12 Major Disney Movies Releasing in 2025
Grab your popcorn and forget about making weekend plans. Once February 2025 arrives, almost every studio under the Disney umbrella has a major movie on its way, several of which are guaranteed blockbusters.
Captain America: Brave New World - February 14, 2025
Kicking off both Disney and Marvel Studios' 2025 slate, Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson will finally wield the shield on the big screen in Captain America: Brave New World.

Disney's Snow White - March 21, 2025
Starring Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, Disney's live-action Snow White has been plagued by controversy, largely due to Zegler's comments and Disney's reimagining of the Seven Dwarfs.
If the discourse isn't enough to pique audience interest, Snow White's cast coupled with the film having been written by Barbie's Greta Gerwig, could have a fairy tale ending at the box office.
The Amateur - April 11, 2025
Starring Rami Malek and Superman: Legacy's Rachel Brosnahan, 20th Century's The Amateur is an espionage thriller based on the 1981 book of the same name.
