When wreckage from a destroyed alien spacecraft scatters across the Western Hemisphere, it soon becomes apparent the pieces are messing with the laws of physics, changing lives in ways we can’t comprehend.

To reach — let alone defeat — the titular final baddie, Pulver must understand his enemies’ strengths and weaknesses, which inspires him to train with a legendary sword-master named Dai Feng (Michelle Yeoh).

Also on March 5, the Amazon feature film Coming 2 America will debut online. Set after the events of the first film, former Prince Akeem Joffer (Edide Murphy) is set to become King of Zamunda when he discovers he has a son he never knew about in America – a street savvy Queens native named Lavelle (Jermaine Fowler).

However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than dragon magic to save the world—it’s going to take trust as well. Other voices will be provided by Awkwafina, Gemma Chan, Daniel Dae Kim, Sandra Oh, Benedict Wong and Ross Butler.

On March 6, the Hallmark Channel movie Fit for a Prince will debut at 9 PM.
