Granted, every year and every year is a big year for the science fiction of those days, however, 2025 is especially exciting. Space is expected to be a major theme in Hollywood this year, whether you’re watching in the videos or at home on your non-Vision Public (sorry, TV) account.
Most of the major franchises will be represented, with “Andor”‘s second season taking us back to the grittier corners of that galaxy far, far away, and “Strange New Worlds” season 3 and TV movie “Section 31” representing “Star Trek”‘s final frontier.
In the world of superheroes, “Superman” takes to the skies under the guidance of “Guardians of the Galaxy”‘s James Gunn, while the Fantastic Four finally land in the MCU. And perhaps it’s time to be afraid — very afraid — as Xenomorphs burst into your living room courtesy of new TV show “Alien: Earth.”
Add to that Bong Joon-ho’s “Mickey 17,” a novelty about Predator, and James Cameron’s most recent excursion to Pandora, and the year 2025 is shaping up to be every science fiction fan’s dream come true. So, watch this sky because all those delights are headed your way!
Philippa Georgiou, the renovated dictation of the mirror universe through Michelle Yeoh, the maximum productive thing in “Star Trek: Discovery” and now, after the winning role of the actor’s Oscar in “All everywhere at the same time”, is from Tour to face the page of your own TVILM. “Section 31” turns out to be the reaction of “Trek” to James Bond, while Georgiou, now in the 23rd century, thanks to The Guardian of Forever, is recruited for paintings for the maximum secret organization of the Federation.
Korean director Bong Joon-Ho follows the award-winning film “Parasite” with a black comedy about space. “The Batman” star Robert Pattinson plays the eponymous Mickey, a guy who engages as a “consumable”: basically, every time he dies, he’ll be regenerated into a new body. But things go wrong when Mickey 17 discovers himself in front of his successor. The trailer gives the impression that this is a lot of fun: think of “Moon” with a lot more laughs.
The writer and director of “Guardians of the Galaxy”, James Gunn, has been chosen to direct the new DC studies, and the first big screen of the new era is his interpretation of the most famous son of Krypton, Superman. With a leading role in the first trailer, we expect a much lighter film than “Zack Snyder’s Man of 2013, while Supes tries to square her alien heritage with her education in Kansas. Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hault as Lex Luthor.
Marvel’s first family makes their belated debut in the MCU, aside from the other Reed Richards who appeared in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and there are high hopes that this is a first step forward from their film releases. previous.

Moss-Bachrach. “WandaVision” director Matt Shakman calls the shots.
The galaxy’s greatest hunter got a welcome shot in the arm in 2022, courtesy of back-to-basics prequel “Prey.” Now that movie’s director, Dan Trachtenberg, has the franchise in his sights once again, and he’s planning a massive narrative swerve: in “Badlands” the Predator will be the protagonist, while “The Great”‘s Elle Fanning will play multiple human characters. In other words, this is a great time to be a “Predator” fan — especially with another “secret” movie heading our way.
James Cameron continues his long-standing obsession with Pandora’s remote moon in the third film “Avatar. “After the oceanic action of “The Way of Water,” “Fire and Ash” introduces the new Mangkwan clan, which will show another potentially less friendly aspect to Na’vi. According to Cameron, “I sought to show Na’vi from Angle because, so far, I’ve only shown its intelligent aspects. “
With the last two “avatars” sitting in the top 3 of the most rewarding movies of all time, don’t be surprised if this is the biggest movie of 2025.
Undoubtedly one of the most productive series of “Star Wars”, “Andor” returns for its second and last season at Disney+. The creator/showrunner Tony Gilroy (screenwriter of the films “Bourne”) showed that the series of 12 episodes will continue the story of the agent of the Rebelde Alianza Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) the 4 years before “Rogue One”, revealing how came To be part of the fateful project of this film.

He’ll also have a new Doctor Who companion in the TARDIS, as Varada Sethu — who played a different role, Mundy Flynn, in “Boom” earlier this year — embarks on a series of adventures in space and time as Belinda Chandra. “Snowpiercer”‘s Archie Panjabi is confirmed to play a Doctor Who villain, while former “EastEnders” and “Strictly Come Dancing” star Rose Ayling-Ellis will be “the lead in one episode,” says showrunner Russell T. Davies.
In addition to the last act of “Alien: Resurrection” and the forgotten maximum films “Alien Vs. Predator”, the Xenomorph has defined giving Earth a giant place. Those tweaks with the first televised escape of the Sour Blooded Beasts, while showrunner “Fargo” Noah Hawley struggles to make sure that even when you’re sitting in your living room, everyone can hear you screaming. “Alien: Earth” is set two years before Ridley Scott’s original “Alien,” when an organization of the Infantrymen search for survivors among the wreckage of a crashed spacecraft of unknown origin. As we all know, it’s unlikely to end well. . .
The adventures of Pike, Spock and Corporate on the last border continue in a third season in Seek of New Worlds. The characters arches are largely secret, but the early images showed the return of the evil reptilians, the Gorns and Pike, Uhura, La’an and the chapel remodeled in vulcans.
