Captain America: Brave New World premieres on JioHotstar in India on May 28, 2025.
Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, navigating global conspiracies.

Following a successful box office run, Captain America: Brave New World is arriving on OTT. Marvel Studios’ latest hit, and first full feature with Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America, will be released digitally on May 28, 2025. In India, audiences can watch the blockbuster on JioHotstar.
The movie represents a turning point within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), leading to a new era of storytelling after the Infinity Saga. The torch, or, in this instance, the shield, has passed officially from Steve Rogers to Sam Wilson. This presents a new, daring, and timely narrative that delves into contemporary heroism against the backdrop of political animosity and international stakes.
India Streaming Platform: JioHotstar
Global Streaming Platform: Disney+
OTT Release Date: May 28, 2025
Although the film was temporarily released for premium video-on-demand on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+. However, it is not available in India. Official streaming rights are with Disney+, Indian Marvel enthusiasts can watch the movie via a JioHotstar subscription.
The development further enhances Disney’s digital rollout strategy as the company continues to unify its global and regional audiences under a single content ecosystem.
In the post-The Falcon and the Winter Soldier era, Captain America: Brave New World centers around Sam Wilson as the new wielder of the legendary shield. But taking Steve Rogers’ place has its drawbacks, both internal and external.
Sam is called in by President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford) to handle what seems to be a diplomatic crisis at first. But the more he investigates, the more it is apparent that a sinister international plot is in the works. The more the plot thickens, the more the movie expertly interweaves Marvel’s old-style action excitement with observations on various worldly problems.
This fourth Captain America feature has an all-star cast, bringing together legacy stars along with new talent:
Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Captain America
Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross
Liv Tyler reprising Betty Ross
Tim Blake Nelson as The Leader
Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres
Giancarlo Esposito in a new, enigmatic role
Shira Haas as the Israeli superhero Sabra
The movie is written and directed by Julius Onah and sets the stage for many future Marvel productions, both on Disney+ and in film.
With Brave New World, Marvel Studios has set the tone clearly: the mantle of Captain America is not only about super-soldier serum but about leadership by example in an ever-changing geopolitical scene. Sam Wilson’s journey has just started.
Rumors in the industry indicate possible spin-offs of major supporting players such as Torres, who is likely to take on Falcon’s mantle, and the probable comeback of The Leader in larger MCU narratives. Marvel chief Kevin Feige has, in the meantime, teased that Brave New World is ‘central’ to the unfolding multiverse narrative of the MCU.
There’s also a rumor that Sam might be a key figure in future crossover events such as Avengers: Secret Wars, or even a fresh reboot of The Avengers. With the grounded but high-stakes tone of the movie, Marvel seems to be using Sam’s Captain America to anchor future political thrillers and Earth-based tales.
Captain America: Brave New World isn’t simply another superhero movie; it’s a franchise cultural shift. With Anthony Mackie’s strong performance and Marvel’s signature blend of action, emotion, and story size, the movie hits on many levels.
If you missed it in theatres or just wish to live it again, with Sam Wilson’s ascension as the new hope symbol, May 28 is your day. Simply log on to JioHotstar and watch Marvel’s newest venture from the comfort of your home.
