when downloading movies, series and anime they mostly come in those formats. Can they contain virus? if yes, do they get detected with antivirus?

as a reminder: in systems on Linux, remember to check the permissions of non executable files if you're extracting them from a zip folder or similar, since those tends to preserve file permissions before you double-click them.

Also for Linux: If you're paranoid about getting hit by a video-player exploit, I think you could thwart most attempts by throwing your player into firejail (maybe a properly configured flatpak could also do the trick?)
