April has arrived, bringing a wave of exciting releases to Disney+ subscribers. Leading the pack is “Mufasa: The Lion King,” a prequel to the 2019 classic, set to premiere on the streaming platform on April 11, poised to captivate fans with the origin story of the legendary savanna king. Beyond the film, the service is rolling out series like “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” and “Marvel’s What If…? – Season 3,” enriching its lineup with a blend of adventure, fantasy, and animation. The month also features titles such as “Wish” and “Iwájú,” adding diverse options for viewers of all ages.
“Mufasa: The Lion King” stands out as one of 2025’s most anticipated releases. Directed by Barry Jenkins, the film delves into Mufasa’s youth and his path to becoming the ruler of the Pride Lands. Boasting a stellar voice cast, including Aaron Pierre as Mufasa and Beyoncé returning as Nala, this production merges live-action and animation to weave a tale of bravery and legacy. Following a blockbuster theatrical run in December 2024, grossing over 700 million dollars worldwide, the movie now lands on Disney+ to reach an even broader audience.
The April slate extends beyond Mufasa. “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” debuting on April 8, offers a space-faring adventure starring Jude Law and a group of kids lost in the galaxy, while “Marvel’s What If…? – Season 3,” arriving on April 11, explores alternate realities of the Marvel universe in animated form. Films like “Wish,” launched on April 3, and the animated series “Iwájú,” hitting the platform on April 10, bring lightness and cultural flair, spanning fairy tales to futuristic Nigerian stories.

Mufasa: an origin unveiled
“Mufasa: The Lion King” hitting Disney+ marks a milestone for franchise fans. The film uncovers the early years of the iconic character, spotlighting his childhood alongside his brother Scar, voiced by Kelvin Harrison Jr., and the events shaping his leadership. Narrated by Rafiki, the story blends tender and tense moments, backed by a soundtrack crafted by Lin-Manuel Miranda that’s already generating buzz. Retaining the photorealistic style of the 2019 remake, this prequel adds a deeper emotional layer focused on family and sacrifice.
Its theatrical run saw it rake in over 717 million dollars in under a month, underscoring the Lion King universe’s enduring appeal. Barry Jenkins, acclaimed for “Moonlight,” infuses the project with a personal touch, balancing Disney’s grandeur with an intimate narrative. On Disney+, the film arrives with subtitles and dubbing in multiple languages, including Portuguese, making it accessible to Brazilian viewers who packed theaters last December to witness Mufasa’s tale on the big screen.
Galactic thrills with Skeleton Crew
Set to launch on April 8, “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” promises to take Star Wars fans to uncharted corners of the galaxy. Featuring Jude Law as the enigmatic Jod Na Nawood, the series follows four kids who, stranded on a remote planet, embark on a quest to find their way home. With a mix of humor and action, it’s likened to classics like “The Goonies,” but infused with Star Wars flair—think starships, droids, and exotic creatures.
Directed by talents like Jon Watts of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and the Russo Brothers of “Avengers: Endgame,” the series kicks off with its first two episodes on April 8, followed by weekly releases of the remaining six through May. It’s sparking excitement for its lighter, adventure-driven take on the franchise, appealing to die-hard lightsaber fans and newcomers alike.
Marvel’s multiverse twists
On April 11, “Marvel’s What If…? – Season 3” returns with its animated exploration of parallel universes. Guided by the Watcher, the series poses questions like “What if Tony Stark turned villain?” or “What if the Avengers never formed?” Featuring voices from MCU stars like Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson, this season keeps its vivid visual style while diving into bolder, more thrilling tales, with episodes dropping daily until April 18.
The show is a proven hit on Disney+. Its debut season in 2021 earned an Emmy nod, and the 2023 follow-up kept viewers hooked with creative twists. This third installment aims to cap a trilogy of alternate stories, spotlighting lesser-seen characters and surprising crossovers, like a steampunk Captain America episode. It’s a must-watch for Marvel fans craving something beyond live-action films.
Wish and Iwájú: a cultural mix
Available since April 3, “Wish” is an animated celebration of Disney’s 100-year legacy. The film follows Asha, a young girl whose wish to a magical star sparks a whimsical adventure filled with music and humor. Voiced by Ariana DeBose, with songs by Julia Michaels, it echoes classics like “The Little Mermaid” while offering a fresh spin that’s delighted families globally since its 2023 theatrical debut.
“Iwájú,” arriving on April 10, is a Disney collaboration with Nigeria’s Kugali. Set in a futuristic Lagos, this animated series tracks Tola and Kole, friends navigating a high-tech yet unequal world. Its six episodes blend sci-fi and coming-of-age themes, showcasing African culture with vibrant visuals—a first-of-its-kind partnership for Disney’s streaming slate.
