New movies streaming this week: 'Captain America: Brave New World' and 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie' now available
Porky Pig and Daffy Duck are back. In The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, the duo (and a few other familiar friends) return to the big screen thanks to Ketchup Entertainment after Warner Bros., the longtime steward of the iconic characters, chose to sell off the film rather than distribute it themselves. The new Looney Tunes movie is just one of several newly available to stream this week, including Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World, starring Anthony Mackie as the titular hero and Harrison Ford as the president of the United States. Eephus, a quietly profound indie gem about baseball that is ultimately about life itself, is now available at home, as is the English-language debut of acclaimed Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, The Room Next Door, starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, which heads to Netflix on Saturday. The Order, an underrated based-on-true-events thriller with an A-list cast including the likes of Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult, makes its way to Hulu. Here's what to know about the movies newly available to stream as of this week, and where you can find them. Click on the links below to jump straight to a specific movie:Marvel's latest Captain America movie was the highest-grossing movie of 2025, until A Minecraft Movie dethroned it faster than you can say 'chicken jockey'! In the film, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie, sporting the superhero's suit and shield) finds himself in the middle of an international incident after meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford). He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red. Harrison Ford turning into Red Hulk was the centerpiece of the film's marketing campaign, which is a real shame considering the movie treats it as a late reveal, and most of the audience is likely already aware that's what's happening. That means that for most of the movie, it's just Ford taking pills to stop from Hulking out, which isn't very exciting to watch. It's also a bizarre artifact in terms of how it fits into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe — not only is it a stealth sequel to 2008's The Incredible Hulk, but it also requires you to have watched the Disney+ series The Falcon & Winter Soldier to fully grasp who some of the key characters are. The final product is poorly assembled and visually muddled, but fans of the MCU who missed it in theaters and want to stay up-to-date ahead of Thunderbolts* now have their chance. How to watch: Captain America: Brave New World is now available to rent or purchase on Prime Video and other video-on-demand platforms. Rent or buy The Day the Earth Blew Up is the first-ever feature-length movie in the 96-year history of Looney Tunes that is 100% animated. Every other Looney Tunes movie has a live-action element; think Space Jam or Brendan Fraser in Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, the classic animated odd couple, star in the film and turn into unlikely heroes when their antics at the local bubble gum factory uncover a secret alien mind control plot. Against all odds, the two are determined to save their town, and the world, if they don't drive each other crazy first. Both kids and adults are likely to find it funny throughout, and the stunningly beautiful hand-drawn animation will make you wish more kids fare looked more like this. How to watch:The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is now available to rent or purchase on Prime Video and other video-on-demand platforms. Rent or buy The Order might be the best movie you haven't heard of 2024, and it's finally easily available to watch. Based on the chilling true story, the movie follows veteran FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) as a string of violent robberies in the Pacific Northwest lead him to discover a white supremacist plot to overthrow the federal government. It's gripping from the start and never lets up, features terrific performances from some of its leads as well as all the recognizable actors in supporting roles. It deftly mines a ripped-from-the-headlines story from a different era for the elements that make it relevant today. It's as bleak as it is thrilling, so be forewarned. But if you're into police procedurals or movies about manhunts, this is a great one to put on your list! The Order is now streaming on Hulu. Stream on Hulu An 'eephus" is one of the rarest pitches thrown in baseball, known for its exceptionally low speed and ability to catch a hitter off guard. Typically, an eephus is thrown high in the air, resembling the trajectory of a slow-pitch softball toss. As a character in the movie describes it, it's a pitch that feels like it goes on forever yet somehow is still gone too fast. Sound familiar? Eephus is movie about baseball that functions as just a pure love letter to the sport but also as a metaphor for life and the bitter end of the things that we love. As an imminent construction project looms over a beloved small-town baseball field, a pair of New England rec-league teams face off for the last time. Tensions flare and laughs are shared as an era of camaraderie and escapism fades into an uncertain future. It's a movie that's both celebrating and mourning the end of an era, as these men are set to lose what binds them together. It's a hangout movie not concerned with plot, quietly profound and powerful, and if you weren't romantic about baseball beforehand, you might just be afterward. Eephus is now available to rent or purchase on Prime Video and other video-on-demand platforms. Rent or buy Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton star in The Room Next Door, Pedro Almodóvar's first English-language film It follows Ingrid and Martha, who were close friends in their youth when they worked together at the same magazine. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation: When Martha faces the prospect of her life ending due to terminal illness, she turns to Ingrid to ask for a not so simple favor. It's a movie about accepting death featuring two characters with different views on the subject, and the uniquely human quality of having the ability to make choices in life. It's a beautifully crafted knockout that will sneak up on you if you let it, though some may bristle at the odd intonation and pacing of the dialogue. There's a poetry to the language, though, and there are some undeniably moving sections and the usual Almodóvarian bright, colorful imagery. Fans of his won't want to miss it, even if it never reaches the highs of some of his previous works. The Room Next Door starts streaming April 19 on Netflix. Stream on Netflix Bonus: Wolf Man is now available on Peacock, and Companion, which I recommended a few weeks ago, is now on Max.

Warner Bros. sells ‘Coyote vs. Acme' to Ketchup Entertainment, sets 2026 release
Warner Bros. Discovery has officially sold the Looney Tunes film Coyote vs. Acme to Ketchup Entertainment for $50 million, securing its long-awaited 2026 theatrical release. The sale marks a turnaround after Warner Bros. initially shelved the movie for a tax write-off, a move that previously affected projects like Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt. Ketchup Entertainment, which recently distributed The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, will now oversee Coyote vs. Acme's theatrical rollout. The live-action/animated hybrid stars Will Forte and John Cena, with Dave Green (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows) directing. The film follows Wile E. Coyote suing Acme Corporation after years of failed products in his pursuit of the Road Runner. Produced by Chris deFaria and James Gunn, the movie's screenplay comes from Samy Burch, known for May December. Despite selling Coyote vs. Acme, Warner Bros. Discovery continues its content removals, recently pulling classic Looney Tunes shorts from Max around the time The Day the Earth Blew Up hit theaters. With its confirmed 2026 release, Coyote vs. Acme is now set to become a theatrical Looney Tunes comeback, offering fans a fresh take on Wile E. Coyote's misadventures.
