8 Best New Movies Coming To Disney+ In June 2026

Summer is here, and Disney+ is quickly becoming a great choice for movie fans this June. While many people focus on TV shows, Disney+ has a fantastic lineup of movies coming soon, including a major sci-fi series now available to stream, extended versions of beloved classics, highly-rated films from film festivals, and a documentary exploring the music behind a groundbreaking Broadway show.

June’s movie offerings are really diverse. You’ve got big-budget spectacles like James Cameron’s return to Pandora – a film that was a huge box office hit and broke new ground with its visual effects. But there are also smaller, more intimate stories focused on characters, such as Jimpa and Alice and Steve, which rely on strong acting rather than flashy effects. Plus, Disney is tapping into nostalgia by re-releasing extended versions of classics like The X-Files: I Want to Believe and Muppets Most Wanted, giving fans a chance to relive their favorites.

Music lovers have a lot to look forward to as well. The film Kneecap is coming after generating significant buzz as one of the year’s most discussed music biopics. Plus, A Spark Into A Flame: Hamilton & Hip Hop delves into the artists and cultural forces that influenced Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical.

June offers a fantastic selection of movies on Disney+, with something for everyone – from fun family nights to thought-provoking documentaries and big-screen-worthy blockbusters. It’s one of the best movie lineups the platform has had in a while.

Here are the best new movies arriving on Disney+ and the Disney+/Hulu bundle in June 2026.

Kneecap

Available June 2

Early this month brings one of the year’s most talked-about music films: Kneecap. It’s a funny, energetic story about how the Belfast rap group Kneecap got started, and it mixes music with smart observations about politics, making it a truly unique movie experience.

The film Kneecap has been a critical hit, largely because it feels genuine and features the actual band members playing themselves. Even if you’ve never heard their music, you’ll likely enjoy it. It’s a unique blend of music documentary, coming-of-age story, and a tribute to Irish language and culture. Critics have especially praised its ability to handle important topics with a playful, rebellious spirit. For music lovers, it’s easily the best reason to subscribe to Disney+/Hulu this month.

Jimpa

Available June 4

Okay, so I just saw Jimpa, and wow. Sophie Hyde really delivered with this one. It stars Olivia Colman and John Lithgow, and let me tell you, the chemistry is amazing. It’s a really moving, intimate story about family – how we figure out who we are, the gaps between generations, and just how messy those family connections can be. It really stuck with me.

The movie centers on Hannah and her teenage child as they rebuild their relationship with Hannah’s charming father, Jimpa. It’s a moving story about family connections through the years, made even better by outstanding performances from its lead actors. Olivia Colman continues to prove she’s one of the most talented actors around, and John Lithgow brings a lovely warmth and presence, making him ideal for a film about memories, love, and understanding.

Alice And Steve

Available June 8

Every good streaming service needs a comedy that’s delightfully unpredictable, and “Alice and Steve” looks like it’s going to be just that.

The story centers around Alice, who is shocked to discover her best friend is dating her daughter. This sets off a major conflict between them, with Alice frantically trying to break them up before the situation spirals out of control.

Romantic comedies depend on believable connection between the leads, and this film delivers thanks to the great chemistry between its main characters. If you’re looking for a fun and easy watch among all the big summer movies, this could be a really enjoyable surprise.

It Ends With Us

Available June 9

I’ve been hearing so much about Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us – it’s clearly captured everyone’s attention! I was thrilled to see it finally come to Disney+; it feels like a really big deal and one of the most exciting releases this month.

The film, starring Blake Lively as Lily Bloom, tells the story of a woman starting over in Boston and dealing with painful experiences related to love and past relationships. It quickly became a popular topic online, bringing Colleen Hoover’s popular novel to an even larger readership.

No matter how people reacted to the show – whether they enjoyed it or questioned its decisions – it clearly made a big impression on popular culture. Now, with its availability on Hulu and Disney+, viewers have a fresh chance to experience what everyone was discussing.

The X-Files: I Want To Believe – Director’s Cut

Available June 11

The truth is still out there.

Although The X-Files: I Want to Believe wasn’t as critically acclaimed as some of the show’s best-known episodes, it’s gained a loyal fanbase who enjoy its focus on a more personal and suspenseful dynamic between Mulder and Scully.

This Director’s Cut lets you see the movie with extra scenes and a more detailed story. Even over 30 years after it first aired, The X-Files is still a hugely important science fiction show, inspiring series like Lost and Fringe, as well as many other mystery shows that came after it.

Muppets Most Wanted: Unnecessary – Extended Cut

Available June 14

There is a strong argument that every movie becomes better when you add more Muppets.

“Muppets Most Wanted” is one of the funniest Muppet movies in years. It follows Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Animal, and friends on a globe-trotting adventure filled with mix-ups, a stolen jewel, and tons of famous faces making appearances.

The extended cut of “Unnecessary” delivers exactly what fans want: even more of everything they enjoy – more music, more humor, more wildness, and plenty of time with Constantine, the famously dangerous (and frog-like!) character. It proves that sometimes, adding more content is actually a great decision.

A Spark Into A Flame: Hamilton & Hip Hop

Available June 16

As someone who has spent decades covering music, this is the title I’d circle first.

While Hamilton revolutionized Broadway, its popularity built on a history of musical traditions. The documentary A Spark Into A Flame: Hamilton & Hip Hop examines this connection, showing how the musical draws from and honors decades of hip-hop’s creativity and storytelling.

As a huge music fan, I just watched this documentary and it’s incredible! It dives deep into how rap music – the lyrics, the storytelling, the whole culture – actually influenced a massively successful Broadway show. They interviewed legends like Nas, Busta Rhymes, Questlove, and Black Thought, and it really brings everything to life. Honestly, I think it’s going to be one of the best music documentaries of the year – definitely check it out if you love hip-hop or theater!

Avatar: Fire And Ash

Available June 24

Everyone will be talking about Avatar: Fire and Ash this month – it’s the movie to watch!

The third Avatar movie is now available on Disney+ after a very successful run in theaters. It brings viewers back to the world of Pandora and introduces a new group of Na’vi people called the Ash People, marking a major step forward for the series’ storytelling.

More than just a compelling story, Avatar stands out as a groundbreaking achievement in big-budget filmmaking. Director James Cameron consistently leads the way in visual effects innovation, and Fire and Ash proves why the Avatar franchise continues to be a massive box office success.

This Disney+ release is a major event, not just another new show. It has the potential to attract new subscribers, become a huge topic online, and remind everyone how amazing the world of Pandora is.
