Want to see if one of this year's many new movies is worth streaming? You'll have to read on to see if it is. So, warm up that scrolling wheel or finger to get the lowdown on the latest films to make their bow on Disney's primary streaming platform.
New Disney+ movies: November
The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Release date: November 5
Runtimes: 114 minutes
Age rating: PG-13 (US); 12+ (UK)

Rotten Tomatoes (RT) score: 86% (critics); 91% (audiences)
The third and final Marvel movie of 2025, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is another very good Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film that didn't perform as well at the box office as many expected. Sure, it's not a perfect watch but, with its all-star cast, period piece setting, world-ending stakes, amazing score, and one of the best chase sequences ever to appear in a superhero flick, it's absolutely worth your time. Check out my review of The Fantastic Four: First Steps to find out more and, once you've seen it, read my Fantastic Four: First Steps ending explained piece to see how it sets up one of the most anticipated Marvel Phase 6 movies in Avengers: Doomsday.
New Disney+ movies: October
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
Release date: October 22 (available on Hulu in the US)
Runtimes: 105 minutes
Age rating: R (US); 16+ (UK)
Director: Michelle Garza Cervera
Main cast: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Maika Monroe, Raul Castillo, and Martin Starr
Rotten Tomatoes (RT) score: 44% (critics); 27% (audiences)
A loose remake of its 1992 namesake, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is a psychological thriller that received mixed reviews from critics and was slammed even harder by general audiences. In it, Winstead's stay-at-home mom hires a new nanny Polly (Monroe) to help care for her newborn baby. Unsurprisingly, Polly isn't who she says she is. Cue a supposedly fright-filled film that flatters to deceive despite Winstead and Monroe doing their best with the material at their disposal. Spooky season or not, leave this one well alone.
