This makes Hollywood in 2025 difficult to determine. Although it seems that there are many IP movies, many sequels, and many famous directors will also release blockbusters, is 2025 a year that will continue to go backwards? Or is it possible to revive again? We can only wait and see.
Let’s take a look at the list of Hollywood films in 2025!
“AVATAR 3: FIRE AND EMBOR”
Release date: December 19th
Avatar 3: Fire and Embers (hereinafter referred to as Avatar 3), which is scheduled to be released at the end of 2025, can be said to be one of the most anticipated masterpieces of the year!
It can be seen from the subtitle of the third part, “Fire and Ember”, that this time the focus is on “The Way of Fire”.
“Atar 3” will introduce a new Namei tribe – the Ashes (Ashes). Unlike other Nami tribes that live in forests or waters, the Ash people live in the volcanic area. Their skin color is darker, and their patterns are blazing red and orange, symbolizing the connection with flames. They are used to using lava as a tool to forge weapons and armor.
The character of the Ashes is also very hot. They are famous for their fierceness and warlikeness. The tribal culture advocates power and conquest, and believes that war is the only law of survival. The attitude towards human beings is also completely different from that of other Nami tribes. It can be said that the Ashes show the inner and relatively bad side of the Namei, and is listed as one of the two villains in the film, along with humans.
The warlike Ashes
In addition to the Ashes, another Name tribe introduced in this film is the Sky Tribe, who are like nomads, floating in the air and migrating with the wind. The relationship, differences and conflicts between the Jack family and the two tribes will be the key to the plot.
The sky clan known as “air merchants”
Avatar 3 will also show the unprecedented volcanic landform on the planet Pandora. From the lava-flowing valley to the volcanic ash-covered plain, the film will present the audience with hot and magnificent scenes through the most advanced CG technology, which is eye-catching.
The “Atar” series is never a simple action adventure movie, but more about family and growth. Cameron said that in this film, the Jack family not only has to fight against the enemies of the outside world, but more importantly, they also have to coordinate the ever-changing relationship between family members.
For the whole “Avatar” series, “Avatar 3” is a chapter that inherits from the top to the bottom. While taking over the previous work, it also paves the way for the fourth part of the series “Avatar: Tu Kun Knight”.
Mission Impossible 8
Release date: May 23
Although the reputation of the series has passed the peak, “Mission Impossible 8”, which is shot by Brother Tang himself, can still be played this year.
The story takes over the ending of Mission Impossible 7. In the previous one, Ethan and his team’s opponent is an artificial intelligence “entity” that threatens the global order. Its complex self-learning ability makes tracking and destroying it an almost impossible task.
In this one, Ethan must lead the team to face this unprecedented enemy head-on, prevent the outbreak of a global crisis, and at the same time deal with the internal and external attacks from betrayal and revenge.
The “Mission Impossible” series is famous for its jaw-dropping stunts. “Mission Impossible 8” will naturally not disappoint. The current known highlight action scenes include driving old-fashioned fighter jets to complete dangerous air combat shots, underwater stunts and aircraft carrier scenes.
Behind-the-scenes photos of underwater stunts exposed by Brother Tang
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount tried to use the “Finale” as the marketing point of the eighth part, but the leading actor and producer Tom Cruise did not approve of this marketing technique.
Of course, whether there is a sequel or not depends on the box office performance of the blockbuster with an investment of about 400 million US dollars.
“Jurassic World 4”
Release date: July 2nd
In response to the fans’ perseverance for the big dinosaur (and circle money, after all, Universal’s other big circle of money IP “Fast and Furious” series is over), the “Jurassic World” series will be restarted this year. As the subtitle “Rebirth” shows, the release of Jurassic World 4 undoubtedly carries the mission of revival and innovation of the series.
Jurassic World 4 is not a complete reboot, but shares the same worldview with the previous three, but different roles.
The fourth story takes place five years after the previous work. At this time, the ecosystem on earth is no longer conducive to the survival of most dinosaurs, and the surviving dinosaurs are forced to live in a tropical environment near the equator.
Unfortunately, in the last habitat of dinosaurs, there is a magic special medicine that can be said to be the key to save mankind, so a human team went deep into the “dragon cave” and risked its life to seek the “magic medicine” – which is the core conflict of the film.
What do you want to watch when watching the “Jurassic World” series? Of course, it’s a big dinosaur. This film has reached a new height in terms of special effects. Of course, there are Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor. We can also look forward to dinosaur species that have not appeared in the previous series.
Since the old characters will not return, we will not see “Star Lord” Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.
But it doesn’t matter!” “Widow Sister” Scarlett Johnson will appear in “Jurassic World 4”, and her role is the leader of the drug-seeking team.
Johnson also likes big dinosaurs very much, especially wants to experience the world of dinosaurs in person. She even said, “I can die in the opening five minutes! It’s okay to be eaten by anything!” It can be seen that the “Widow Sister” has a strong enthusiasm for Jurassic World 4 (but please don’t die immediately).
In addition to Johnson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahshala Ali and others also appeared in this film, looking forward to their performance in the dinosaur world.
Fantastic Four: The First Step
Release date: July 25
Is the Fantastic Four in your memory like this?
Is it still like this?
Anyway, a new version of “The Fantastic Four” movie starring Pedro Pascal as Mr. Magic, “White Widow” Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (“Strange Things” Eddie) as the Thunderfire, and Ebon Moss-Bakrach (“The Bear’s Restaurant”) as the Stoneman’s new version of “The Fantastic Four” is coming!
After Fox was acquired by Disney, a new Fantastic Four movie was put on the agenda. The film was then officially announced as the first film in the sixth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It will tell the new story of the Fantastic Four against the Planet Devourer and the Silver Shadow Man (not the origin story).
The film is set under the retro futuristic worldview of the 1960s, which is separated from the offline art style that Marvel has abused the green screen in recent years, and the casting of the four leading actors has also been highly praised, which is both reasonable and surprising.
However, can it get rid of the influence of the assembly line of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in recent years and give the increasingly decadent MCU a boost similar to Deadpool and Wolverine?
“Superman”
Release date: July 11th
From “Superman: Man of Steel” in 2013 to “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” in 2016, to “Justice League” in 2017, Henry Cavill’s version of Superman is still fresh in people’s memory, but it seems to have happened a long time ago.
Now what Warner and DC want is to completely cut off the “DC Extended Universe” (DCEU), which is full of regret and chaos. So the “Zha Guide” left, the “Roll Guide” came, and the “DC Universe” (DCU) was newly launched and restarted from the beginning. And shouldering the restart of the great cause, we must launch the first shot. Absolutely not to lose, of course, “Superman”.
It can be imagined what kind of pressure James Gunn, who was entrusted with the heavy responsibility of the co-chairman of DC Pictures by Warner’s new boss, faces – he is also the screenwriter and director of Superman (another co-chairman, Peter Safland, is the producer).
Not surprisingly, every detail, every rumor, every dynamic, and every behind-the-scenes photo in the process of the birth of this film have touched the hearts of countless movie fans and comic fans.
What follows is not only expectation and encouragement, but also worry and even questioning.
With the exposure of the first trailer, James Gunn explained how he found the creative spark and story core of Superman: “Superman is actually a perfect combination of ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’.”
In the only international media visit during the filming of “Superman” with the participation of “Global Screen” reporters, Guen also mentioned how rereading the well-reading of the well-received comic “All-Star Superman” from 2005 to 2008 became the main inspiration of the film, as well as the new character, Superman’s pet dog “Little Krypton” (Krypto) The inspiration actually comes from a puppy I adopted, and its name is “Xiaojin”…

“Captain America 4”
Release date: February 14th
As an important work in the fifth stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America 4 bears the heavy responsibility of inheriting the past and the future.
Sam Wilson, the new Captain of America, will use his wings and shields to prove that he can both defend past beliefs and adapt to future challenges.
“Captain America 4” has been scheduled to be released in North America on February 14th!
In 2019’s Avengers 4, with the encouragement of the Winter Soldiers, “Falcon” Sam Wilson accepted Captain America’s shield. At the end of the 2021 TV series Falcon and Winter Soldier, Wilson officially inherited the title of Captain America and became the first black Captain America in history.
Anthony McKay’s performance (Bomb Squad) is crucial. His role is not only the successor of Steve Rogers, but also defines the meaning of Captain America in his own way – upholding equality and justice, caring for all classes and races, not serving specific powers or national interests.
In this film, Wilson will shoulder the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Avengers, and will also have a fierce duel with the Red Hulk. In the film, Wilson’s equipment will be greatly upgraded. He wears a high-tech Jinjin suit, which strengthens his high-speed flight ability and defense against strong shocks. In addition, the Jin arm of Winter Soldier Baki has also been upgraded.
However, the prospect of Captain America 4 is not very optimistic. After the trial screening of the film, it received a lot of negative reviews, and the plot and character building were criticized. Although Marvel has remade and re-edited, the initiative of “repairing the dead sheep” has also made people sweat for the quality of the film.
“Thunder Squad*”
Release date: May 2nd
“Thunder Squad*” is nicknamed “Marvel’s “Suicide Squad”. The protagonists of the story are a group of “villains” with a gloomy past and former past: the audience’s familiar “second-generation Black Widow” Yelena, “Winter Soldier” Baki, Black Widow’s father “Red Guardian” Aleksei, and “American Secret Agent” Ghost “Imitation Master”, “Sentry” and so on.
It is worth mentioning that as early as the filming of Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn showed great interest in directing Thunder Squad*, but after directing Suicide Squad later, he also indirectly satisfied his wish and did not mention it anymore.
Compared with the “Suicide Squad” of “All Wicked People”, most of the protagonists of “Thunder Squad*” are not real villains, but anti-heroic characters who have been controlled and brainwashed by evil organizations and forced to commit many evil deeds. For various reasons, they had to join hands to form a Thunder Special Attack Team to carry out secret missions for the U.S. government, and at the same time, they gradually found a sense of belonging as marginalized people in this strange small group.
It is gratifying that “Thunder Squad*” has finally changed the problem of using the green screen in Marvel movies in recent years, deliberately reducing the use of film special effects and adding more action stunts. This and IMAX shooting are both worth looking forward to.
I believe that many people have noticed the inexplicable “*” in the title of the film, and Kevin Fergie, the head of Marvel movies, sold it. He said that after the film is released, everyone will naturally understand what it means.
In addition, although not many people may care about it anymore, Thunder Squad* is the last film in the fifth stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Crazy Animal City 2”
Release date: November 26th
Crazy Animal City 2, which has been skipping tickets, has always been on the list of fans’ expected films, because the first one is so popular – it has won the love of global audiences with its innovative settings, vivid characters and deep exploration of social issues. It is not only a wonderful adventure film, but also about prejudice, tolerance and The fable of dreams.
The sequel, which began with thousands of calls, was created by the original crew, including directors Byron Howard and Jared Bush, and the dubbing was also familiar faces – Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman continued to voice Judy and Nick.
At the end of the first part, Judy, the rabbit police officer, and her fox partner Nick officially teamed up to become members of the Animal City Police Station. In the sequel, their partnership will face a new test, and the order of Animal City will be threatened again.
During the investigation, Judy and Nick found that there was a conspiracy involving the whole city behind the case. In addition to the main plot, the film will also show the ecology of various areas of Animal City in more depth.
The new scenes and new animals not only make the plot more interesting, but also enrich the worldview of the series. The snake named Gary is a new character, which fits the Year of the Snake in China. It is dubbed by Guan Jiwei, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Some viewers said, “The Year of the Snake is full of ritual.”
Director Byron Howard said that while maintaining the original humor and action elements, Crazy Animal City 2 will make a breakthrough in visual design and present a more vivid Animal City to the audience. However, because the first one is too successful, it is not easy to surpass the previous one, and it is always right to lower expectations appropriately.
“How to Train Your Dragon”
Release date: June 13
“True Dragon Edition” “How to Train Your Dragon” is coming!
The film will take us back to the familiar Boke Village, witness how the leader’s son, Xiao Hihi, became friends with the legendary deadly night dragon “Tothless Boy”, and gradually changed the views of the Boke villagers on the dragon.
Regarding the live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon, the first feature you have noticed may be the restoration. In the pilot trailer of the film’s exposure, the scene of the first meeting of the little hiccup and the toothless boy is almost a reproduction of the classic scene in the animated film according to the split frame.
This is because the live-action version of “How to Train Your Dragon” has invited Dean DeBros, the director of the animated version, to personally serve as the screenwriter, director and production, with the intention of bringing the most original “How to Train Your Dragon”.
The role of Little Hiccough is played by Mason Thames, a young actor with great aura in “Black Phone”, and the role of Astreed is Nicole Parker, who starred in the first season of “The Last Surver”.
In addition, Gerard Butler, who voiced Dogo, the father of Hiccups, in the animation, will also return and play the same role in the live-action version.
The animated trilogy of “How to Train Your Dragon” has earned a total of more than 1.6 billion US dollars at the box office around the world. Now, on the 15th anniversary of the release of the animated version, Dream Workshop has launched its first live-action film. I wonder if it can create a new brilliance of this IP?
“Earth Envoy”
Release date: June 13
This year, there will also be a original film of Pixar Animation – “Earth Envoy” tells the story of Elio, a little earth boy who yearns for space exploration, mistakenly entered the “Cosmic Congress” and found himself in getting along with strange aliens.
Although Adrian Molina, the director of Dream Quest, appeared in the signature, he actually left the project halfway. Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about the qualifications of the successor: Shi Zhiyu’s Youth Metamorphosis is recognized as one of the best Pixar animations in recent years, and Madeleine Saladian has served as a split-frame painter in both of the above films.
But on the other hand, the production process is not smooth enough to make people worry about the quality of the film; the characters and storylines are not clear enough, and they face the challenge of how to attract the audience.
“Star Baby Stitch”
Release date: May 23
Disney will bring a live-action movie of Star Baby Stitch this year!
The popular animated film “Star Baby” in 2002 was directed by Chris Sanders (“Wild Robot”) and Dean DeBros (“How to Train Your Dragon”) and was nominated for the Oscar and Annie Award; the director of the live-action version is Dean Fry, who made the independent animation masterpiece “Shell in Shoes Marcel” She Camp, his performance is also worth looking forward to!
The story of the film still focuses on the magical story between Lilo, a little human girl, and Stitch, a naughty alien creature disguised as a puppy. However, the problem is whether Stitch in the real environment produced by computer special effects can restore the playful cuteness and elusiveness of the animated version?
I hope it’s not another “ruining childhood”!
“Snow White”
Release date: March 21
Disney’s live-action version of Snow White may become one of the most controversial IP movies in 2025.
The film adopts the non-traditional casting method commonly used on the theatrical stage of “skinless casting”. Latino rising star Rachel Zegler is chosen to play Snow White, and Gail Gadot is jealous of her beauty.
As if predicting the doubts of netizens, the live-action version of “Snow White” has adjusted the story setting: the reason for naming Snow White is no longer because her skin is as white as snow, but because she survived a snowstorm with her parents, so she was named “Snow White” to commemorate her strength; and the classic line “Who is the most beautiful In “people”, the word “fair” means both “beautiful and fair” and “fair”. Does the film play a pun?
The second round of controversy came from Zegler’s remarks. In the interview, she talked about the modernity of the live-action version of Snow White, and even belittled the classic animated version of 1937, and despised Snow White and Prince Charming.
Although some voices believe that she “made Snow White more feminist” is commendable, another voice believes that her attitude has gone to another extreme, which is an attack on people who do not desire power or want to be traditional women, and that it is also unprofessional to belittle the old version of animated films during the publicity period.
The third round of controversy was about the seven dwarfs.
The dwarf in the film is played by a dwarf actor and six non-dwarf actors of different races and genders. The voice represented by the famous dwarf actor Peter Dinlaki (the actor of “Little Devil” in Game of Thrones) believes that the setting of “Seven Dwarfs” is outdated, stereotyped, curious and outdated, but the other school of dwarfism Confucian actors criticized Disney’s selection of non-dwarf actors, believing that this crowded out the performance space of dwarf actors.
That’s not the end. The intensification of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in recent years has plunged the film starring Israeli actor Gadot into another vortex: Palestinian supporters think it is inappropriate to let Gadot star in this masterpiece itself, while Israeli supporters think it is offensive to let Gadot play the role of the “evil” queen.
Skin color, feminism, dwarf discrimination, Palestinian-Israeli conflict… Can Snow White, who has stepped on countless minefields in one breath, survive safely and bring a masterpiece in the new era?
Or perhaps, does this mean that today’s divided world can no longer accommodate the simpler and pure worldview in Snow White in 1937, but also conceals more ugly reality?
“No. 17”
Release date: April 18
“Number 17” is adapted from Edward Ashton’s science fiction novel “Mitch 7”. It is a new film written, directed and produced by South Korean director Bong Jun-ho. It is also his first film after the award-winning “Parasite”.
Unconsciously, it has been nearly six years since “Parasite” in 2019, and fans have been waiting for too long. It’s just that there are many good things, and the film has been changed repeatedly. Fans who are familiar with the operation mode of Hollywood know that frequent file changes are usually not a good thing for a movie, which often implies that the distributor lacks confidence in the film.
Maybe we can calm down a little before the film officially meets the public.
Judging from the current official plot, “Number 17” is easily reminiscent of the 2009 classic science fiction film “Moon” (the following contains key spoilers of “Moon”):
Mitch Barnes (played by Robert Pattinson) was hired by a large enterprise to complete the task alone in a remote alien colonial base. His work was both arduous and risky, but the company had already arranged for it – if he accidentally died, there would be a copy that was exactly the same as him, and even the memory was basically inherited. People come out to take over.
In “The Moon”, the protagonist played by Sam Rockwell did not find this amazing reversal until the end. He realized that he was a “regular scrap” who was copied many times. All the expectations of leave and his longing for his family were just illusory digital imprints;
“Number 17” is different. It seems that Robert Pattinson’s character knows his fate from the beginning, and the whole story is closer to the black comedy style.
Mickey Barnes was sent to a distant planet by the company, and all the most difficult and dangerous jobs were entrusted to him. Anyway, he was the kind of “one-time employee” who could be sacrificed at any time, and there was a clone at any time. So it’s not difficult for us to guess from “Micky No. 17” in the title: he has hung up 16 times, right?
There was a little accident this time: the “accident” on the 17th was aliver from the accident, but on the 18th, he was on duty. So there were two Mickeys at the same time.
In fact, whether it is “evil company” or “two selves” is a common theme of science fiction, but what kind of inspiration can these two things be put together?
Minecraft
Release date: April 4th
There is no doubt that game adaptations are a track for Hollywood, which is exhausted today’s originality, although the road is still bumpy – judging from the trailer alone, the movie version of Minecraft is expected to compete with the tragic No Man’s Land.
Not to mention anything else, Jason Momo, what do you mean by this look…?
Brother, how are you?
Minecraft is a sandbox game released in 2011. It has won the love of players all over the world for its ultra-high degree of freedom and creativity. It was once known as the greatest game in history.
The movie version tells the story of four “weirds” in the real world, who are suddenly transported to a strange square world and embark on an adventure under the leadership of the mysterious craftsman Steve (played by Jack Black). From excavation and construction to TNT explosives, zombies and doomsday pearls, it is reported that the various mechanisms of the game will be restored one by one in the film, but the painting style is slightly strange…
“Fast and Fast Chase: Ballet Kills Girl”
Release date: June 6th
The story of the film is set between “Fast and Fast 3” and “Fast and Fur 4”, focusing on a young female killer. After her family was killed, she was determined to hunt down the murderer and avenge her family.
As the first spin-off film of the “Fast and Furious” series, the film introduces a new character, Eve, played by Anna de Armas, and may further reveal John Wick’s mysterious past.
Corresponding to the Latin sentence “Fate favors the brave” on Wick’s back, Eve’s “light in the dark” in Latin on his back.
As a spin-off film of the “Fast and Speed Chase” series, this film will obviously also have a large number of punch-to-flesh action scenes. Norman Redus, the new “brother” who joined the series, joked that the shooting process of all action scenes was “extremely painful”!
Werewolf
Release date: January 17
Horror fans all know Lee Warner, the Australian man who co-created the “Saw” myth and the “Lurking Universe” with Wen Ziren. Since Warner’s “Invisible Man” directed in 2020 was well received and renewed the old IP with a feminist perspective, he has added a resounding title: the man who saved the global “monster universe”.
This time, can he continue to work hard to make a new idea for another old antique “Werewolf” in the Universal Classic Monster?
At present, Warner’s idea is to make the pattern and space of the story smaller. In the violent old drama of “human nature becomes beastly”, it is a painful family tragedy: a full moon night, a house in the forest, a family of four, a mother, a son, a daughter, and a father who is about to become a werewolf.
“28 Years of Change”
Release date: June 20
As soon as “28 Days of Shock” was released in 2002, it was amazing. Director Danny Boyle transformed American zombie films with the common humanistic care and humanistic exploration of European films as an entry point. Five years later, the sequel “28 Weeks of Change” showed the conflict between violence and humanity on a larger scale.
This year, the audience’s long-awaited third work “28 Years of Change” has finally arrived (“28 Months” was skipped), starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fines, Judy Comer and others. At this time, nearly 30 years have passed since the first outbreak of the virus. Although survivors have established new gathering areas, a more deadly virus is about to hit.
Interestingly, the whole film was shot with iPhone 15 Pro Max, which is the largest mobile phone film in film history.
“Soul 4”
Release date: September 5th
As one of the benchmarks of current horror films, the “Soul” series not only achieved great success at the box office, but also created the “Soul Universe”.
This year, the soul universe will usher in the final chapter. Although the specific plot has not been announced, it is expected to continue the tradition of adapting real events in the series. Patrick Wilson and Villa Famiga will continue to play the role of the “exorcism couple” in the film, but their 12-year-long collaboration between the screen couple will come to an end.
The end of the main plot of “Soul” does not mean the end of the soul universe. In the future, more derivative works will be launched one after another to continue to expand the worldview of this horror series.
“Little Man 2”
Release date: August 15th
Compared with the usual violent cool films, “Little Man” in 2021 adds black humor in addition to the refreshing action and fighting, which is also unique. In this year’s Little Man 2, retired agent Hitch Mansell was once again involved in a dangerous criminal world. He not only had to face a group of enemies armed to the teeth, but also had to face the complex attitude of his family towards his true identity.
The sequel was directed by Ilia Neshule (“Hardcore Henry”) to Indonesian action film director Timo Tahayato (“Night of Humanity”), which is expected to integrate the fighting skill “Bancasula” originating from Southeast Asia into the action design and inject fresh blood into the series. Sharon Stone, the veteran goddess, joined Cass. Although her role is not clear, it is undoubtedly one of the biggest points of the film.
“Creation: God of War”
Release date: October 10th
The 1982 “Electronic World War” occupied a place in the history of film with its pioneering visual effects and profound philosophical discussion, and the 2010 “Creation: War Chronicles” continued the gorgeous special effects of the previous work. Now, after 15 years, the latest chapter of this series, Creation: God of War, is finally back.
The plot is in line with the current AI hotspot. It tells the story of a program called Ares, which has the ability to learn and evolve, and is sent from the cyber space to reality to perform a dangerous task.
This film will continue to adopt cutting-edge special effects technology to create an immersive future world for the audience. The soundtrack is another highlight. The crew invited the famous rock band “Nine Inch Nails” to compose the music. The unique music style and strong sense of rhythm can undoubtedly add more sense of the future to “Creation: God of War”.
“Michael”
Release date: October 3rd
Since the great success of Bohemian Rhapsody in 2018, Hollywood has found a new money tree – a biopic of pop singers.
So a year later, Graham King, the producer of Bohemian Rhapsody, won the copyright of Michael Jackson’s film production. That year also happened to be the tenth anniversary of the death of the popular king.
The director of “Michael” is Antoin Fuqua, an experienced genre film veteran. His many collaborations with Denzel Washington (“Training Day”, “Redress Trilogy”, etc.) are the most popular with fans.
For this film, “who will play Michael Jackson” is the most critical question.
The answer is Jafar Jackson, Michael Jackson’s nephew. Now fans shouldn’t have to worry, right?
Biographical films should not be all-inclusive. The film will focus on Michael Jackson’s early career in the 1960s and 1970s, recalling his childhood, and the years of the “Jackson Five Brothers”. At the same time, Jackson’s experience a week before his death will become another parallel clue. As for the controversial parts of Michael Jackson’s life, producer Graham King once revealed that he hoped that the film would “present the most wonderful and fair story in a way that is humane but does not avoid controversy”.
The Bride of Frankenstein
Release date: September 26th
The story of Frankenstein is known to everyone, but not many people know about the bride of Frankenstein.
The Bride of Frankenstein is Maggie Gyllenhaal’s second director, and she also wrote the script herself.
Gyllenhaal’s previous work “Daughter in the Dark” has been unanimously praised for its sincere and rich female image shaping. Can she make up for the regret of that year this time, examine the subject of “artificial life” from a female perspective, which has great potential, and let the “bride” become the real protagonist?
Secondly, Christian Bale plays the most famous monster in film history, and no fan can resist this temptation.
Jesse Buckley, who plays the heroine, as a powerful actress of the new generation of British actresses, has previously performed eye-catchingly in her cooperation with Charlie Kaufman, Sarah Polly, Alex Garran and other famous directors.
She is especially good at playing the role of a new era woman with an “quaint” temperament. “The Bride of Frankenstein” is really suitable for her. Barkley also starred in “Daughter of the Dark”. Maybe she has been attracted by Gyllenhaal since then?
In addition to Bell and Buckley as the male and female protagonists, the cast of the film also has two brilliant names, Penelope Cruz and Annette Benin. Of course, the director’s husband Peter Sasgard and his younger brother Jack Gyllenhaal also came to help.
Finally, the cost of the film is said to exceed $100 million, and the song and dance scenes will account for a certain proportion. When it comes to singing and dancing, it is impossible not to mention Johnny Greenwood, who is the music for this film. Nowadays, his achievements in the field of film soundtracks are almost beyond his line as a Radiohead guitarist.
“It’s hard to fly with wings”
Release date: January 24th
In 2020, Jared Rosenberg’s script “It’s Hard to Fly with Wings” was rated as the most popular unfilmed script on the “Hollywood Screenplay Blacklist”; now, Mel Gibson, who directed “Bloody Saw Ridge” eight years later, has made it into a 91-minute thriller of the same name.
“Miss Downton” Michelle Docry plays a female police officer who is responsible for escorting an important witness (played by Topher Grace) to New York, where the latter will appear in court to testify to a gangster family.
Unexpectedly, the pilot in charge of transportation (played by Mark Wahlberg) was actually a killer sent to assassinate witnesses. After subduing him, the female police officer found that there were more conspiracies and dangers waiting for them. Several people with different positions had to fly together through this journey of exile…
Mark Wahlberg’s style is very eye-catching.
“The Former Killer”
Release date: February 7th
Marvin (played by Guan Jiwei) is a senior real estate agent, but there are many unknown secrets behind his career. First of all, he used to be a professional killer. Secondly, he has a brother who is the boss of the gangsters, nicknamed “Brother Fingers” (played by Wu Yanzu).
When the shadow of the past reappeared, when the old partner, old lover and old enemy came to the door together, Marvin’s quiet life came to an end.
The main point of this film is the contrasting Chinese combination of Guan Jiwei and Wu Yanzu: Guan Jiwei is good at being funny and also has a good background in action films; the handsome Wu Yanzu is abnormal and plays a ruthless gangster.
Although Jonathan Ossevio is a director for the first time, his resume as an action director is quite beautiful. For the first time, can he integrate his understanding of martial arts and his love for Hong Kong kung fu films to create a new-era kung fu comedy like ” Jackie Chan meets Keanu”?
“BJ Single Diary 4”
Release date: February 14th
Since the launch of the “BJ Single Diary” series in 2001, Bridget Jones has conquered the audience with her real, clumsy but resonant image.
The fourth part of Valentine’s Day will lead us into a new chapter in Jones’s life. Now she is a single mother raising two children, facing not only responsibilities and difficulties, but also new challenges brought by modern social media and dating software.
The three leading actors, Renee Zelweig, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant, will all return, so some people joked: “This is not a single diary, but a twilight love diary.”
“Sinner”

“Battle of the Cross of Baktan”
Release date: August 8th
Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film is full of mysteries, and even “Battle of Bucktan Cross” may be a temporary title. But with his name and actors like Xiao Li and Sien Pan joining, the film is worth looking forward to.
It is reported that the film is roughly based on Thomas Pinchin’s novel Vineyard. The original work is like Pinqin’s other works, with a vast amount of information, like a huge text maze about California’s history, customs and popular culture. In addition, according to Variety and the Wall Street Journal, the production cost of this film is as high as 115 million or even 140 million US dollars!
“Spy Network Pursuit”
Release date: April 11
Charles (played by Rami Marek) is a cryptographer working for the Central Intelligence Agency. His wife was killed in a terrorist attack. Charles, who was eager for revenge, was determined to train himself to be a field agent and track down the murderer alone…
The film is adapted from the work of the same name by spy novelist Robert Little and directed by British director James Hoss. In 2023, his first full-length film “A Lifetime” was well received, and his years of hard work in the British TV drama industry were also fruitful.
“A Bold and Gorgeous Journey”
Release date: May 9th
The Korean-American director Tian Gaowu (often mistranslated as “Guo Gongda” on the Simplified Chinese network) is one of the hottest independent filmmakers in Hollywood at present. He became famous for producing video papers on image analysis, and then successfully transformed into a director.
“In Columbus” in 2017 and “After Young” in 2021 are both well received. With such works in hand, it is naturally not difficult to understand why his new film can attract Hollywood big names such as Margo Robbie and Colin Farrell (Farre has cooperated with Mingtian Gaowu in “After the Young”). The specific plot of this film is unknown. We only know that it will be a “fantasy romantic story”.
“Forgiveness”
Release date: August 15th
He made a name for herself with “The Night’s Wiket” and “The Daykeeper”, and conquered Hollywood with “Wanted Order”… But these brilliances are the clouds of 20 years ago. After that, Timur Buek Mambetov did not come up with anything of a similar level, but the comedy “Christmas Tree” series became the evergreen tree of the Russian New Year’s Eve program.
Fortunately, “Shang Neng Fan” has never been a problem in the rich Amazon. They like to do this kind of thing of buying a horse’s head with thousands of money, losing money and making money. So there is this “Forgiveness”, which looks very grand but also a little suspicious.
The story unfolds in a dystopian future world. Chris Pratt plays a detective who is accused of murder and tries to prove his innocence – no matter how he is, someone will pay for it anyway.
