New Disney+ movies: coming soon
Unfortunately, no more new Disney+ movies are set to arrive on the platform before the end of 2025.
Of course, if anything changes, I'll update this section. As of December 5, though, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Final Straw is the last film that'll drop on the service before we bid farewell to the year that was.
