Many movies belong to collections (like Marvel Cinematic Universe or Harry Potter). When viewing a movie that’s part of a collection, you’ll see the entire collection displayed on the detail page.
On desktop, use arrow keys to navigate the hero slider and spacebar to pause/resume autoplay (when enabled).
