In a new Why to Watch feature on JustWatch, actor Carl Lumbly reflects on the message at
the heart of Captain America: Brave New World (2025), which just arrived to Disney+ on
May 28th, 2025. Returning as Isaiah Bradley,
Lumbly describes the film as not just another
superhero story—but a call to courage

Carl Lumbly, Actor:

“We live in a world that calls us to be brave
every single day… and you have the choice
to stand up or walk away. Captain America:
Brave New World is a movie that encourages
you to stand up wherever you are. While its
story may be larger than life, it’s a deeply
human tale that makes us ask questions
about ourselves.”
