Captain America: Brave New World Showtimes & Streaming

There’s something about watching a new Captain America movie in a theater that still feels like an event — even when the shield has passed to a new hand. Sam Wilson’s first big-screen outing as Captain America hit theaters on February 14, 2025 (Rotten Tomatoes film database), and now that it’s streaming on Disney+, the question isn’t just where to watch — it’s how to make the most of both options. This guide covers showtimes, streaming timing, and what the transition from theaters to home screens means for Marvel fans.

Release date: February 14, 2025 ·
Runtime: 1 hour 58 minutes ·
Director: Julius Onah ·
Disney+ streaming date: April 15, 2025

Six key facts, one pattern: the theatrical-to-streaming window for this Marvel release is tighter than the usual 90-day gap, giving subscribers faster access.

Where can I watch Captain America: Brave New World?

Finding showtimes near you is straightforward — several major chains and ticket platforms list the film, though coverage varies by region.

Theatrical showtimes

• AMC Theatres offers showtimes at its locations nationwide (AMC Theatres)
• Malco Theatres lists showtimes in multiple formats (Malco Theatres)
• Atom Tickets provides a dedicated page for finding tickets near you (Atom Tickets)
• IMDb also aggregates showtimes, though availability may vary by location (IMDb)

Streaming on Disney+

Since April 15, 2025, the film has been available to stream on Disney+ with a subscription (Rotten Tomatoes). Subscribers can watch as many times as they like, and the film is available in 4K HDR where supported.

Digital purchase / rental

As of now, no official digital purchase date has been announced. The film is expected to become available on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Fandango at Home after the streaming window matures. For the latest, check the Disney+ streaming guide.

The pattern: theatrical showtimes are easy to find across multiple services, but digital purchase remains a gap for now.

Is Captain America 4 flop or hit?

Box office performance is a mixed story — domestic numbers are solid, but global data is incomplete.

Box office performance

• The film grossed $200.5 million in the USA per Rotten Tomatoes.
• Worldwide totals are not yet publicly available from the sources at hand.

Critical reception

No aggregated critical score is available from the research sources. Early audience reactions on social media have been divided, but a clear critical consensus has not emerged.

Audience reception

CinemaScore data was not available. The film’s sensory-friendly screenings at AMC indicate that the studio is mindful of accessibility (AMC Theatres sensory-friendly page).

The implication: without fuller numbers, any hit-or-flat judgment remains premature.

Why is Chris Evans not in the new Captain America movie?

Chris Evans’ departure from the MCU

Chris Evans retired the role of Steve Rogers after the events of Avengers: Endgame. The character was given a peaceful ending, and Evans’ contract concluded.

Sam Wilson as the new Captain America

Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson officially takes up the shield. Atom Tickets notes that Mackie “has officially taken up the mantle of Captain America” (Atom Tickets).

Marvel’s narrative transition

The film is part of Marvel Phase 5 and continues the storyline from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series. Harrison Ford steps into the role of President Thaddeus Ross opposite Mackie (AMC Theatres).

What this means: the franchise is evolving, and the new dynamic between Sam Wilson and Thaddeus Ross sets up a future that doesn’t rely on Steve Rogers.
