As a film critic with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that 2025 is shaping up to be quite the year for cinema enthusiasts like myself! With blockbusters galore on the horizon, it’s no wonder that fans are eagerly anticipating these silver-screen spectacles.
2024 was a bountiful year for cinema, boasting hits like “Inside Out 2“, “Deadpool & Wolverine“, and “Despicable Me 4“, which raked in impressive box office earnings. However, 2025 is gearing up to be a cinematic comeback, with numerous eagerly awaited blockbusters spanning diverse genres expected to captivate audiences. With an abundance of upcoming releases next year, the question arises: “Which one are fans most excited to catch?” Fortunately, we have some insight.
In a survey conducted by Fandango regarding the most anticipated movies for 2025, over 9,000 individuals were asked about their most eagerly awaited film. The findings may catch you off guard. Besides revealing the most-anticipated movie overall, Fandango also analyzed preferences by genre and performances, providing valuable insights into the mindset of cinema enthusiasts. Remarkably, the survey suggests that a significant 89% of respondents are planning to watch more movies in theaters next year, with nearly half (53%) stating their intention to catch at least six films.
2025 appears set to be an important year for Hollywood, as it attempts to recover from various challenges faced recently, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and strikes by writers and actors in 2023 that significantly impacted the industry. As a result, there’s a buzz surrounding what films are generating excitement among audiences, according to Fandango, which has released an official list of these highly anticipated movies.
- Captain America: Brave New World
- Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
- Jurassic World Rebirth
- From the World of John Wick: Ballerina
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps
- Avatar: Fire and Ash
- Wicked Part 2
- The Accountant 2
- Superman
- 28 Years Later
Fandango’s Survey Breaks Things Down Even Further
It’s quite unexpected, isn’t it? What’s even more surprising is the list of actors that moviegoers are eager to watch next year at their local theaters. Scarlett Johansson in “Jurassic World: Rebirth” and Nicholas Hoult in “Superman” were expected, but Pedro Pascal (“Fantastic Four: Initial Steps”) and Ana de Armas (“From The World of John Wick: Ballerina”) are also gaining attention. However, the one name that caught us off guard is Brad Pitt’s, who will portray a retired Formula One racer mentoring a young prodigy in Joseph Kosinski’s “F1,” scheduled for release on June 27.
Among various genres, “Captain America: Brave New World” led in the action/adventure category, while “Wicked Part Two” stood out as the most anticipated family film. In the horror genre, “28 Years Later” held the top spot, with other notable titles such as “Wolf Man”, “The Conjuring: Last Rites”, “M3GAN 2.0”, and “The Black Phone 2” making it to the Top 5.
Absolutely, polls such as this one are based on personal opinions, so even if Captain America: Brave New World is the movie Fandango fans have chosen as their top most anticipated film of 2025, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll share that excitement. With 2025 being filled with sequels, it’s intriguing to see which original films manage to stand out and become successful. Regardless, it’s evident that as we move towards the latter part of the decade, there will be a diverse range of movies catering to various tastes.
