There is a very good chance that 2025 could be the biggest box office year in cinema history. Now that the pandemic and the 2023 Hollywood strikes are fully behind us, the film industry kicked into high gear in 2024. That means that 2025 is going to be a great year for audiences. Check out our list below to discover the most anticipated movies coming out next year including titles like Mickey 17, Captain America: Brave New World, Superman, Tron: Ares and more!
2025 Will See Tons of Sequels
The biggest earners of 2025 will likely be the dozens of high-profile sequels hitting theaters – including some very long-awaited sequels like Tron: Ares, which follows up after the events of 2010’s Tron: Legacy, and 28 Years Later, which continues Danny Boyle’s award-winning zombie franchise.
Jurassic Park is also getting a huge sequel next year with Jurassic World Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johansson, and the world’s highest-grossing movie ever, Avatar, will be seeing its own sequel Avatar: Fire & Ash hit theaters at the end of the year. If it earns anything close to the previous two films, it’s on track to become one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.
2025 Also Has a Surprising Number of Remakes
Adding to the long list of sequels, 2025 is going to be loaded with big-budget remakes. Some of the remakes fans can look forward to are the new comedy The Naked Gun, which is going to star Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, and Wolf Man, which is a retelling of the iconic 1941 Universal horror movie of the same name.
But the biggest remake of 2025 could be Until Dawn. Instead of remaking a proper movie, the film will be an adaptation of the popular cinematic PlayStation game of the same name. The game was a smash hit and led to a spiritual sequel video game called The Quarry, which itself became a massive hit. With such a huge fanbase already out there, the movie is sure to be a success.
2025 Has Lots of Original Movies Too
On top of the sequels and remakes, 2025 is set to have a good number of original films as well. One of the most anticipated (and potentially controversial) is the biopic Michael, which will examine the life and career of Michael Jackson. Michael will be portrayed by his nephew Jaafar Jackson, which has many wondering if the movie will tackle the singer’s controversies, or attempt to whitewash his legacy.
Another original story will be A Minecraft Movie. While it’s technically an adaption, the film’s trailer shows that it is nothing like the games and instead sees a group of humans get transported into the blocky realm, creating its own original story. Also coming to theaters will be the long-delayed sci-fi epic Mickey 17, directed by Oscar-winning Parasite director Bong Joon-ho.
