New on Disney Plus in June 2025 — all the new must-watch movies and shows
Summer is nearly here, and Disney Plus is heating up with a new lineup of great movies and shows to celebrate. There's plenty to look forward to that's new on Disney Plus this June, especially if you're a Marvel fan.
Yes, the much-anticipated new Marvel series "Ironheart" — which tells the origin story of genius teen engineer Riri Williams (played by Dominique Thorne) — will finally premiere on the streaming service with its first three episodes in June.
And nature lovers will surely be wowed by a new documentary from a legendary British biologist and broadcaster: "Ocean with David Attenborough" explores both the beauty of the sea and the ways in which humans are depleting its riches.
You can then jet upwards from underwater habitats to outer space itself via another gripping doc, "Sally," which chronicles the pioneering career of astronaut-physicist Sally Ride, the first American woman to blast off into space.
So without further ado, let's dive into everything coming to Disney Plus in June 2025.
The new live-action Marvel series from executive producer Ryan Coogler is set after the events of 2022's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," where Marvel fans first met Riri Williams (Dominque Thorne), a genius MIT engineer who returns to her hometown of Chicago with goals of making her own Iron Man-inspired suit of armor.
Her technological ambitions, however, get Riri entangled with Parker Robbins, also known as "The Hood" (Anthony Ramos), a charming yet mysterious figure with magical powers. Soon, Riri discovers secrets that will pit new tech against old magic.

Along with Williams and Ramos, the cast of the six-part "Ironheart" miniseries includes Lyric Ross as Riri's friend Natalie Washington; Alden Ehrenreich as Joe McGillicuddy; Matthew Elam as Xavier Washington; Anji White as Riri's mom; Manny Montana as Cousin John; and "RuPaul's Drag Race" star Shea Couleé as Slug.

Who better to lead you through the depths of the planet's undersea habitats than the world's leading natural historian, whose new wildlife documentary "Ocean with David Attenborough" will draw on a lifetime of knowledge to reveal how Earth's vast, interconnected waterways can be restored.
Though the visually stunning 95-minute nature film beautifully depicts how we're currently in the most significant age of ocean discovery, it also doesn't shy away from the fact that human interference is one of the sea's biggest challenges.
But things are not without hope, the doc assures: Along with exposing those critical problems, Attenborough and Co. also declare that there's plenty of opportunity for marine life recovery and offer up actionable solutions that can ensure the protection of our most vital resource.

Sally Ride became a national hero in June 1983 when she flew on the Space Shuttle Challenger on the STS-7 mission, becoming the first American woman and third woman ever to fly in space (after cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova in 1963 and Svetlana Savitskaya in 1982).
But though that groundbreaking journey put Ride into history books, it didn't come without personal complications for the astronaut-physicist and her loved ones, a deeply personal story that is uncovered in the 2025 documentary film "Sally".
Directed and produced by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Cristina Costantini, the doc reveals the secret romance and subsequent sacrifices between Ride and her life partner Tam O'Shaughnessy, whose relationship spanned 27 years until Sally's death in 2012 at age 61.
The nearly two-hour film explores how Ride navigated sexism and homophobia within NASA and the public, while also revealing unknown and intimate details of the American icon's private life.

Stream it: The best queer superheroes to inspire and entertain this Pride Month
All over the country, state legislators, school boards and federal agencies are endeavoring to diminish LGBTQ people — both in fiction and everyday life. It's times like this you might wish for a queer person with super-strength and lasers to swoop in and save the day. As we fight on the ground, here are some of the best superheroes with whom to celebrate Pride Month. Rather than have this list be dominated by characters from the two mega-titans of spandex, DC and Marvel, here's a general overview of what each universe has to offer in the way of LGBTQ representation: DC Extended Universe For DC, the animated 'Harley Quinn' series features one of comics' most iconic lesbian relationships, finally done right on television. 'Doom Patrol,' featuring gay hero Negative Man, remains a surrealist masterpiece. Finally, there's 'Peacemaker,' which showrunner James Gunn and star John Cena reimagined as a bisexual antihero. Watch it: All available on Max. Marvel Cinematic Universe The MCU has definitely been getting queerer in recent years. The underrated movie 'Eternals' showed an immortal hero living a quiet life with his husband and son. Cunning antihero Loki is canonically bisexual and genderfluid as well as the best time-travelling hero this side of 'Doctor Who' in the titular series. Then there's 'Agatha All Along,' which gave us the iconic line 'if you want a straight answer, ask a straight lady.' 'Miraculous' (2015) The French animated series 'Miraculous,' about Parisian teens who use magical jewels to fight crime as costumed heroes, is both a cult hit and a fantastic example of queer representation. From the rainbow-powered character Wishmaker to the unrequited crush of Vesperia on main character Ladybug, the show manages to competently contain a full gamut of real-world queer experiences in an affirming way. Watch it: Streaming on Disney+. 'Code Name: Dynastud' (2018) Not everything needs to be family-friendly and inspirational. In this raunchy comedy directed by Richard Griffin, a radical right-wing government has outlawed homosexuality. Luckily, a farm boy with some unprintable superpowers is off to save the day with jokes and an intolerance for intolerance. This film is pure schlock, but as a combination of revenge fantasy and satire of toxic machismo, it's definitely a fun time. Watch it: Steaming on Tubi. 'Surge of Power: The Stuff of Heroes' (2004) The entire ' Surge of Power ' franchise is a gift to the genre of camp. Real-life corporate attorney Vincent J. Roth plays fictional corporate attorney Gavin Lucas, the alter-ego of openly gay superhero Surge, who battles both crime and homophobia. This was a groundbreaking indie film in 2004, made after the rebirth of the genre but long before the media juggernaut of the MCU. It would be 13 years before 'Power Rangers' would put the first queer hero on the big screen, but Roth kept making 'Surge of Power' sequels and pop culture crossovers with other franchises.
