Happy New Year, everyone! Here’s to 2025—a fresh year filled with endless possibilities and, of course, a packed calendar of incredible movies. Hopefully, you’ve recovered from your New Year’s Eve shenanigans because we’re diving headfirst into my Top 10 Most Anticipated Upcoming Movies of 2025!
- These picks are completely out of order. No countdown drama here—just raw excitement for some epic films.
- We know the drill. Some of these will be delayed (cue 2026 sigh), and some of the best movies of 2025 might not even be on anyone’s radar yet. That’s part of the magic, right?
Alright, let’s roll! 2025 is shaping up to be an incredible year for movies. Here are the top 10 most anticipated upcoming Movies you simply can’t miss.
28 Years Later (June 20)
Yes, it’s happening! Danny Boyle is back in the director’s chair, bringing us the long-awaited sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. The buzz for this film has been simmering for years—nearly 28, ironically. The trailer gave me chills, and I’m thrilled to revisit this post-apocalyptic nightmare. Please don’t let this one get delayed. Let’s not jinx it, though!
Presence (Jan. 17)
Imagine watching a haunted house movie entirely from the ghost’s point of view. That’s the concept of Presence, directed by Steven Spielberg. The trailer teased an eerie, thought-provoking take on ghostly hauntings. Are they trying to scare people? Make contact? Or are they just… confused? This one’s hitting theaters in just a few weeks, so fingers crossed it delivers spine-tingling thrills.
F1 (TBD)
Director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) is back, and this time, he’s putting us behind the wheel of Formula 1 cars. With We Will Rock You fueling the trailer, this movie already has the adrenaline pumping. If Kosinski’s track record of immersive filmmaking is any indicator, we’re in for a high-octane spectacle. Buckle up!
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (May 21)
Tom Cruise is back, running (literally) for what’s probably the last time as Ethan Hunt. This movie concludes the Mission: Impossible saga (unless they surprise us with another one). While it’s hard to top Fallout, the franchise has been consistently stellar, so here’s hoping Cruise pulls off yet another death-defying masterpiece.
Michael (TBD)
A biopic about the King of Pop? Yes, please. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, Michael promises to explore the incredible life and career of Michael Jackson. Capturing the essence of a legend is no easy task, but with a talented director and dedicated cast, this could be the year’s most talked-about movie.
Superman: Legacy (July 11)
It’s Superman. Enough said, right? Directed by James Gunn, this movie has stirred curiosity and debate among fans. While I question some stylistic choices (hello, baggy suit), the trailer has rekindled my hope for a fresh take on the Man of Steel. Let’s hope Gunn’s vision soars as high as the superhero himself.
Frankenstein (TBD)
Guillermo del Toro directing Frankenstein? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Known for his gothic storytelling and visually stunning worlds, del Toro feels tailor-made for this classic tale. The excitement is palpable, and with a unique creative spin, this could redefine the iconic monster for a new generation.
The Running Man (November 7)
Edgar Wright’s reimagining of The Running Man (based on Stephen King’s story) has my attention. Starring Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick), this adaptation promises to be a fresh take on a dystopian classic. Wright’s knack for dynamic storytelling and sharp humor is bound to make this one a wild ride.
Caught Stealing (TBD)
Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, The Whale) directs this gritty crime thriller set in 1990s New York. Starring Austin Butler and Matt Smith, the film follows a washed-up baseball player caught up in a dangerous underworld. It’s Aronofsky, so expect tension, depth, and emotional gut punches.
Avatar: Fire and Ash (December 19)
James Cameron’s Avatar series continues with its third installment. This time, we’re diving into the fiery landscapes of the volcanic Na’vi. While Way of Water had its hits and misses, Cameron’s ability to craft breathtaking worlds keeps me hooked. Let’s see if this one ignites the spark anew.
Honorable Mentions Of Anticipated Upcoming Movies
- Mickey 17 (finally coming out this year?)
- Ballerina (John Wick spin-off)
