New Disney Plus movies are set to be a common occurrence in 2025. With Disney set to release a whole host of new movies in theaters and on its primary streaming platform, there'll be plenty for you to watch between now and December 31.
The entertainment giant isn't hanging around with releasing new films on Disney Plus, either. In the US, the first four Indiana Jones movies have made their return to one of the world's best streaming services, so there's no time like the present to rewatch them. If you'd prefer to stream something else, though, our best Disney Plus movies article is full of other top-tier recommendations. For now, read on to learn more about the latest new Disney Plus movies that have arrived since December 13, 2024.
New Disney Plus movies: January 2025
The Indiana Jones movie collection
Release date: January 1 (US only)
Runtimes: 115 minutes to 158 minutes
Age rating: PG to PG-13 (US only)
Directors: Steven Spielberg
Main cast: Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Sean Connery, Kate Capshaw, Denholm Elliot, Ke Huy Quan, Dan Ackroyd, Shia LeBouef, Cate Blanchett, Jon Hurt, and John Rhys Davies
Rotten Tomatoes (RT) score: 77% to 93% (critics); 53% to 96%(audiences)
After departing the platform in 2024, the first four Indiana Jones films are back on Disney Plus, with the quartet joining The Dial of Destiny (it's been available to stream on the service in the US and UK since mid-2024) to complete the collection. In my view, this quadrilogy is absolutely worth watching, too. Raiders of The Lost Ark and Temple of Doom are stone cold classics, while The Last Crusade – which sees Ford's charismatic archaeologist/tomb raider team up with his father Henry (Connery) – is arguably the best entry in the entire franchise. The less said about The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, though, the better. Thanks to this movie series' multi-genre format – it's packed with action, adventure, humor, drama, and even supernatural horror – the Indiana Jones film series will appeal to all ages and genre fans. For me, they make for entertaining viewing, no matter what time of year it is, too. Altogether now... *hums the Indiana Jones theme tune*

New Disney Plus movies: December 2024
Elton John: Never Too Late
Release date: December 13
Runtime: 102 minutes
Age rating: TV-14 (US and UK)
Directors: R.J. Cutler and David Furnish
Cast: Elton John
RT score: 75% (critics); N/A (audiences)
A titan of the music industry, Elton John has finally received a docufilm worthy of his undeniable talents. Filmed as he prepares for his last-ever concert in the US at Dodger Stadium, Never Too Late follows the eponymous singer-songwriter as he looks back at his 50-year career in the spotlight. An intimate and eye-opening documentary, it sees John revisit the highs and lows of his life, including his meteoric rise after bursting onto the scene, and his battle with substance abuse. Based on its largely positive RT critics score, Elton John: Never Too Late is worth your time, especially if you're a John devotee.
