Walt Disney Studios has confirmed its slate of box office release dates and Disney+ series premiere dates for the 2025 calendar year. The plethora of titles includes long-awaited reboots (like “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”), highly anticipated sequels (like “Avatar: Fire and Ash”), a Pixar animated movie (“Elio”), and several Marvel TV shows (like the returning “Andor” and the brand new “Wonder Man”).
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” which will be the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm / Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm / Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm / The Thing. Even though it’s the first iteration of these characters within the MCU, there have been prior editions of “The Fantastic Four” on the big screen, including in 2005, 2007, and 2015.
As for “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” will it go on to become the fourth James Cameron-directed movie in a row to cross the $2 billion mark at the worldwide box office after “Titanic” (1997), “Avatar” (2009), and “Avatar: The Way of Water” (2022)? All of these projects won Oscars, with “Titanic” even taking home the coveted Best Picture prize. That’s great news for Disney when “Avatar: Fire and Ash” debuts late next year.
