Disney Studios is preparing a pretty exciting and wide-ranging slate of films and TV offerings through 2025 across its powerhouse franchises: Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, and Disney proper. From superhero epics to classic reimaginings and original tales, 2025 is shaping up to be another monumental year for the entertainment behemoth. Here’s a breakdown of what’s hitting in 2025:


January

YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN (Marvel / Disney+ – January 29, 2025)

The year starts with a new Spider-Man series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, on Disney+. A follow-up from what happened in Spider-Man: No Way Home and the whole story of the multiverse, this series follows Peter Parker through his whole new life after heroic events and a balance between a teenager and a superhero. The fans can expect a mix of both, humor and emotional moments, and of course, action.


February

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD (Marvel / Theatrical – February 14, 2025)

This Valentine’s Day is the day Marvel releases Captain America: Brave New World into theaters. Picking up literally from where The Falcon and the Winter Soldier left off, Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Wilson in this new era for Captain America. Expect a high-octane film that follows Sam into the mantle of the new Captain America, an exploration of identity, responsibility, and legacy. More than ever, the stakes are higher in this film, which will be pivotal to the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

WIN OR LOSE (Pixar / Disney+ – February 19, 2025)

It’s set in a high school where, in the lead-up to their softball team’s championship game, each episode focuses on a different character. A very charming look at friendship and competition, even more so at personal growth – a promise of some emotional weight from Pixar, stunning animation, no less.


March

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN (Marvel / Disney+ – March 4, 2025)

After a long wait, Daredevil: Born Again will finally be launched on Disney+ this early March. Charlie Cox is reprising his role as Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer who acts as Daredevil. The series shall explain in full detail the struggle Matt experiences in living a dual life and fighting a powerful new threat in Hell’s Kitchen. As the show is a spiritual successor to the hit Netflix series, fans should be excited for an even darker and more grounded take on the genre of superheroes, full of gripping action and complex characters.

SNOW WHITE (Disney / Theatrical – March 21, 2025)

Disney revisits a classic tale of cartoon magic as it reimagines Snow White into a live-action film directed by Marc Webb, with Rachel Zegler playing the lead of Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. This will probably present new twists in the classic fairy tale, taking into consideration modern sensibilities, yet still retaining the magic of the first. One will enjoy great visuals, great musical performances, and a story that is far more detailed with regards to Snow White.

With Tony Gilroy still holding the reins as showrunner, fans can really look forward to some super-intense, character-driven storylines.


May

THUNDERBOLTS (Marvel / Theatrical – May 2, 2025)

With characters in the mold of Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), and Red Guardian (David Harbour) this action-ensemble adventure into gray areas between good and bad will set the stage for some explosive friction inside the MCU.

LILO & STITCH (Disney / Theatrical – May 23, 2025)

This time around, it’s directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp and starring newcomer Maia Kealoha as Lilo in a live-action/CGI hybrid.
