8 Best New Movies Coming To Disney+ In September 2026

Published Aug 30, 2026, 8:23 AM EDT Senior Music Editor at Screen Rant, Sarah's love of sound and story drive the beat.

Previously, she carved a space for EDM inside the pages of VIBE, blending electronic and hip-hop culture long before it was trendy. September is shaping up to be a particularly strong month for movies on Disney+. Alongside the streamer's familiar Marvel and Star Wars franchises, the September lineup brings acclaimed animation, an Oscar-winning Quentin Tarantino movie, a Brad Pitt sports drama, and one of the biggest musicals of the last few years. The month's most notable arrival is also its newest. Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu makes its streaming debut after hitting theaters earlier this year, bringing Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin and Grogu back to the platform where their story began. Two of Tom Holland's biggest Spider-Man movies are also joining Disney+ only days later. Disney's official September schedule confirms all three additions. The wider Disney+ app also gives eligible U.S. bundle subscribers access to Hulu titles, which considerably expands September's movie selection. That adds everything from Coraline and Moneyball to Poor Things and Wicked to the month's watchlist. With several major additions landing immediately on September 1, there isn't much reason to wait until later in the month to start watching. Coraline — September 1 There may technically be more than three weeks left before fall begins when Coraline arrives, but September 1 is close enough to start spooky-season viewing. Henry Selick's stop-motion adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel follows Coraline Jones, a bored young girl who discovers a secret passage leading to what initially appears to be a much better version of her life. Of course, anyone familiar with the Other Mother knows how quickly that fantasy goes wrong. Coraline remains gorgeous to look at and genuinely creepy enough that calling it a children's movie has always felt slightly misleading. Laika's painstaking animation also gives the alternate world a tactile quality that CGI would struggle to reproduce, making this an easy early-September rewatch. Inglourious Basterds — September 1 Quentin Tarantino rewrites World War II history with absolutely no interest in subtlety in Inglourious Basterds. Brad Pitt leads a group of Jewish-American soldiers hunting Nazis in occupied France, while Mélanie Laurent plays Shosanna Dreyfus, a cinema owner planning a very different form of revenge against the Third Reich. Yet the movie belongs just as much to Christoph Waltz. His terrifyingly polite performance as SS officer Hans Landa won him the first of his two Academy Awards and gave Tarantino one of his greatest villains. From the agonizing opening interrogation to the wonderfully excessive finale inside a movie theater, Inglourious Basterds remains one of the director's most entertaining films. Moneyball — September 1 You don't need to care about baseball to love Moneyball. Brad Pitt stars as Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane, who realizes his cash-strapped team cannot compete with wealthier franchises by evaluating players the traditional way. He instead teams with Peter Brand, played by Jonah Hill, and begins building a roster around statistical analysis. That sounds suspiciously like the setup for a movie involving lots of spreadsheets, but director Bennett Miller turns it into an absorbing story about challenging a system that has spent decades insisting it knows better. Pitt is effortlessly charismatic without turning Beane into a conventional sports-movie hero, while Hill earned an Oscar nomination for his understated performance. More than a decade later, Moneyball remains one of the rare sports films that works just as well for people who would happily never watch an actual game. Star Wars: The Mandalorian And Grogu — September 2 Din Djarin and Grogu make the jump back to Disney+ on September 2 after becoming the first characters from a Disney+ Star Wars series to lead their own theatrical movie. Pedro Pascal returns as the Mandalorian, with Sigourney Weaver joining the cast as New Republic Colonel Ward. Jon Favreau directs after helping create the characters and overseeing The Mandalorian from the beginning. The movie picks up with the Empire defeated but hardly gone, as scattered Imperial warlords continue creating problems for the New Republic. Critics were somewhat divided on the theatrical outing, but audiences responded much more warmly, and the central attraction remains Din and Grogu themselves. For anyone who enjoyed their smaller-scale Disney+ adventures, having them back on the service feels like an appropriate homecoming. Spider-Man: Far From Home — September 4 Peter Parker desperately wants a vacation in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Unfortunately, taking a school trip through Europe doesn't stop Nick Fury from recruiting him when a supposed new superhero named Quentin Beck arrives with warnings about destructive creatures from another dimension. Jake Gyllenhaal has great fun as Beck, better known to comic readers as Mysterio. The movie also had the unenviable job of following Avengers: Endgame, and it uses Peter's grief over Tony Stark to give the story more weight than the European vacation setup initially suggests. It became the first Spider-Man movie to cross $1 billion worldwide, eventually earning around $1.13 billion. That alone makes its arrival alongside the next movie particularly notable. Spider-Man: No Way Home — September 4 If Far From Home made Peter Parker's life complicated, its sequel completely destroys any possibility of normalcy. After Mysterio reveals Spider-Man's identity to the world, Peter asks Doctor Strange to cast a spell that will make everyone forget. The spell goes spectacularly wrong and begins pulling characters from other universes into his own. That premise allowed No Way Home to bring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield back alongside Tom Holland, turning decades of Spider-Man movie history into part of one enormous adventure based around one of our favorite street-level superheroes. It also became a genuine box-office phenomenon, earning approximately $1.92 billion worldwide across its releases. Even with another Holland Spider-Man now dominating theaters in 2026, No Way Home remains one of the MCU's biggest crowd-pleasers. Poor Things — September 7 Emma Stone won her second Academy Award for Best Actress with Poor Things, and it is easy to understand why. Yorgos Lanthimos' strange fantasy follows Bella Baxter, a woman brought back to life by eccentric surgeon Godwin Baxter, played by Willem Dafoe. As Bella rapidly learns about the world around her, she becomes increasingly determined to experience it on her own terms. The result is funny, explicit, visually bizarre, and unlike almost anything else in the Disney+ September lineup. Mark Ruffalo is especially good as Duncan Wedderburn, who initially assumes Bella will be easy to control before discovering he has badly misjudged her. Poor Things won't be the movie for anyone looking for uncomplicated family viewing, but it is one of the most distinctive Best Picture nominees of the past several years. Wicked — September 21 September saves one of its biggest additions for later in the month. Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba opposite Ariana Grande's Glinda in Wicked, Jon M. Chu's adaptation of the Broadway phenomenon that reimagines the story of Oz long before Dorothy follows the Yellow Brick Road. Erivo and Grande earned Oscar nominations for their performances, but the film's success went far beyond awards season. Wicked grossed approximately $764 million worldwide, turning a stage musical whose first act runs nearly three hours on screen into a genuine blockbuster. With its sequel having since expanded the story, September is an excellent opportunity to revisit how Elphaba and Glinda's complicated friendship began. Release Date November 22, 2024 Runtime 160 Minutes Director Jon M. Chu Cast Cynthia Erivo Elphaba Thropp Writers Gregory Maguire, Winnie Holzman, Dana Fox, L. Frank Baum
