Below is a comprehensive list of all the Marvel movies that will be hitting theaters in 2025.

Exciting Release of Thunderbolts on May 2, 2025

Marvel Unites a Team of Antiheroes for an Epic Adventure

Marvel’s Thunderbolts* is the first of two ensemble-focused MCU films scheduled for 2025. This film will bring together characters from previous MCU films who have often walked the line of morality, uniting them under the leadership of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. When production commenced, the title was confirmed as Thunderbolts*, and Marvel chief Kevin Feige has remained tight-lipped about the significance of the asterisk. Thunderbolts* is set to debut on Friday, May 2, 2025, occupying the traditional early May release window favored by the MCU.

The Thunderbolts team in Marvel’s 2025 film will be spearheaded by Bucky Barnes, also known as The Winter Soldier, played by Sebastian Stan. Other confirmed cast members for the Thunderbolts* film include Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova (aka Black Widow), Wyatt Russell as John Walker (aka U.S. Agent), David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov (aka Red Guardian), Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr (aka Ghost), and Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov (aka Taskmaster).

A sneak peek at Thunderbolts* was unveiled at D23 Brazil, showcasing the intricate character dynamics that will unfold in the film, along with hints about the storyline. The trailer suggests that Bucky is on a mission to gather several team members. Yelena Belova appears to be a central figure in the film, focusing on themes of seeking purpose and reconciling with her past.

The Fantastic Four: Marvel’s First Family Returns on July 25, 2025

Marvel’s Iconic Superheroes Join the MCU

Following the acquisition of various Fox film and TV properties in 2019, Marvel Studios officially announced the production of The Fantastic Four movie, which will spotlight one of Marvel’s most iconic superhero teams. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to premiere on Friday, July 25, 2025, just two weeks after the release of Superman directed by James Gunn. The initial promotional artwork for The Fantastic Four: First Steps hints at a 1960s period setting. Since this superhero team has not been previously referenced in any MCU projects, it is speculated that the events of The Fantastic Four will unfold within an alternate universe in the MCU multiverse.

As for the main cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, it includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (also known as Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (aka The Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (aka The Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (aka The Thing). Moreover, Julia Garner will portray Shalla-Bal (aka Silver Surfer), while Ralph Ineson will take on the role of the formidable cosmic villain, Galactus. Additional cast members including Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne have been cast in undisclosed roles.

Given that Robert Downey Jr. is set to portray Doctor Doom in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, there is a possibility that he may also make an appearance in The Fantastic Four: First Steps prior to these films. However, with Galactus and Silver Surfer both included in the plot, the presence of Doctor Doom might feel overwhelming, especially with the highly anticipated return of Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU.
