business.

Evan is a socially anxious, timid teenager, whose therapist has advised he write letters to himself in order to boost his self-esteem.

The film stars Ben Platt as Evan Hansen, who brought life to the character on Broadway between 2015 and 2017.
Young Rock
Series 1 available to buy from Sunday 20 November
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a household name nowadays, but the wrestler-turned-actor has never shied away from his humble beginnings. Famously he only had seven dollars in his pocket when he was cut from the Canadian Football League in 1995. In Young Rock, we get to see snapshots of The Rock’s formative years, following his dad, Rocky “Soul Man” Johnson, around the world as a WWE pro-wrestler.
The Outlaws

In Stephen Merchant’s new BBC series, we meet a ragtag bunch of wrong-doers, completing community service together.
