Disney may have slowed down on superhero and live-action remakes in 2024, but it is doubling down on its popular franchises in 2025.
Only two of Disney's 12 releases this year are not sequels or remakes. In the past two years, Disney and other major studios have shifted to focus more on sequels and existing franchises.
That plan seemed to work in 2024, with the top 20 highest-grossing films being sequels, remakes, or adaptations.
Disney now owns the rights to a slate of properties from Pixar, Disney Animation, Searchlight, 20th Century Fox, Lucasfilm, and Marvel. Here are all the movies coming in 2025 from those studios.
"Captain America 4" is the first Marvel release of 2025 and follows from the 2021 Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier."
Now, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) is Captain America, Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) is his Falcon sidekick, and General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (Harrison Ford) has become president of the US.
This time, Wilson is facing three villains. Ross, who has somehow become a red Hulk, The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson), who last appeared in 2008's "The Incredible Hulk," and Sidewinder (Giancarlo Esposito), a new villain who seems to be leading a new secret society.

"Snow White," which has already received multiple fan backlashes, will arrive in theaters in March.
The live-action remake stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White, who is trying to save herself and the kingdom from the reign of the Evil Queen (Gal Gadot).
The film includes new songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the composers of "The Greatest Showman" and "La La Land."
Rami Malek stars in this espionage thriller as a CIA decoder who goes rogue to find and assassinate a group of terrorists who killed his wife during a terror attack in London.
The film is based on Robert Littell's 1981 novel "The Amateur," which was set in the 1970s during the Cold War, but the film seems to have modernized the story.
Laurence Fishburne, Rachel Brosnahan, and Jon Bernthal also star in the film.
"Thunderbolts*" will be the next Marvel team-up movie, bringing together characters from "Black Widow," "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp."
This team is made up of former and current criminals and assassins β Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Red Guardian (David Harbour), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) and Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen).
When these individuals are sent on the same mission and encounter another superpowered person, Robert Reynolds (Lewis Pullman), they must work together to survive and save the day.
"Lilo & Stitch" is the second Disney live-action remake coming in 2025, as the studio uses CGI to bring the blue, furry, deadly alien to life.
The original film focused on an unlikely bond between Stitch, an indestructible lab-created alien, and Lilo, an orphaned child living with her sister.
The plot for the remake has not been revealed yet. Chris Sanders returns as Stitch's voice actor. Maia Kealoha plays Lilo, Sydney Elizabeth Agudong plays Lilo's sister Nani, and Kaipo Dudoit plays David Kawena, Nani's love interest.
Pixar's only film of 2025 is "Elio," an original film about an 11-year-old boy who becomes Earth's ambassador to a galaxy of aliens.
Adrian Molina, who cowrote and codirected "Coco," will direct "Elio," and the film stars Yonas Kibreab, Zoe SaldaΓ±a, America Ferrera, Jameela Jamil, and Brad Garrett.
"The Fantastic Four" is getting its second reboot, 20 years after the first live-action adaptation and 10 years after the first reboot.
For the first time, the Fantastic Four will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though the movie will be set in an alternate universe from the rest of the film.
In "First Steps," The Fantastic Four (played by Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach) is on a mission to protect Earth from Galactus (Ralph Ineson), a giant world-eating alien, and his herald, the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner).
The film is directed by Matt Shakman, the director of the "Wandavision" Disney+ series, and will also star Natasha Lyonne, Sarah Niles, Paul Walter Hauser, and John Malkovich.

Since 2022, Jamie Lee Curtis has been campaigning for a sequel to "Freaky Friday," a 2003 Disney film in which she and Lindsay Lohan play a feuding mother and daughter who magically switch bodies and learn to respect one another.
Curtis finally gets her wish this year, and she and Lohan will return as Tess and Anna Coleman in the sequel "Freakier Friday." In the sequel, Anna (Lohan) now has her own family complications with her daughter, her fiancΓ©e and a soon-to-be step-daughter.
The sequel will also star Manny Jacinto, Chad Michael Murray, Mark Harmon, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Stephen Tobolowsky.
While the first two "Tron" films were stories about a human entering a virtual reality world, the upcoming "Tron: Ares" is about an AI entering the real world and causing havoc.
Jared Leto plays the AI, Ares, while Jeff Bridges, who starred in the previous films, reprises his role as programmer Kevin Flynn.
Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Andersen, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Hasan Minhaj will also star in the movie.
In 2022, Dan Trachtenberg directed "Prey," a direct-to-streaming "Predator" prequel that garnered critical and fan acclaim and won an Emmy for sound editing. Now, Disney is giving him the reins to lead another "Predator" film that will be in theaters.
Trachtenberg told Empire in November 2024 that "Predator: Badlands" is set in the far future and will have Predator, who is normally the villain in movies, as the protagonist. He also said that Elle Fanning will play more than one character in the film.
Disney's "Zootopia" is an Oscar-winning film that grossed a billion dollars when it premiered in 2016.
In the sequel, Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), a rabbit cop, and her friend Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a con artist fox, team up again to crack a new case in the animal city of Zootopia.
Shakira, Ke Huy Quan, and Fortune Feimster will also star in the movie.
The first two "Avatar" movies are among the highest-grossing of all time, making over $5 billion.
The film, cowritten and directed by James Cameron, was filmed simultaneously with "Avatar: The Way of the Water" but was delayed until 2025.
The full plot has not been released, but it will likely follow Jake Sully and his family again on a new adventure. It will star the main cast from the previous film, including Sam Worthington, Zoe SaldaΓ±a, Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang.
After nearly a week of wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, the area is bearing down for more high winds on Monday that threaten to spread the flames even further.
The fires have burned through more than 40,000 acres in Los Angeles County, displaced hundreds of thousands of residents, and killed at least 24 people. More than 12,300 structures have been destroyed, local authorities have said.
Firefighters made some progress containing the blazes over the weekend β the Palisades Fire, the largest, is 14% contained, and the Eaton Fire, the second-largest, is 33% contained as of Monday morning, according to Cal Fire, a state agency.
But high winds are forecast to pick up again Monday and Tuesday, with gusts up to 70 miles an hour creating "extremely dangerous fire weather conditions" across coastal southern California, the National Weather Service said.
The NWS issued a "particularly dangerous situation red flag warning" for parts of Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties through Wednesday. The red flag warning signals fire danger. Though the winds aren't expected to reach the same highs as last week, they still pose "a high risk for large fires with potential for very rapid spreading of any fires that may develop."
The fires are predicted to become the worst natural disaster in US history, and the death toll will likely rise, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Sunday.
"I think it will be in terms of just the costs associated with it, in terms of the scale and scope," Newsom told NBC's Meet the Press. "I've got search-and-rescue teams out. We've got cadaver dogs out. And there's likely to be a lot more."
Around 92,000 people near the Palisades and Eaton fires are under evacuation orders, and another 89,000 are under evacuation warnings, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said at a Monday morning press conference.
The Palisades Fire in the Pacific Palisades area north of Santa Monica has burned through over 23,700 acres and was 14% contained as of Monday morning, according to Cal Fire.
The cause of the fire, which started on Tuesday morning, is still under investigation. It threatens to spread into Brentwood, Encino, and Westwood.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office has reported eight deaths tied to the Palisades fire so far.
The Eaton Fire, which has devastated parts of Pasadena and Altadena since it began on Tuesday, has now burned through more than 14,100 acres, according to Cal Fire. It is 33% contained as of Monday morning.
"In my career, I've never seen the amount of devastation and destruction that exists here. So, a lot of work. It's going to be long-term," Ernie Villa, an operations section chief for the California Interagency Incident Management Team, said at a Sunday press conference.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office has reported 16 deaths tied to the Eaton fire so far.
