Captain America: Brave New World Now Streaming—How to Watch at Home

LOS ANGELES, CA—After a two-month wait, Marvel’s latest installment, Captain America: Brave New World, is now available for streaming on digital platforms as of April 15, 2025. Fans can catch the film on popular platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV, moving the action from theaters to the comfort of homes worldwide.

This film marks a significant chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, being the fourth installment of the Captain America franchise. It is the first to feature Anthony Mackie in the lead role as Sam Wilson, who takes up the shield and title of Captain America following Chris Evans’ retirement after Avengers: Endgame in 2019. The storyline continues from Wilson’s evolution in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

In Brave New World, Sam finds himself embroiled in international turmoil after meeting newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford. According to the film’s synopsis, “Sam must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.”

The film showcases a strong ensemble cast featuring Mackie, Ford, Danny Ramirez as Falcon, Shira Haas as Sabra, and Giancarlo Esposito as the villain Sidewinder. Returning characters from the Marvel universe include Liv Tyler as Betty Ross and Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley.

At the global box office, Captain America: Brave New World grossed $413.67 million, which breaks down to $199.91 million domestically and $213.76 million internationally. However, this figure positions it as the fourth lowest-grossing film within the MCU, just ahead of Eternals, Black Widow, and The Marvels.

The film has received mixed reviews, holding a 48% critic score based on 334 reviews but a more favorable 79% audience approval rating from over 10,000 verified ratings, indicating a divide between critics and viewers.

Fans can rent Captain America: Brave New World for $19.99 or purchase it for $24.99. The rental period allows 30 days to start viewing and 48 hours to finish once started. Although the film is available on various video-on-demand platforms, an exclusive streaming date on Disney+ is still forthcoming.

Based on Marvel’s typical release patterns, the film may appear on Disney+ around May 2025, roughly three months after its theatrical release. Other sequels, like Deadpool & Wolverine and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, have followed similar timelines for their transitions to streaming.

For those eager to revisit the evolution of Sam Wilson, several previous Captain America films and key MCU titles should be watched in order. The franchise began with the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger and includes noteworthy entries like Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Endgame.

In anticipation of the home media release, plans are underway for the physical release of Captain America: Brave New World on May 13, 2025. The release will feature 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD formats, along with exclusive editions. Fans should keep an eye out for bonus content, including behind-the-scenes features and a gag reel.
