Unfortunately, Netflix tends to wait until the middle of the month to announce what’s leaving on the 1st of the following month. Many of the titles departing Netflix on May 1 are great films, includingBlade Runner: The Final Cut,Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,Friday,Queen & Slim, and more. There isn’t much time to catch those movies, but there’s still a whole month to ensure you can watch any of your favorite shows or films before they head out the door.
The Lost City,The Peanut Butter Falcon, ASimple Favor, andThe Sum of All Fearsare all leaving Netflix this month. But if you love superheroes, catch the animatedJustice LeagueandJustice League Unlimitedseries. Both of those shows have some incredible superhero stories with great writing and voice acting. The live-action films have yet to be able to recapture the spirit of the comic books that these shows pulled off over two decades ago.

The Lost City (2022)
Alan Caprison (Tatum) is the cover model for Loretta’s novels, and he’s secretly in love with her. When Loretta is kidnapped by a deranged billionaire, Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe), Alan takes it upon himself to follow them to a remote island so he can rescue her. Fairfax is convinced that Loretta’s research is the key to unlocking the hidden city he’s discovered, and she may need to prove him right if she and Alan ever want to escape the island with their lives.
