Get ready to fire up your Disney Plus account because Marvel’s next big streaming event is landing soon. Captain America: Brave New World, starring Anthony Mackie as the new shield-bearing hero, is set to premiere on Disney Plus on Wednesday, May 28, 2025 – just in time to kick off your summer streaming lineup.
Sam Wilson Takes the Lead
After officially picking up the mantle of Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson (played by Mackie) leads this feature-length adventure that dives deeper into his journey as the star-spangled Avenger. This time, he’s battling forces that may tie directly to President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.
The film hit theaters earlier this year in February and has since generated buzz for its fresh direction, complex political undertones, and a few thrilling surprises – including a must-watch post-credits scene.
Who Else Is in It?
The cast is stacked:
- Danny Ramirez returns as Joaquin Torres
- Giancarlo Esposito joins in a mysterious role
- Liv Tyler reprises her role from The Incredible Hulk
- Carl Lumbly plays Isaiah Bradley, offering emotional weight
- Xosha Roquemore adds some political bite to the mix
While Thunderbolts continues building the dark side of the MCU, Brave New World brings patriotic chaos and high-stakes drama front and center.
