After delays from previously announced slates, there are a number of promising Marvel movies releasing in 2025. Marvel Studios kicked off Phase 5 of the MCU in 2023, and a little more than two years later, the MCU timeline will proceed into Phase 6. With the end of the Multiverse Saga approaching, it’s hoped that the Marvel movies coming out in 2025 will be more integral to the overarching story, and/or continue other plot lines established in Phases 4 & 5.

In addition to the MCU movies releasing in 2025, Sony may have a Spider-Man movie hitting theaters. Both studios have at least one film that was pushed from 2024 as a result of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which were resolved in late 2023. Thanks to both Marvel and Sony, there will be plenty of exciting superhero movies for audiences to enjoy – as well as TV shows that will feature some beloved comic book characters. So, here are all the Marvel movies releasing in 2025.

Captain America: Brave New World is the fourth Captain America movie as part of the MCU, but the first led by Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson. Mackie’s character previously debuted in the second Cap movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and went on to become good friends with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). Sam was given the shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame, and properly took on the mantle by the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier TV show. When Captain America: Brave New World releases on Friday, February 14, 2025, it will be Sam Wilson’s first solo movie in the MCU.

Plot details for the movie remain thin, but the Captain America: Brave New World cast includes some returning Marvel characters – one played by a new actor. Following the passing of William Hurt in 2022, Harrison Ford takes on the role of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, who will be President of the U.S. in Brave New World. In addition to Mackie and Ford, the movie stars Danny Ramirez as Joaquín Torres, who takes up the mantle of Falcon, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross and Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns, aka the Leader, a villain from the comics. Actress Shira Haas joins the MCU, reportedly as the Israeli hero Sabra.

Marvel’s Thunderbolts* movie is the first of two team-focused MCU films to release in 2025.

When filming on the movie began, it was confirmed the title is Thunderbolts*, and Marvel chief Kevin Feige refused to explain the meaning of the asterisk. Thunderbolts* releases on Friday, May 2, 2025, taking the MCU’s typical early May release spot.

The Thunderbolts team in Marvel’s 2025 movie will be led by Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). The other confirmed members of the Thunderbolts* movie cast 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, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov aka Taskmaster.

After Disney acquired a number of Fox film and TV assets in 2019, Marvel Studios announced The Fantastic Four movie, which is set to follow one of Marvel’s most well-known teams of superheroes. The Fantastic Four releases on Friday, July 25, 2025, two weeks after James Gunn’s Superman hits theaters. Plot details for the film are not yet known, but official artwork for The Fantastic Four has hinted at a period setting in the 1960s. Since the heroes haven’t previously been mentioned in any MCU projects, it’s been theorized The Fantastic Four will be set in another universe in the MCU multiverse.

What is known is the main cast of The Fantastic Four, which includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards aka 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. Additionally, Julia Garner will play Shalla-Bal aka Silver Surfer and Ralph Ineson will play the planet-devouring Marvel villain Galactus. Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich and Natasha Lyonne have been cast in undisclosed roles.

Marvel’s Blade movie has hit a few snags throughout the course of its development, including some behind the scenes changes to the creative team, which have led to the movie being delayed from its original 2023 date. Currently, Blade is set to be released on Friday, November 7, 2025, with Mahershala Ali playing the titular vampire-hunting Daywalker. Ali’s voice has already appeared in the MCU, with the actor having an uncredited cameo in the Eternals post-credits scene, talking to Dane Whitman about the Ebony Blade, a powerful and magical weapon in the comics.

It’s unclear what the Blade movie will be about, but the latest reports stated Michael Green, who penned the Fox X-Men movie Logan, had been brought in to do the latest rewrite of the script. Lovecraft Country director Yann Demange will direct the Marvel film. In addition to Ali, the Blade movie cast includes Mia Goth and Delroy Lindo. Previously announced cast member Aaron Pierre confirmed he’s no longer in the movie.

The conclusion to Sony’s animated Miles Morales trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, was originally scheduled to release on March 29, 2024. However, the movie was taken off Sony’s release slate in 2023 and a new date hasn’t been announced yet. While it might be possible for the movie to still release in 2024, it’s much more likely Beyond the Spider-Verse will receive a release date in 2025. However, no release date is confirmed at this time.

Following the cliffhanger ending of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Beyond the Spider-Verse is expected to continue the story of Miles Morales, who has been captured by another version of himself, one that became the Prowler. Although Miles’s friend Gwen Stacy has assembled a team of his friends and allies to help her rescue him, he’s also being pursued by Miguel O’Hara aka Spider-Man 2099. Other returning characters expected to appear in Beyond the Spider-Verse include Peter B. Parker, Spider-Punk, Spider-Man India, Spider-Man Noir and Jess Drew’s Spider-Woman.

MCU TV Shows Releasing In 2024

The Television Side Of The MCU Continues On Disney+

Since MCU Phase 4, Marvel Studios has been including TV shows as part of their shared cinematic universe, to differing levels of success. In 2023, it was reported that Marvel was changing the way they produced their television shows, and Disney CEO Bob Iger made a point to say on multiple occasions that Marvel would be slowing down how often they released new shows and movies. Both these changes came after criticisms of rushed TV productions and too many releases in a year.

In 2025, Marvel is set to release at least two live-action MCU TV shows, which will follow characters previously introduced to the franchise. Marvel Animation may also release new seasons of established shows like What If…? season 3 or X-Men ’97 season 2, but those have yet to be announced. For now, here are the currently confirmed Marvel TV shows releasing in 2025.
