Disney's Live-Action Snow White — Stream on Disney+

Disney
Following The Little Mermaid, the next live Disney movie was Snow White. Disney put a new spin on the classic story, and our titular leading lady is played by Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes star Rachel Zegler. I loved this movie and all the new songs.

Lorenzo Sisti/Amazon Studios
After we see Blake Lively's It Ends With Us, she returned to the Paul Feig universe with Anna Kendrick in this 2025 movie. The first A Simple Favor is one of my favorite movie experiences ever, and the sequel is just as wacky.

Superman — Stream on HBO Max

Warner Bros. Pictures
The elements of this 2025 movie might sound familiar — Smallville, Kryptonite, and Clark Kent's family relationships — but this isn't your average origin story. It looks like the cast had a ton of fun filming Superman, and it's a blast to watch.

Fantastic Four — Stream on Disney+

Marvel Studios
My most-anticipated 2025 movie was, without a doubt, The Fantastic Four. I've always loved this quartet (probably thanks to my love for Chris Evans in the original 2005 film), and the MCU put their own spin on the story. It was a pretty steady introduction to Marvel's first family and I hope they get to continue to build their relationships!
The Fantastic Four stars Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Vanessa Kirby.
