In 2024, Hollywood experienced a writers’ strike. This resulted in fewer titles and a couple of delayed most-awaited movies or shows. Therefore, we’re looking forward to a packed year—here are 13 new movies to look out for in 2025 and their release dates!
1. Wolfman
If you’re a horror lover, the beginning of the year brings…Wolfman! Featuring Julia Garner, which we all fell in love with since Ozark, and Christopher Abbott, the story follows the two and their daughter (Matilda Firth) through a bizarre adventure. After being attacked by an unseen animal, the father begins to transform into something unrecognizable. The rest…we’re about to find out! In cinemas since January 17, 2025.
2. Presence
This seems to be the month for horror lovers, with Presence also premiering on January 24, 2025. The story is a classic: a family moves in a new home in the suburbs, but soon gets a strange feeling, like they may not be alone. Lucy Liu, Julia Fox and Chris Sullivan will guide us through this creepy adventure, directed by Steven Soderbergh.
3. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
The nostalgia is strong with this one! On February 13, 2025, beloved Bridget returns in a whole new life chapter: as a widow and a single mother, that learns to navigate her new challenges. And maybe…there’s a new, young, exciting love interest?! Besides Renée Zellweger, we also have the pleasure to see favorites Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson.
4. Captain America: Brave New World
Surprised to see beloved Captain America on the list of most awaited new movies of 2025? Us neither – and we only have to wait until February 14, 2025. Valentine’s plans, anyone?
The new Captain America finds himself in the middle of an international incident, and must discover the motive behind a nefarious global plan. The movie stars beloved Liv Tyler and Harrison Ford.
5. Mickey 17
Sci-fi fans are thrilled for this one! Mickey 17 premiers on March 7, 2025. Featuring Robert Pattinson (Twilight generation, unite), and Toni Collette (Desperate Housewives – same generation) get together for this amazing adventure, where Mickey is an “expendable”. That’s a disposable crew member on a space mission selected for dangerous tasks, because he can be renewed if his body dies, with his memories largely intact. Though things could go wrong…
6. Snow White
Who doesn’t love a good Disney remake? Snow White promises to deliver, and it premiers on March 21, 2025. The live-action adaption will feature the beautiful, amazingly talented Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot. We probably don’t need to detail the storyline – it’s simply the live action adaptation of the classic 1937 Disney animated film ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’.
7. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
Representing the 8th Mission: Impossible movie, there’s been a lot of rumors around this one being the last. While we don’t know much about the storyline yet, we do know it follows Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’s cliffhanger ending. We’ll follow Ethan Hunt and his team as they fight the AI program The Entity, and other enemies. The movie will star Tom Cruise, of course, and premiers on May 23, 2025.
8. 28 years later
Another much awaited gem for horror lovers: 28 years later is set to release on June 20, 2025. Almost three decades after a deadly virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, some people are still finding ways to survive and live on, between the infected. When a group leaves the island on a mission, they discovers horrors that have mutated the infected and survivors.
28 years later, starring Cillian Murphy and many more huge names, follow 28 weeks later (2007) and 28 days later (2002) – in case you’d like a pre-watch party.
9. Jurassic World: Rebirth
Are we ever gonna get tired for a new Jurassic movie? Probably not – especially as long as the nostalgia factor is strong. Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson will lead this amazing story expected on July 2, 2025. It’s set five years post-Jurassic World Dominion. We’ll follow an expedition that braves isolated equatorial regions to extract DNA from three massive prehistoric creatures, for a groundbreaking medical breakthrough.
10. Superman
Super fans, watch out – Clark Kent is back on July 11, 2025! Follow our superhero, played by David Corenswet, as he reconciles his heritage with his human upbringing. This is set to be the first film of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Producer Peter Safran described the film as “the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way; he’s kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned”.
11. Tron: Ares
Lovers of technology and sci-fi movies are looking forward to this one – premiering on October 10, 2025. Featuring names like Jodie Turner-Smith, Gillian Anderson, Jess Bridges and Jared Leto, it’s only a given that we expect a lot.
