Better Man (2024)


Release Date: January 17, 2025
Director: Michael Gracey
Starring: Robbie Williams, Steve Pemberton, Damon Herriman, Kate Mulvany, Alison
Steadman



Micheal Gracey, director of The Greatest Showman, takes the reins in a biopic
about UK musician Robbie Williams, who stars as himself. The film is an original
musical based on the life and career experiences of Williams, exploring his
ascent to stardom from boy-band beginnings to unprecedented success as a solo
artist. Paramount secured rights to a North American release for the project off
the heels of Gracey’s smash hit Showman, showing belief in the project’s story
and box office legs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In The Grey (2025)


Release Date: January 17, 2025
Director: Guy Ritchie
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill, Eiza Gonzalez, Rosamund Pike, Fisher
Stevens



Jake Gyllenhaal, hot off Prime Video’s Road House, repurposes the tough-guy
attitude in a new action thriller directed by Guy Ritchie. Gyllenhall previously
starred in Ritchie’s war thriller, Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, and will team up
with Henry Cavill and Eiza Gonzalez, who reunite after Ritchie’s The Ministry of
Ungentlemanly Warfare. Together, the three form a gang of badasses determined to
rescue billions stolen from them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------









Wolf Man (2025)


Directed by: Leigh Whannell
Starring: Julia Garner, Christopher Abbott
Opening on: January 17, 2025



It’s still a bit early to speculate too much about this film, but Universal’s
next classic monster reboot comes courtesy of the director who brought us the
surprise 2020 hit The Invisible Man, namely Leigh Whannell. We do know that
Julia Garner and Christopher Abbott have signed on to star, but that’s about it.
If Whannell can bring the same kind of flair that made The Invisible Man a
runaway success, we can expect good things.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Mickey 17 (2025)


Release Date: January 31, 2025
Director: Bong Joon-ho
Starring: Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Steven
Yeun



South Korean director Bong Joon-ho follows up his Academy Award-winning film
Parasite with this adaptation of the sci-fi novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton.
Robert Pattinson stars as a disposable employee — one whose body is regenerated
with previous memories intact every time he dies — on a mission to colonize a
distant world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FEBRUARY

Captain America: Brave New World (2025)


Release Date: February 14, 2025
Director: Julius Onah
Starring: Anthony Mackie, Tim Blake Nelson, Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, Danny
Ramirez, and Shira Haas



Sam Wilson, the superhero formerly known as The Falcon, took on Cap’s mantle in
the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and now he’s ready for the
big screen. Tim Blake Nelson, who played the character who becomes the Marvel
villain known as The Leader, will reprise the role first teased in The
Incredible Hulk and seemingly forgotten about until now. Harrison Ford will also
star, stepping into the role of Thaddeus Ross following the death of William
Hurt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Smurfs Movie (2025) (2025)


Release Date: February 14, 2025
Director: Chris Miller
Starring: Rihanna, Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, Dan Levy, Nick Kroll, James
Corden, Octavia Spencer, Hannah Waddingham, Kurt Russell, John Goodman



The Smurfs are returning to the big screen, this time in musical format. One of
several Smurf-inspired feature films in development, this particular renewal of
the blue creatures will star Rihanna as the voice of Smurfette. Rihanna is also
a producer on the film and announced at CinemaCon 2023 that she will write and
perform new original songs for the project. In April of 2024, a vast ensemble
cast was announced, including Nick Offerman, Octavia Spencer, Kurt Russell, and
more.

MARCH

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Sinners (2025)


Release Date: March 7, 2025
Director: Ryan Coogler
Starring: Micheal B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfield, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku,
Delroy Lindo



Ryan Coogler and Micheal B. Jordan have proven to be a winning duo in critically
acclaimed films such as Fruitvale Station (2013) and big franchises like Creed
and Black Panther – the latter of which has generated a record-shattering $2.1
billion at the box office with only two films. Despite the plot details being
kept tightly under wraps, the pair will return for a feature that is being
produced by two-time Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson with Rebecca Cho
and Will Greenfield. Coogler is known for innovative storytelling that speaks to
a diverse range of moviegoers, and his work is no stranger to big-ticket award
nominations, so his newest project comes with understandably high expectations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Black Bag (2025)


Release Date: March 14, 2025
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Starring: Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Regé-Jean Page, Marisa Abela,
Naomie Harris, Tom Burke, Pierce Brosnan



Suspense and mystery meet in an upcoming spy drama from Academy Award winner
Steven Soderbergh. In the absence of major plot details, Black Bag will star
Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender with writing from David Koepp, who penned
Jurassic Park (1993). The high-stakes film is being produced by Casey Silver and
Greg Jacobs and will premiere in mid-March 2025.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Disney's Snow White (2025)


Release Date: March 21, 2025
Director: Marc Webb
Starring: Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot, and Andrew Burnap



Although critics haven’t been kind to most of Disney’s live-action remakes of
their classic animated films, they’ve been a hit with moviegoers at the box
office, which might explain why Snow White is getting the same treatment some 87
years after the original 1937 cartoon came out. West Side Story’s Rachel Zegler
stars as Snow White, with Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot playing the Evil Queen,
while The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb at the helm and a script
co-written by Gerta Gerwig.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Alto Knights (2025)


Release Date: March 21, 2025
Director: Barry Levinson
Starring: Robert De Niro, Cosmo Jarvis, Debra Messing, Kathrine Narducci



Robert De Niro plays a dual role in this Barry Levinson film as two notorious
Italian American mob bosses: Vito Genovese and Frank Castello. The pair run two
separate crime families that inevitably collide as the power-hungry crime bosses
fight for dominance in mid-20th century New York. The film was the first project
greenlit by Warner Bros.’ new film group chiefs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


APRIL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





A Minecraft Movie (2025)


Release Date: April 4, 2025
Director: Jared Hess
Starring: Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Emma
Myers, Matt Berry, Sebastian Eugene Hansen



The hit video game Minecraft is being transformed into a live-action movie. Plot
details are still being kept under wraps, but since the world-building,
survival-mode video game has never really been about the story, the
possibilities for the film are endless. Jason Momoa and Jennifer Coolidge will
star in the film, though we’re not sure yet about the details of their
characters. Characters we do know of include Steve (Jack Black), Dawn (Danielle
Brooks), and Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Michael (2025)


Release Date: April 18, 2025
Director: Antoine Fuqua
Starring: Jaafar Jackson, Nia Long, Colman Domingo, Laura Harrier, Larenz Tate



Take out your red leather jackets and sequin-covered gloves and prepare to
moonwalk into theaters and witness Antoine Fuqua’s Michael. Detailing the life
of the man, myth, and music legend Michael Jackson (Jaafar Jackson), this biopic
invites viewers to witness the personal woes that came along with the global
success of the late hitmaker. With performances from Nia Long, Colman Domingo,
Laura Harrier, and Larenz Tate, the story of the King of Pop is slated to grace
big screens in mid-April 2025.

Director: Jake Schreier
Starring: David Harbour, Hannah John-Karmen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sebastian
Stan, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Florence Pugh, Harrison Ford

Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster (Olga
Kurylendko), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), and Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, played
by Harrison Ford, who will make his debut as the character in Captain America:
Brave New World.

Release Date: May 23, 2025
Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Starring: Tom Cruise, Haley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Ving Rhames, Pom
Klementieff, Esai Morales



Tom Cruise is back in action as Ethan Hunt in what was originally supposed to be
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part Two (the official title hasn’t yet been
revealed). After Hunt retrieved both keys at the end of Dead Reckoning, the new
film will focus on his mission to find the lost Sevastopol submarine while
stopping the Entity, an AI program. Haley Atwell (Grace), Simon Pegg (Benji),
Vanessa Kirby (Alanna), Ving Rhames (Luther), Pom Klementieff (Paris), and Esai
Morales (Gabriel) are slated to return for the eighth installment in the
franchise. New additions to the cast include Hannah Waddingham, Holt McCallany,
Nick Offerman, Janet McTeer, and Lucy Tulugarjuk.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Karate Kid (2025)


Release Date: May 30, 2025
Director: Jonathan Entwhistle
Starring: Jackie Chan, Ming-Na Wen, Joshua Jackson, Ralph Macchio



The popular Netflix series Cobra Kai has helped keep the iconic ‘80s martial
arts franchise alive and kicking in the popular consciousness, and in 2024 Sony
will head back to the IP dojo with a new installment. Originally thought to be
unconnected to the original films or the Netflix show, a casting call
announcement revealed that Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan would star alongside
each other in the new film as their characters Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Han. Few
other details have been revealed, except that Ming-Na Wen and Joshua Jackson are
among the co-stars.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


JUNE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Ballerina (2025)


Release Date: June 6, 2025
Director: Len Wiseman
Starring: Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, Norman Reedus,
Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno



The first spin-off film of the John Wick universe stars Ana de Armas as one of
the female assassins trained by the Ruska Roma, the criminal organization headed
by Anjelica Huston’s “Director” and glimpsed in John Wick: Chapter 3 –
Parabellum. Details are thin so far, but we know it will be another revenge
tale, and we know that it will be set specifically between the events of Chapter
3 and Chapter 4, so Keanu Reeves and his Continental cohort will also appear.

Elio (2025)


Release Date: June 13, 2025
Director: Adrian Molina
Starring: America Ferrera, Yonas Kibreab, Jameela Jamil, Brad Garrett



Announced in 2022, Pixar’s 28th feature film (following 2023’s Elemental) will
focus on an 11-year-old boy (named Elio, of course) who is inadvertently beamed
up into space and is mistaken to be an ambassador for Earth on another planet.
It will be the directorial debut for Adrian Molina, who previously worked on
Pixar films like Coco, Toy Story 4, and Luca.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



How to Train Your Dragon (2025)


Release Date: June 13, 2025
Director: Dean DeBlois
Starring: Mason Thames, Nico Parker, Gerad Butler, Ruth Codd



Dean DeBlois, creator of the animated How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, is
bringing Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless, and friends to life in a live-action
reimagining. The original film was a coming-of-age story that follows young
Hiccup from childhood to adulthood, but the plot of the live-action adaptation
will focus in on Hiccup’s first meeting with Toothless, a friendly dragon he
can’t bear to kill, even if it means breaking tradition in his village of Berk,
home of Vikings and dragon slayers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



28 Years Later (2025)


Release Date: June 20, 2025
Director: Danny Boyle
Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell



After releasing one of the zombie genre’s most iconic films in 28 Days Later and
then handing the reins to Juan Carlos Fresnadillo for its sequel, 28 Weeks
Later, Danny Boyle returns to the director’s chair to direct the third film in
the series. Boyle also co-wrote 28 Years Later with original scribe Alex Garland
— even more reason to get excited for this one — and has assembled a cast that
includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



M3GAN 2.0 (2025)


Release Date: June 27, 2025
Director: Gerard Johnstone
Starring: Allison Williams, Jenna Davis, Violet McGraw, Amie Donald



Director Gerard Johnstone of M3GAN is slated to return behind the camera for the
sci-fi horror film’s sequel. Although plot details are still being kept under
wraps, producer James Wan hinted that M3GAN 2.0 will pick up from the end of the
first film and explore the consequences of what happens when AI robots connect
to devices in people’s homes. Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are confirmed
to star as Gemma and Cady again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





F1 (2025)


Release Date: June 27, 2025
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Starring: Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies,
Shea Whigham



Warner Bros., Apple Original Films, and Dawn Apollo Entertainment, led by
seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton, are revving up their
engines to transport audiences into the world of F1 racing. The upcoming film
features an all-star, hardware-heavy ensemble with the likes of Brad Pitt,
Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzies. Directed by
Joseph Kosinski, known for blockbusters like Tron: Legacy and Top Gun: Maverick,
the picture follows Pitt as a former racer who is persuaded to come out of
retirement to mentor a new driving prodigy (Idris). The film was shot during
actual Grand Prix weekends and is being developed with input from the Formula 1
community and its race promoters.

Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)


Release Date: July 2, 2025
Director: Gareth Edwards
Starring: Scarlett Johanson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend,
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo



The larger-than-life dinosaur phenomenon that is the Jurassic franchise is
returning to screens with new life. Though uncovering any plot details has been
about as difficult as unearthing dino fossils, the latest installment is
executive produced by Steven Spielberg, and it features an all-star ensemble
that includes Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey. Gareth
Edwards of Godzilla (2014) directs, and David Koepp, who penned the original
Jurassic Park, returns as a writer on the new film.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Superman (2025)


Release Date: July 11, 2025
Director: James Gunn
Starring: David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Edi
Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nicholas Hoult



DC Studios CEO James Gunn is directing, writing, and producing the latest reboot
of Superman, bringing it into the new generation of a connected DC Cinematic
Universe. The film will not be an origin story, but will focus on Lois Lane and
Clark Kent. To the dismay of many Superman fans, Henry Cavill will not be
returning to play the superhero — instead, David Corenswet will take on the
role, playing a younger, more optimistic Superman to counter Cavill’s grittier
rendition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)


Release Date: July 25, 2025
Director: Matt Shakman
Starring: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn



The Fantastic Four are coming back for a third time, 20 years after the initial
theatrical debut of Marvel’s First Family and 10 years after the ill-fated
reboot. This iteration joins the MCU as part of the Multiverse Saga, skipping
the team’s origin story and setting up future crossover events, potentially into
the next Avengers movie. Not much else is known about the film, except the main
cast: Pedro Pascal plays Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby plays Sue Storm, Joseph
Quinn plays Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach plays Ben Grimm,
while WandaVision and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters director Matt Shakman takes
the helm.

The Bad Guys 2 (2025)
Release Date: August 1, 2025
Director: Pierre Perifel
Starring: Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Awkwafina,
Zazie Beetz

Considering The Bad Guys (2022) saw huge commercial success at the box office
and on streaming, it’s no surprise that Dreamworks and Universal are doing a
sequel. This time around, the Bad Guys grapple with crime-free life as Good Guys
when they are confronted by an all-female squad of criminals who prompt them out
of retirement for a final hurrah. Mr. Wolf (Sam Rockwell), Mr. Snake (Marc
Maron), Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson), Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos), and Ms.
Tarantula (Awkwafina) will all reprise their roles as the main cast with Pierre
Perifel returning to direct and Damon Ramos producing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Movie (2025)
Release Date: August 8, 2025
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris,
Alana Haim, Chase Infiniti

Directed, written, and produced by Paul Thomas Anderson, this untitled film will
be his 10th narrative feature and the first to be released in IMAX. Not much
else is known besides its all-star cast. Since Anderson’s breakout feature
Boogie Nights, he has collected 11 total Oscar nominations as a producer,
writer, and director, but he’s never won, and who knows, perhaps this will be
the title that brings home the hardware.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Animal Friends (2025)


Release Date: August 15, 2025
Director: Peter Atencio
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Aubrey Plaza, Jason Momoa, Vince Vaughn, Dan Levy,
Addison Rae



We don’t know much about the plot of this film, but we do know that it’s
directed by Peter Atencio (Keanu, The Machine) and it’s a live-action/animated
hybrid starring the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Aubrey Plaza, and Jason Momoa, among
others. There are also presumably going to be animated animals involved, but we
don’t yet know who will appear as themselves in the film, and who will be
voicing animated characters.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thread: An Insidious Tale (2025)
Release Date: August 29, 2025
Director: Jeremy Slater
Starring: Mandy Moore, Kumail Nanjiani

Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani are slated to star in the sixth installment of
Blumhouse’s horror franchise Insidious. Garnering a collective $750 million in
box office revenue worldwide, the Insidious movies center on otherworldly beings
that seek to terrorize the world of the living, often resulting in gut-wrenching
ramifications. Beginning in 2010, the film series has gained a cult-like
following with the most recent installment, Insidious: The Red Door (2023),
scoring $189M worldwide at the box office.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SEPTEMBER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Saw XI (2025)


Release Date: September 26, 2025
Director: Kevin Greutert
Starring: TBA



Not only did 2023’s Saw X bring Tobin Bell’s John Kramer back, the prequel also
managed to earn the best reviews of the franchise by a wide margin. Originally
scheduled for a September, 2024 release, Saw XI was rumored to pick up where Saw
X left off, at least according to producer Oren Koules. We don’t know if that’s
still the case, but we do know that Kevin Greutert will return to direct and try
to achieve the same success he managed with the last film.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


OCTOBER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bride! (2025)
Release Date: October 3, 2025
Director: Maggie Gyllenhaal
Starring: Christian Bale, Jesse Buckley, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening,
Penelope Cruz

A new Frankenstein film is being brought to life, this time through a female
lens. In this remake by Maggie Gyllenhaal of 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein, a
murdered young woman in 1930s Chicago is reborn again at the hands of
Frankenstein (Christian Bale) and Dr. Euphronius. The Bride becomes not only
Frankenstein’s romantic companion, but the subject of police scrutiny and the
leader of a radical social movement.

TRON: Ares (2025)


Release Date: October 10, 2025
Director: Joachim Rønning
Starring: Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Cameron Monaghan, Evan Peters, Gillian
Anderson, Jodie-Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Hasan Minhaj, Jeff Bridges



What happens when the lines are blurred between the grid and the real world? In
this new installment of the iconic sci-fi series, Ares (Jared Leto) plays a
highly sophisticated A.I. computer program that crosses over into the human
world on a dangerous mission. Though many plot details are still unknown, the
setting seems to focus mostly on the real world rather than the grid that fans
remember from Tron and Tron: Legacy. Though the cast is mostly comprised of new
characters, it has been announced that Jeff Bridges will appear in the film,
though we don’t know if he will be portraying Kevin Flynn or Clu.

The Black Phone 2 (2025)
Release Date: October 17, 2025
Director: Scott Derrickson
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, Miguel
Mora

The original cast of the hit 2022 horror thriller film The Black Phone will star
again in the sequel. The plot is still under wraps, but the first movie tells
the story of Finney Shaw (Mason Thames), a young boy abducted by the “Raggedy
Man” (Ethan Hawke), a sinister serial killer. Locked in a soundproof basement,
Finney discovers an old, disconnected telephone that allows him to communicate
with the spirits of Raggedy Man’s previous victims. Finney must rely on their
guidance to outsmart his captor and escape before becoming the next victim. The
Black Phone 2 is the ninth feature collaboration between Blumhouse CEO Jason
Blum, who is producing the film, and Hawke.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mortal Kombat 2 (2025)
Release Date: October 24, 2025
Director: Simon McQuoid
Starring: Hiroyuki Sanada, Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Karl Urban, Tadanobu
Asano, Mehcad Brooks

The 2021 reboot of the video game adaptation Mortal Kombat wasn’t a huge hit
with critics, but it earned enough of a following that it has now spawned a
sequel. Lewis Tan (Cole Young), Jessica McNamee (Sonya), Mehcad Brooks (Jax),
and Shogun co-stars Hiroyuki Sanada (Scorpion) and Tadanobu Asano (Raiden) all
return to reprise their roles from the first film, while Karl Urban joins the
cast as Johnny Cage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOVEMBER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Blade (2025)


Release Date: November 7, 2025
Director: TBA
Starring: Mahershala Ali



This Blade reboot wraps up the MCU’s 2025 theatrical slate, bringing the
Daywalker back — without Wesley Snipes. Mahershala Ali will play the superhero
in the new rendition, marking a total revamp (pun unintended) of the franchise.
Ali’s voice as Eric Brooks has already made an appearance in the post-credits
scene of 2021’s Eternals, hinting a possible connection between the two films.
Unfortunately, the film has been stuck in development hell, already losing two
directors, so we’ll have to wait for more details

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now You See Me 3 (2025)
Release Date: November 14, 2025
Director: Ruben Fleischer
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Morgan
Freeman, Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt, Rosamund Pike

Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco are set to
reprise their roles as thieving illusionists in a third addition to the Now You
See Me franchise, alongside Morgan Freeman. Not much is known about the plot of
the newest film, but if past entries are any indication, audiences can expect a
whole lot of magic, robbery, and making a run for it. Directed by Ruben
Fleischer, the Lionsgate film will see a mid-November 2025 release.

Wicked: Part Two (2025)
Release Date: November 21, 2025
Director: Jon M. Chu
Starring: Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle
Yeoh, Keala Settle

Fans of the classic The Wizard of Oz and the hit Broadway musical spinoff Wicked
won’t have to wait long for the conclusion of its film adaptation. Closely
following the 2024 theatrical release of Wicked: Part One, Part Two wraps up the
story that follows Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) as she navigates her identity as the
“Wicked Witch of the West” while facing Glinda (Ariana Grande), the Good Witch
of the North. According to producer Marc Platt, splitting the film into two
parts allowed for the inclusion of the entire musical soundtrack.

Zootopia 2 (2025)
Release Date: November 26, 2025
Director: Byron Howard, Rich Moore
Starring: Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin, Rolando Davila-Beltran

The sequel to Zootopia follows young rabbit and cop Judy Hopps (Ginnifer
Goodwin) and con-artist fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) as they navigate a big
city and take down Dawn Bellwether. The Disney animation is long-awaited, coming
nearly a decade after the original film grossed more than $1 billion at the box
office and won the 2016 Oscar for Best Animated Film.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (2025)
Release Date: December 5, 2025
Director: Emma Tammi
Starring: Elizabeth Lail, Josh Hutcherson, Matthew Lillard, Piper Rubio

Come one, come all: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza is reopening its doors for a Five
Nights at Freddy’s sequel. Based on the titular superhit video game, and
following the trend of video game movies, the hauntingly familiar animatronics
are reawakening for their second round of frights. The first installment raked
in upwards of $80 million in its box office run and saw record numbers on
Peacock during its streaming release for Blumhouse — all despite poor reviews —
making a second film a no-brainer for the studio.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)


Release Date: December 19, 2025
Director: James Cameron
Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, David Thewlis, Stephen
Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, Michelle Yeoh, Oona Chaplin



The third film of the Avatar franchise brings audiences back to Pandora and the
Na’vi, this time with new biomes and new clans. The “Ash People” will represent
fire and depict Na’vi who are not as kind as those we’ve seen before. New
additions to the cast include Michelle Yeoh, playing human scientist Dr. Karina
Mogue, and Oona Chaplin, playing the villain Na’vi Varang. Avatar 3 follows on
the heels of the box office juggernaut Avatar: The Way of Water, and the first
act of the fourth film has also already been shot.

Bumpass, Mr. Lawrence, Carolyn Lawrence

SpongeBob SquarePants and friends are coming back to the big screen. The fourth

Dirty Dancing 2 (2025)
Release Date: Summer, 2025
Director: Jonathan Levine
Starring: Jennifer Grey

After almost 40 years, Dirty Dancing is finally getting a sequel. Although
details about the plot, title, and release date are still up in the air, we know
Jennifer Grey is returning as Baby Houseman, and Lionsgate is working to include
as many original cast members as possible. This film will honor the late Patrick
Swayze, not by recasting his character Johnny Castle, but rather by
incorporating Johnny into the story.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Surfer (2024)
Release Date: TBA
Director: Lorcan Finnegan
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Julian McMahon, Nic Cassim, Miranda Tapsell, Alexander
Bertrand

Premiering at Cannes in May of 2024, The Surfer chronicles the story of a father
(Nicolas Cage) who returns to his hometown beach with his son, where they clash
with a group of locals who now claim the beach as their territory. The film,
which earned solid reviews after its premiere and co-stars Julian McMahon, Nic
Cassim, Miranda Tapsell, and Alexander Bertrand, was purchased by Lionsgate and
is scheduled to release sometime in 2025.
