Mission: Impossible isn't the only franchise dropping on Netflix in July. You can also catch the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid and the film's two sequels when they drop on July 1. If you finished Cobra Kai and want to revisit the originals, with Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi, now is the time.

Every month, Netflix adds movies and TV shows to its library. Here are our picks for some of July’s most promising new titles. (Note: Streaming services occasionally change schedules without giving notice. For more recommendations on what to stream, sign up for our Watching newsletter here.)

"The Old Guard 2" is definitely the biggest movie this week. 2020's "The Old Guard" made our list of the top 100 superhero movies, so a sequel was always going to be a big deal. With Uma Thurman added to a cast that already starred Charlize Theron, it's undoubtedly a must-watch this week.
