Top 10 most anticipated movies of 2025
By ForGeeks Summer is just around the corner, which means Hollywood is ready to release big-budget movies that will pack the box office. From May through September, audiences can expect exciting and interesting movies to watch with friends and family.
Although 2025 has already released some top films, many of their potential hits have been saved for the summer season. In the coming months, moviegoers should pay attention to these films — from blockbusters such as “Superman” to new films such as “Elio.”
Thunderbirds* — May 2, 2025
In this movie, KVM Bucky Barnes, Elena Belova, and several other former Marvel villains will team up to save the world from the super-powered Sentinel after a failed mission by “black ops.”
Although Marvel movies haven’t always been successful lately, the “Thunderbirds*” film positions itself as a dark and unique crossover that centers on Earth’s most controversial heroes. All in all, it seems like this superhero movie could give the MCU the magical development kick it needs in the lead-up to “Avengers: Judgment Day.”
Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning — May 23, 2025
This massive spy movie series will conclude the story begun in 1996’s Mission Impossible and possibly the story of Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). Ethan and his team continue to seek out and destroy the artificial intelligence “The Entity,” and “Final Reckoning” promises to be a huge, emotional adventure with even more thrilling action and deadly stunts.
Although the franchise’s previous film flopped at the box office, “Mission Impossible” remains one of the most popular movie franchises in the world, which means numerous viewers will surely decide to buy a ticket for the latest installment.
Ballerina — June 6, 2025
After “John Wick 4” left the franchise on a high, the spin-off will continue to expand the universe, following a new assassin (Ana de Armas) seeking revenge for her father’s death.
Although Keanu Reeves won’t be starring in this spin-off, Ana de Armas has proven herself capable of leading this big-budget blockbuster. “Ballerina” should continue the series of meticulous, blood-chilling action sequences and stunning imagery that have made the franchise a modern and quite recognizable action movie.
Life of Chuck — June 6, 2025
The movie “The Life of Chuck,” based on the Stephen King novella, chronicles the emotional life of Charles Krantz (Tom Hiddleston), culminating in the appearance of a mysterious billboard congratulating him on his 39th birthday. Since “Life of Chuck” is an adaptation of King, it goes without saying that the movie attracted a lot of attention. After premiering at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the People’s Choice Award, the film received a ton of positive reviews.
Although director Mike Flanagan has moved away from his traditional horror style, which he showcased in such classics as “Dr. Sleep” and “The Haunting at Hill House,” he has reportedly made one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever.
Elio — June 20, 2025
And once again Disney and Pixar team up for the final frontier, only this time for a boy (Jonas Kibreab) who is kidnapped by aliens mistaking him for an Earth ambassador and is taken to the weird and wonderful Communiversity.
As Pixar explores the world of intelligent aliens for the first time, “Elio” has already showcased the colorful and fantasy story in its trailers, showing the studio at its most creative. After “Puzzle 2” broke box office records, the film company is once again ready to capture the hearts of audiences with its colorful new animated film.

The Naked Gun — August 1, 2025
Actor Liam Neeson takes on the role of Detective Frank Drebin (Jr.) as the new face of the Naked Gun franchise.
