As 2025 approaches, a slew of exciting new movies featuring big-name stars are on the horizon. Although 2024 was a quiet year for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie, 2025 promises to be a busy year for them.
One of the most anticipated movies of the year is The Battle of Baktan Cross, which pairs DiCaprio with director Paul Thomas Anderson. Anderson is known for bringing out the best in his actors, and DiCaprio could be the ideal lead for his style. Although details about the movie are scarce, rumors suggest it may be an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland.
Another highly anticipated movie is Love Hurts, starring Ke Huy Quan, who won an Oscar for his supporting role in Everything Everywhere All at Once. The movie, set to be released in time for Valentine’s Day, blends romance, action, and humor and features Quan’s martial arts skills.
Margot Robbie will star in Bugonia, an English-language remake of Jang Joon-hwan’s Save the Green Planet!, alongside Jesse Plemons and Alicia Silverstone. The movie follows a pharmaceutical company CEO who gets kidnapped by a pair of conspiracy theorists.
Lily Gladstone, who received an Oscar nomination for her role in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, is set to star in Andrew Ahn’s new romantic comedy The Wedding Banquet, a remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 hit. The movie follows a bisexual Taiwanese man living in New York City who enters into a sham marriage with a Chinese woman to fool his parents.
Finally, Denzel Washington will team up with Spike Lee for a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s police drama High and Low, retitled Highest 2 Lowest. The movie will be set in modern-day New York City and will star Washington as a business executive facing a moral dilemma.
These are just a few of the many exciting movies to look forward to in 2025. With big-name stars and talented directors behind the lens, it promises to be a year to remember for moviegoers.
