CinemaCon 2025 marks one of the year's most significant gatherings of cinema owners, offering a chance for some of Hollywood’s biggest studios to lay out their plans for the future. CinemaCon 2025 started strong, with Sony Pictures taking the stage to highlight its biggest upcoming movies, including a few superhero movies and video game adaptations. Check out this guide to find out what's coming soon from Sony and where to watch the studio's biggest forthcoming films announced at CinemaCon.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse
Although initially slated for release in March 2024, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was removed from Sony’s calendar following the SAG-AFTRA strike. However, at CinemaCon 2025, the studio revealed that the film finally has an official theatrical release date: June 4, 2027. Sony also released several first-look images, highlighting the film’s innovative and stunning animation style and teasing the return of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), and Prowler (Jharrel Jerome). Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will serve as the second part of Sony's "Spider-Verse," which began with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and continued with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The Spider-Verse isn’t the only Spider-Man franchise expanding. At CinemaCon 2025, Sony officially announced that the Marvel Cinematic Universe's next live action Spider-Man movie will be titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day and premiere on July 31, 2026. The film serves as a sequel to Spider-Man: No Way Home and will see Tom Holland return as Peter Parker (a.k.a. Spider-Man). Plot details have not been disclosed, but the title suggests that Sony is adapting the “Brand New Day” Marvel Comics storyline in which Peter navigates a world where everyone’s memory of his alter ego has been erased.
The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event
During CinemaCon 2025, Sony confirmed the cast for its upcoming Beatles biopics. Last year, the studio announced it intended to make not one, but four intersecting Beatles biopics, with each movie focusing on a different member of the band. The collection will be called The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event. Sony revealed that the cast includes Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, Paul Mescal as Paul McCarthy, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Harris Dickinson as John Lennon. Sam Mendes will direct all four biopics, which will be released in April 2028. The exact release dates for each movie and the sequence of the releases are yet to be announced.
Starship Troopers
Sony's CinemaCon announcement also included plans for a new adaptation of Starship Troopers, the science-fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein that inspired the 1997 movie of the same name and the animated series Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles. Sony’s remake will return to the source material and will be written and directed by District 9’s Neill Blomkamp. Further details about the film remain under wraps. However, the book follows a young man named Juan "Johnny" Rico, tracking his military career in the Mobile Infantry as humanity engages in an interstellar war against an alien species known as “Bugs.”
Insidious 6
Sony also gave an update on Insidious 6 at CinemaCon, setting a new official release date for the horror movie. Following the success of Insidious: The Red Door, Sony confirmed a sixth installment in the horror franchise was in development. Initially, the studio had set a tentative release date of August 2025 before removing the project from its calendar. However, Insidious 6 is once again part of the studio’s lineup, with a release date of August 21, 2026. Sony has not yet confirmed any plot or cast details.
Grandgear
After reports arose that Sony won a bidding war for Grandgear, the studio has finally confirmed the movie as part of its upcoming release schedule. Little is known about the project, aside from Takashi Yamazaki’s involvement. Yamazaki is the award-winning director behind the smash hit movie Godzilla Minus One. He’s set to write, direct, and produce Grandgear, marking his first English-language project. Given Yamazaki’s global success with Godzilla Minus One, Grandgear kicked off a bidding frenzy, with Sony ultimately securing and greenlighting the mystery project.
Jumanji 4
At CinemaCon, Sony offered an update on Jumanji 4, the fourth installment in the Jumanji franchise and sequel to Jumanji: The Next Level. Sony previously confirmed the new Jumanji movie would be released on December 11, 2026. With the studio's latest announcement, it has also been confirmed that Jake Kasdan will return as director. Kasdan previously directed Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: Next Level. Sony has not officially confirmed the film’s plot or cast, but Jack Black has stated he will return. Other potential returnees include lead stars Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan.
Resident Evil (2026)
Sony recently secured the film rights to the Resident Evil franchise, including an upcoming reboot from Zach Cregger. The studio officially confirmed the development of the movie at CinemaCon, where Cregger took the stage to tease how it would differentiate itself from the other movies in the franchise and revive the spirit of the games. Cregger's new Resident Evil film will premiere on September 18, 2026.
The Breadwinner
Sony also used its time at CinemaCon to set a release date for The Breadwinner, Nate Bargatze’s feature film debut. Bargatze cowrites, stars in, and produces The Breadwinner, which will premiere on March 16, 2026. Weird: The Al Yankovich Story filmmaker Eric Appel is set to direct. While plot details remain unknown, the project marks a stark departure from Bargatze’s typical line of work. As a stand-up comedian known for his deadpan delivery, he has primarily participated in talk shows, skits, and comedy specials. However, now he’s moving on to feature films.
The Legend of Zelda
Sony also had an exciting update for its upcoming Legend of Zelda movie, which will be made in collaboration with Nintendo. Previously, Sony announced that Wes Ball, best known for his work on The Maze Runner trilogy, was set to direct. At CinemaCon, the studio confirmed that the Legend of Zelda adaptation will premiere theatrically on March 26, 2027.
