Captain America: Brave New World Arrives on Disney+
If you’ve been waiting to catch Captain America: Brave New World from your couch, it’s time to fire up Disney+. The latest Marvel blockbuster soared onto the streaming platform on May 28, 2025, after its three-month run in theaters. This isn’t just another superhero sequel—it’s a pivotal chapter for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and fans are eager to dive in again or finally see what all the buzz is about.
The movie puts the spotlight fully on Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, who’s stepped up as the new Captain America. Directed by Julius Onah, the story hands Wilson a high-stakes global challenge involving none other than adamantium. That’s right—the rare, nearly indestructible metal at the heart of many Marvel legends is now the center of international intrigue, and four different nations are desperate to get their hands on it. Adding to the chaos is Harrison Ford taking on the role of U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, whose election shakes up the political landscape—and not in ways Wilson can easily predict.
Fans who followed the Disney+ series Falcon and the Winter Soldier will recognize the personal and moral dilemmas Wilson faces. This film broadens his arc, putting him face-to-face with global players and moral questions that push his leadership to the limits. The supporting cast brings in big names: Danny Ramirez, Giancarlo Esposito (in a mysterious, villainous turn), and Liv Tyler returns as Betty Ross. There’s no shortage of MCU callbacks and Easter eggs, especially for those who closely track Marvel’s interconnected storylines.
Streaming Details, Cast, and What’s Next for Marvel Fans
So, how can you watch it? Disney+ is your exclusive source, with subscriptions starting at $10.99 a month (ads included) or $16.99 if you can’t stand interruptions. For families or serial streamers, there’s a bundle that tosses in Hulu and ESPN+ at a discount. It’s a setup that Marvel’s used before—a standard three-month window from theaters to streaming, same as recent releases like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Deadpool & Wolverine. The formula makes sure fans can plan exactly when to tune in at home.
Those who stick around after the credits won’t be disappointed. The film caps things off with a post-credits tease that sets up Avengers: Doomsday, coming in 2026. Marvel’s famous for keeping the movie train rolling, and “Brave New World” does its part to set up bigger, universe-spanning stakes.
With a 2-hour runtime that’s packed but never rushed, the film gives more than just superhero spectacle. It’s Sam Wilson’s chance to carry the shield, prove his leadership, and carve his name into Marvel history. If you missed out at the theater or just want to relive Wilson’s journey, Disney+ has officially made it easy to jump in—no spoilers spared, unless you skip that after-credits scene.
