Deadpool & Wolverine, Despicable Me 4, Twisters and Inside Out 2 still packing out the multiplexes, here are some of the biggest options that are now on offer in your living rooms.The biggest new arrival is George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which is available now to rent via Apple TV here or to buy via Apple, Sky, Microsoft or Amazon.The spin-off prequel to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, it saw Anya Taylor-Joy assume the role of the fearless titular role of Furiosa, who is abducted by Chris Hemsworth’s Dementus and has to fight for her independence.In a five-star review, NME described it as “brilliant and unmissable”, adding: “The result is another extraordinary blockbuster juggernaut that in some sequences somehow excels even its predecessor, arresting viewers with its booming, utterly immersive world of grease, dust, motorbikes and carnage.”This week’s other standout addition to streaming platforms is Challengers, the spicy sports drama directed by Luca Guadagnino (Bones And All, Call Me By Your Name).It follows professional tennis champion Art Donaldson (Mike Faist) who is plotting a career comeback with the help of his wife Tashi Duncan (Zendaya), a former tennis rising star who was forced to retire due to an injury.At a tournament, however, Art is matched against Patrick Zweig (Josh O’Connor), who is his former best friend and his wife’s ex lover.NME awarded the film four stars, writing: “The performances are exceptional, with off-the-scale chemistry between all three leads. Zendaya, in particular, is a force of nature, and you feel her angry frustration at her own career path (which was cut short by injury) in every scene.

Tom Hardy has commented on the new Mad Max prequel, revealing that he hasn’t yet seen it.Hardy, who stars in Jeff Nichols’ new movie The Bikeriders, alongside Austin Butler and Jodie Comer, spoke in a recent interview about the prequel to his 2015 movie, Mad Max: Fury Road.Describing his own experience on Fury Road as “great”, the Peaky Blinders star said (via Variety): “ It absolutely was one of the most important things that ever happened to me in my career, ever. I’m grateful for that.”He continued, praising the film’s creator, saying: “I think George Miller is a genius, and the whole crew with everybody was amazing.
