IMDb's Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2025

Ugh, I try not to be this guy but 7/10 of those movies are remakes/sequels and of the remaining 3 one is the 14th iteration of a character, one is a video game adaptation, and the other is a superhero movie (I assume it ties into the MCU but I can't be fucked to care). I understand you typically get hyped for things you can expect but this list sucks
Let's be honest, this is a "most anticipated" list. It's expected that people will be anticipating continuations/alterations of stories they know and love.
It's very hard to anticipate a Keanu Reeves movie about a drunk painter with an underground director.
Absolutely spot on.
You can't anticipate what you already know.
Also, if you haven't pitched that Keanu movie, you need an agent. I'm in.
Not a single original idea.
Yeah, its the "most anticipated" list so it really just measuring brand recognition.
The top ten box office movies for 2024 had 8 sequels, a live action Disney remake, and the first part of an adaptation of a Broadway musical based on a book which was a prequel to another remade movie based on a book.
I reckon the 2025 list reflects the state of the industry quite well.
It shows how much brand recognition drives the industry at that level (top 10s).
I'm not helping, reflecting on last year we saw the following in cinemas:
- Paddington in Peru
- Sonic the Hedgehog 3
- Moana 2
- Dragon Ball DAIMA
- Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
- Despicable Me 4
- Inside Out 2
- The Garfield Movie
Not a new IP in the list.
Rolling Stone has a better list of anticipated movies:
