The 84 Most Anticipated Movies of 2025 (and 1 We Already Love)

The cult-favorite action heist frenzy from 2018 is back for round 2, but in a totally different (but still super fun) story led by returning players Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson, Jr. You’re going to have a lot of fun with this one.

Director Steven Soderbergh‘s resume has proven that he can do quite literally anything (he was behind Ocean’s Eleven, Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Magic Mike, and Che, just to name a few), and he really puts that to the test with his spooky and inventive new film Presence. How inventive, you might ask? Well, the entire film is shot from the perspective of a ghost haunting a family in their new home—and it is both expertly-made and thrilling. But the characters are great too; Chris Sullivan is particularly strong as the family’s father, while Lucy Liu plays a vapid mother with expertise and Callina Liang is a revelation as the daughter whom the story essentially revolves around.

Companion is a fun thrill ride of a movie that comes from producer Zach Cregger (Barbarian) and is built on the genre strength of stars Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets, Heretic) and Jack Quaid (The Boys, Scream (2022)). One tip? Go into this one as blind as possible—there are thrills throughout that you will not see coming. Just know that it’s a fun, violent, wild ride.

After winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar a couple years ago for his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once (and taking a detour in season 2 of Loki), Ke Huy Quan finally gets to play the lead and hero in the action comedy Love Hurts. Jonathan Eusebio, who was a fight coordinator on the John Wick films, makes his directorial debut while Quan is joined by Ariana DeBose and Marshawn Lynch.

Halloween has Halloween. Christmas has Black Christmas. And now Valentine’s Day has Heart Eyes. Sure, there are plenty of other holiday slasher flicks out there (including both the original and remake of My Bloody Valentine), but Heart Eyes looks like a totally entertaining and super fun take on the holiday-themed slasher. Leads Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt seem totally game to outrun the villain here: a maniac known as the “Heart Eyes Killer” who targets couples on Valentine’s Day. Finally, something the single people out there don’t have to worry about!

It’s been a longer than usual absence from the big screen for the Marvel Cinematic Universe; the franchise’s only cinematic entry last year was Deadpool & Wolverine, which made a ton of money but was really not all that connected to the comings and goings of the MCU proper. Brave New World, which is notable in marking Anthony Mackie’s first outing since his character, Sam Wilson, became the titular Captain America, also adds Harrison Ford to its cast as the new General Thunderbolt Ross (and Red Hulk) following the unfortunate passing of William Hurt. Will this be good? We can only hope so; despite lots of reported reshoots, the trailers look like a return to the political thriller roots of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Two very cool stars (in Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy)? Check. A cool director (in Scott Derrickson, of Doctor Strange, Sinister, and The Black Phone fame)? Check. A cool premise? Check. The Gorge, finds Miles and Anya as a pair of talented agents who need to protect a mysterious gorge before finding themselves teaming up to take on a common evil. Is that a basic, easy-to-follow premise? Yes. Has it been done before? Yeah, probably. Is it going to be fun? Almost definitely.

The Monkey marks a absolute horror dream team: director Oz Perkins (who last year did Longlegs), producer James Wan (who has done about a million great things, including Insidious, Saw, and Malignant), and based on a story by Stephen King. The Monkey, which stars Theo James as a pair of troubled twins, is more of a dark horror comedy than Longlegs, but don’t be mistaken: you can expect a lot of scares and a lot of violence to go along with quite a lot of laughs as well.

Bong Joon-ho’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning Parasite is finally arriving in theaters, and its Mickey 17, the sci-fi dark comedy featuring Robert Pattinson as many, many, different doomed versions of a guy named Mickey. This looks more like Bong’s heightened worlds in Snowpiercer and Okja than the grounded mania of Parasite, but nonetheless it should still be a super fun movie filled with great performances (Pattinson is joined by Steven Yeun, Tilda Swinton, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo, among others) and lots of goofy violence. Fun fact: the movie is based on a novel called Mickey 7, but the title was changed because Bong wanted to kill Mickey 10 more times.

The Ayo Edebiri breakout continues with A24’s Opus, a horror film where she plays a journalist who gets invited to the home of a mysterious and reclusive pop star (John Malkovich) who turns out to have a twisted and disturbing cult surrounding him. Sounds wild!

The second Steven Soderbergh film of 2025 already is Black Bag, which finds the 62-year-old master director returning to a zone he thrives in: the sleek, cool, fun, thriller with an absolutely stacked cast. Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett play a pair of legendary intelligence agents who find themselves wondering if they can trust each other or the agencies they work for in the midst of some major international danger. The rest of the cast includes Pierce Brosnan, Naomie Harris, Regé-Jean Page, Industry star Marisa Abela, and more.

The second Jack Quaid film of our list finds the young star as a guy with a condition where he can’t feel pain on an adventure to save the potential love of his life. Novocaine looks to be filled with bouncing, frenetic action and Quaid’s optimistic energy and strong charisma seem to make him a great fit.

Academy Award-winning director Barry Levinson (Diner, The Natural, Rain Man) is back for his first movie on the big screen since 2015 with The Alto Knights, which features Robert De Niro as not one but two different warring mob bosses. Seems like it could be good but also might be a little silly. We’ll have to see!

Guys. It’s Jason Statham. You know what you’re going to get, and I hope he never stops. This one has David Harbour as a blind ally of our bald-headed hero as he takes out all sorts of bad guys; it also marks a reunion between Statham and The Beekeeper director David Ayer. A sure blast incoming.

Death of a Unicorn has a phenomenal cast—Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Richard E. Grant, and Tea Leoni, among others—to go along with an even more phenomenal premise. The film is a black comedy that follows a father and daughter (Rudd and Ortega) who are in a whole situation after the accidentally strike and kill a unicorn on the road… only to find that a rich industrialist family (Grant, Poulter, Leoni) want to experiment on the unicorn for evil (and money). Lots of madness ensues. Not only is this movie fun and stacked with talent, but it’s got an original score from horror/movie legend John Carpenter.

One of the most fun horror directors in the last decade or so is Christopher Landon, who was behind the Happy Death Day films and Freaky. Now, he’s back for Drop, an escape thriller that will star The White Lotus star Meghann Fahy and 1923‘s Brendan Sklenar.

Based on the novel by Robert Littell, The Amateur looks to have a simple enough premise: after a tech guy for the CIA (Rami Malek) sees his wife murdered, he decides to go rogue and take matters into his own hands. Think Law Abiding Citizen but with far more advanced technology.

It’s a camp-set horror/comedy/slasher that stars (and was co-directed by) Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard. Why not? He’s joined in the cast by his co-writer/co-director Billy Bryk and Gladiator 2 and Thelma star Fred Hechinger.

One of the year’s most exciting and intriguing blockbusters is Sinners, an original period-setting horror adventure film by Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed, Fruitvale Station) that stars Michael B. Jordan as a pair of twins. We think vampires are involved? A little crazy that Ryan Coogler got to Vampires with Warner Bros. before his old friends at Marvel Studios did with Blade, but what are you going to do? This movie seems like it’s going to rule—MBJ is joined in the cast by Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, and Jack O’Connell, among many others.

Ben Affleck is back for The Accountant 2. If you know you know, folks. The first movie made over $150 million at the box office, and is a lot of fun—so if you were into that one, here’s your treat.
