2025 Upcoming Movie Release Schedule

It's almost 2025, and as we look into the new year, there is a whole new slew of movies coming to theaters. There are plenty of movies to be added to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, spooky films containing familiar monsters from Universal--and no, it's not the Dark Universe--and new movies from familiar directors and actors that will pique your interest.

Next year is filled with what look like must-see movies, though some don't yet have official release dates yet. Rian Johnson, Ryan Coogler, The Russos, Guillermo del Toro, and Paul Thomas Anderson have projects debuting throughout the year, and who can forget there are new Captain America and Superman movies?
