Thunderbolts was a smash hit, and the hype for The Fantastic Four: First Steps continues to rise. But what about Marvel’s first big-screen outing of 2025, which just a few months past release feels like it barely made a blip on the radar? If you passed on seeing Captain America: Brave New World in theaters, your chance to see if its tepid reception was fair—or if it’s worthy of a streaming renaissance—is nearly here: it hits Disney+ May 28.
Here’s a vintage-y poster shared on social media to spread the news:

Though Brave New World sort of felt like it came and went, as Variety reminds us it did decent box-office business after opening on Valentine’s Day ahead of the long President’s Day weekend. Though it slid quite a bit in its second weekend, it ended up with a worldwide gross of over $415 million.
Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, taking over the Captain America mantle from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, as well as Danny Ramirez as the new Falcon (taking over from, uh, Sam Wilson) and Harrison Ford as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, the U.S. President who’s also secretly (until the secret smashes out) the Red Hulk.
The supporting cast includes Carl Lumbly, Shira Haas, Tim Blake Nelson, Liv Tyler, Xosha Roquemore, and Giancarlo Esposito; the director, Julius Onah, also made 2018’s The Cloverfield Paradox.
You can stream Captain America: Brave New World on Disney+ starting May 28. So… will you?
