2024 was full of great movies, bringing us to the bright and colorful Oz in Wicked before Nosferatu chilled us to the bone – but now it’s 2025, it’s time to look ahead.

Whether you’re a sucker for superhero movies, an action movie aficionado, or hyped for horror, there’s plenty to get excited about. James Gunn’s DCU kicks off properly with Superman, we meet the MCU‘s Fantastic Four, Tom Cruise does another death-defying stunt in Mission: Impossible 8, and Ryan Coogler makes his horror debut with Sinners.
