We do know that Julia Garner and Christopher Abbott have signed on to star, but that’s about it. If Whannell can bring the same kind of flair that made <em>The Invisible Man</em> a runaway success, we can expect good things.</p> <hr /> <h2><strong>FEBRUARY</strong></h2> <hr /> <div class="youtube-container"><iframe width="100%" height="auto" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4IvrhT9m684" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <p><strong> <p class='apple-news-link-wrap movie'> <a class='title' href='https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/captain_america_brave_new_world'>Captain America: Brave New World</a> <span class='year'>(2025)</span> </p></strong><br /> <b>Release Date:</b> February 14, 2025<br /> <b>Director:</b> Julius Onah<br /> <b>Starring:</b> Anthony Mackie, Tim Blake Nelson, Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, Danny Ramirez, and Shira Haas</p> <p>Sam Wilson, the superhero formerly known as The Falcon, took on Cap’s mantle in the Disney+ series <em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier</em>, and now he’s ready for the big screen.

Jordan have proven to be a winning duo in critically acclaimed films such as <em>Fruitvale Station (2013)</em> and big franchises like <em>Creed</em> and <em>Black Panther </em>– the latter of which has generated a record-shattering $2.1 billion at the box office with only two films. Despite the plot details being kept tightly under wraps, the pair will return for a feature that is being produced by two-time Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson with Rebecca Cho and Will Greenfield. Coogler is known for innovative storytelling that speaks to a diverse range of moviegoers, and his work is no stranger to big-ticket award nominations, so his newest project comes with understandably high expectations.</p> <hr /> <p><strong> <p class='apple-news-link-wrap movie'> <a class='title' href='https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/black_bag'>Black Bag</a> <span class='year'>(2025)</span> </p></strong><br /> <b>Release Date:</b> March 14, 2025<br /> <b>Director:</b> Steven Soderbergh<br /> <b>Starring:</b> Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Regé-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Naomie Harris, Tom Burke, Pierce Brosnan</p> <p>Suspense and mystery meet in an upcoming spy drama from Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh.

Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the Lionsgate film will see a mid-November 2025 release.</p> <hr /> <p><strong>The Running Man (2025)</strong><br /> <b>Release Date:</b> November 21, 2025<br /> <b>Director:</b> Edgar Wright<br /> <b>Starring:</b> Glen Powell, Katy O’Brian, Karl Glusman</p> <p>Edgar Wright brings us a new adaptation of the Stephen King sci-fi novel, which first made it onto the big screen in the form of an Arnold Schwarzenegger action extravaganza in 1987. Wright has pledged to make his film more faithful to the original story, as the Schwarzenegger film only took loose inspiration from it, and he’s employed the talents of rising star Glen Powell and Katy O’Brian (<em>The Mandalorian</em>, <em>Love Lies Bleeding</em>), who appeared alongside Powell in <em>Twisters</em>.</p> <hr /> <img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-250923 size-full" src="https://prd-rteditorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14183755/Most_Anticipated_2025-Wicked.jpg" alt="Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in Wicked (2024)" width="700" height="380" srcset="https://prd-rteditorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14183755/Most_Anticipated_2025-Wicked.jpg 700w, https://prd-rteditorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14183755/Most_Anticipated_2025-Wicked-300x163.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p style="display: block;" class="media-credit image-text">(Photo by ©Universal Pictures)</p> <p><b>Wicked: Part Two (2025)</b><br /> <b>Release Date:</b> November 21, 2025<br /> <b>Director:</b> Jon M.

Closely following the 2024 theatrical release of <em>Wicked: Part One</em>, <em>Part Two</em> wraps up the story that follows Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) as she navigates her identity as the “Wicked Witch of the West” while facing Glinda (Ariana Grande), the Good Witch of the North. According to producer Marc Platt, splitting the film into two parts allowed for the inclusion of the entire musical soundtrack.</p> <hr /> <p><b>Zootopia 2 (2025)</b><br /> <b>Release Date:</b> November 26, 2025<br /> <b>Director:</b> Byron Howard, Rich Moore<br /> <b>Starring:</b> Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin, Rolando Davila-Beltran</p> <p>The sequel to <em>Zootopia</em> follows young rabbit and cop Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and con-artist fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) as they navigate a big city and take down Dawn Bellwether.

Based on the titular superhit video game, and following the trend of video game movies, the hauntingly familiar animatronics are reawakening for their second round of frights. The first installment raked in upwards of $80 million in its box office run and saw record numbers on Peacock during its streaming release for Blumhouse — all despite poor reviews — making a second film a no-brainer for the studio.</p> <hr /> <img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-229857 size-full" src="https://prd-rteditorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/13132330/Avatar_Way_of_Water_Reviews2.jpg" alt="Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana as Jake Sully and Neytiri in Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)" width="700" height="380" srcset="https://prd-rteditorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/13132330/Avatar_Way_of_Water_Reviews2.jpg 700w, https://prd-rteditorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/13132330/Avatar_Way_of_Water_Reviews2-300x163.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p style="display: block;" class="media-credit image-text">(Photo by ©Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)</p> <p><strong> <p class='apple-news-link-wrap movie'> <a class='title' href='https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/avatar_fire_and_ash'>Avatar: Fire and Ash</a> <span class='year'>(2025)</span> </p></strong><br /> <b>Release Date:</b> December 19, 2025<br /> <b>Director:</b> James Cameron<br /> <b>Starring:</b> Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, David Thewlis, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, Michelle Yeoh, Oona Chaplin</p> <p>The third film of the <em>Avatar</em> franchise brings audiences back to Pandora and the Na’vi, this time with new biomes and new clans.
