We may be halfway through the year, but there are still plenty of new 2025 movie releases to keep track of! Over the next few months, we've got nearly every kind of genre sorted. From upcoming horror movies with animatronic bears to upcoming superhero movies that launch a new era for both Marvel and DC, there's something for every kind of moviegoer to look forward to.

2025 has already had some absolute winners, be that the crowd favourite A Minecraft Movie or the recently released spy thriller Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. However, they are just the start of mega blockbusters lined up on our calendars. Personally, we're most excited about Marvel Phase 6 kicking off in a few weeks with the long-awaited The Fantastic Four: First Steps film, as well as James Gunn kicking off the new DCU with his Superman outing. Jurassic World: Rebirth is also coming up, as is a new set in the John Wick universe.

So yeah, it's easy to be overwhelmed when planning your next cinema trip. However, we're here to help. Below, we've listed all the movie release dates for each month of the year and have clarified where they will be released as well.
