2024 saw a fair number of comic book movies, both animated and live-action, hit theaters. With most of the live-action movies last year were seriously underwhelming, studios are taking a smarter approach in 2025 and focusing on quality over quantity. This year, there are only four comic book movies releasing, but each one is coming into theaters with plenty of hype thanks to their strong trailers, the excitement surrounding them, and their potential to point their respective cinematic universes on a new, fresh path.

Here’s every comic book movie coming to theaters in 2025.
