2025 Film Preview


Here are the films that look interesting for the new year. Again, I am basing a lot of my picks on the people involved, familiarity, or an interesting plot description. My opinions may change closer to the release dates. Also, these dates are all subject to change. Anyway, here they are:

Feb.14 Captain America: Brave New World
Going the Winter Soldier political conspiracy route. Good idea.
Apr.11 The Amateur
Rami Malek uses computers to get revenge? Sounds like Mr. Robot. I’m in.
Apr.18 Mickey 17
I can watch Robert Pattinson die lots from the Parasite director.
May.12 Thunderbolts*
I’m hoping this is more like Avengers and less like The Eternals.
May.23 Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning
If this is the last mission, it better go with a bang. I want more though.
Jun.06 Ballerina
Ana De Armas kicking butt as a John Wick-like assassin? Sign me up.
Jun.13 Elio
I’ll give it a chance because it’s from Pixar. Hope it’s not like Lightyear.
Jul.11 Superman
I have faith in James Gunn’s vision, not sure about the extra heroes though
Jul.25 Fantastic Four: The First Steps
Maybe the third reboot is the charm? Pedro Pascal is a good start.
Aug.01 The Naked Gun
Liam Neeson is Frank Drebin? Directed by Akiva from Lonely Island? Yes!
Oct.03 Michael
A biopic about Michael Jackson directed by Antoine Fuqua. Has potential.
Oct.03 Roofman
A true story about a guy who robbed 60 McDonald’s through their roof. OK.
Nov.14 Now You See Me 3
I’ll go another round with The Four Horsemen illusionists. Trick me again.
Nov.21 Wicked: For Good
I hope it is an improvement of the stage’s act two because I’m worried.
Nov.16 Zootopia 2
I enjoyed the first one enough. Bring back the sloths!
TBA The Phoenician Scheme
Wes Anderson’s new film should be released  this year. Awesome.
