:0:1

After a slower 2024, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the new DC Universe have everything set to make a splash in 2025. Marvel fans have become used to making multiple visits to theaters during the year as major MCU films are released. However, even though Deadpool & Wolverine became one of the best movies in the MCU, it was the franchise"s only theatrical release in 2024. Thankfully, Marvel has quite the slate of upcoming projects to make up for the slim year.
As for the DC side of things, 2024 saw James Gunn"s DC Universe start in earnest. After many projects were announced a couple of years ago, the first of them, Creature Commandos, was released. The positive reception to the TV-MA animated series helped the DCU start on the right foot, but this year will make or break the franchise. With many moving parts, here are the reasons why 2025 should be the biggest year for the MCU and DC in quite some time.
10 The MCU Bounces Back With 3 Movies Deadpool & Wolverine Had To Do Some Heavy Lifting Close Starting the list is the MCU"s movie slate, which features some nice variety in 2025. Deadpool & Wolverine broke several records, finishing its worldwide box office run with $1.3 billion. That allowed Marvel to coast through 2024 despite only having a movie released. However, 2025 is a packed year for the MCU, which will see Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
2025"s MCU movies will introduce exciting new characters to the MCU, like the Fantastic Four, Red Hulk, Sentry, and more.
There is a little bit for everyone, with a grounded thriller, a team-up movie featuring anti-heroes, and the first time Marvel"s First Family is expected to get the film it deserves. 2025"s MCU movies will introduce exciting new characters to the MCU, like the Fantastic Four, Red Hulk, Sentry, and more. The films will also expand the franchise in terms of worldbuilding, as the Fantastic Four come from another universe, Eternals" Tiamut will finally be explored, and what happened to Avengers Tower will be revealed.
9 David Corenswet’s Superman Debuts In The First DCU Movie The DCU Depends On The Man Of Steel Close While Marvel Studios will release three movies in 2025, James Gunn"s DC Universe only has one on the way. However, it is not a movie superhero fans will want to miss. David Corenswet"s Superman takes to the skies in July, kickstarting the DCU in a major way after Gunn"s Creature Commandos served as an appetizer of what the franchise has to offer.

The last Superman solo movie was Henry Cavill"s Man of Steel, released in 2013. After more than a decade, Superman will finally lead another solo entry, and it just so happens that other DCU heroes and villains will debut to help build out this shared universe. After a period with a darker Superman in the DCEU, Gunn"s reboot of the Man of Steel seems to focus on how the hero can turn a skeptical world around and bring hope back, which is pure Superman.
8 Marvel Studios Will Release Its First TV-MA Animated Series Disney+'s What If...? Set Up A Bloody Event Close Marvel Studios has started to experiment more since the Multiverse Saga began. While that has not always worked out well for the studio, with projects like Eternals bombing, Marvel has found more success as of late. Deadpool & Wolverine and Echo showed that more mature offerings can come to the MCU and be embraced by fans and critics. Marvel will continue with those types of projects in 2025, and there is an exciting twist.
A version of Blade serves as the universe"s Moon Knight in Marvel Zombies.
Echo was Marvel Studios" first TV-MA series, while Deadpool & Wolverine was its first R-rated movie. This year, Marvel Zombies will be the franchise"s first TV-MA animated series. The project continues the universe set up in a What If...? season 1 episode. Marvel Zombies can show a violent new side of the MCU full of superheroes, as recent MCU characters, like Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop, go up against zombie versions of the Scarlet Witch, Ikaris, Captain America, and more.
7 Daredevil: Born Again Continues The Story Of The Best Live-Action Marvel TV Show Charlie Cox's MCU Streak Continues Into 2025 Close Daredevil: Born Again was once going to be more of a legal procedural than a superhero series. However, much like its title suggests, the MCU series went through a creative overhaul and is now much more tied to the original Netflix Daredevil series. That connection happens through the new show"s tone, which is said to be even more intense than Netlfix"s Daredevil at times, and much more.
Initially, Foggy Nelson and Karen Page were reportedly not going to appear. Images of the two alongside Charlie Cox"s Daredevil have already been released, showing the beloved trio back together. More Netflix characters will also appear, with Jon Bernthal"s Punisher return being one of the MCU"s most exciting events in 2025. After a bout of supporting roles and cameos, Cox"s Matt Murdock is ready to take center stage again, and if Daredevil: Born Again is as good as the Netflix series, it should become Marvel Studios" best TV show.
6 Spider-Man 4, Avengers: Doomsday & More Begin Filming Not Every Major 2025 Marvel & DC Moment Happens On A Screen Close There are going to be 12 MCU and DC projects in 2025, counting movies, TV shows, and animated series. However, many of the year"s most exciting events will not be happening in any of those but on sets. After the 2023 Hollywood strikes delayed many movies and TV shows, Marvel and DC have some catching up to do. The delays have led to 2025 being a year when many high-profile projects film at the same time.
