2025 is proving itself to be an exciting year for film lovers. Looking at what’s to come, viewers can predict an influx of reboots, animated adventures and sequels. Going in order by release date, here are some of the most anticipated film releases of 2025 and what you can expect from them.
“Snow White”
Following the 1937 animation of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” this live-action Disney adaptation of “Snow White” will be released on March 21. The film has a star-studded cast, and with Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the evil queen, fans can expect a modernized version of the classic tale. Excitement has been surrounding “Snow White” after it was confirmed that that screenplay was written by Greta Gerwig, who is responsible for a number of successful films, including “Barbie” (2023) and “Little Women” (2019).
“Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning”
On May 23, fans can rush to theaters to witness Tom Cruise step into the shoes of Ethan Hunt one last time, after portraying the character for over 30 years. Unfortunately, this is the concluding film to the “Mission: Impossible” series, but the final film doesn’t intend to stray away from its jaw-dropping stunts and high stakes action sequences. Viewers can also expect to witness a more emotional side of Hunt as he attempts to save humanity from a powerful A.I. “Entity” that has the potential to destroy the world.
“Superman”
In this reboot of the “Superman” film series, David Corenswet will be starring as the titular character, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Releasing on July 11, the first film in the DC Universe (DCU) will focus on Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human family. Directed by James Gunn, the synopsis teases a classic DC blend of action, humor and heart. If you like this one, you may want to also check out Marvel’s “Captain America: Brave New World,” which hits theaters on Feb. 14.
“Wicked: For Good”
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo return as Glinda and Elphaba in what will be the second installment of the “Wicked” film series. This long-awaited part two will hit theaters on Nov. 21. After the extreme success that “Wicked: Part I” has had, fans are anticipating — and holding space — for what’s going to happen next. It’s confirmed that viewers can expect new songs written for the sequel by Stephen Schwartz, as well as more insight on Glinda the Good’s transformation.
“Five Nights at Freddy’s 2”
Freddy Fazbear is seeking vengeance in “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2,” which will release in theaters on Dec. 5. Based on the viral video game horror series, Josh Hutcherson will return as Mike, with appearances from Matthew Lillard and Elizabeth Lail. This will be an exciting year for horror franchises — you can also expect “M3GAN 2.0” on Jun. 27, “The Conjuring: Last Rites” on Sep. 5 and “Saw XI” on Sep. 26.
No matter your preferred genre, 2025 promises something for everyone. Even if you’re not a big fan of going to the movies, chances are you’ll find yourself at the theater at least once to catch one of these highly anticipated releases.
