IMDb: "Superman" is the most anticipated movie of 2025

Ugh, I try not to be this guy but 7/10 of those movies are remakes/sequels and of the remaining 3 one is the 14th iteration of a character, one is a video game adaptation, and the other is a superhero movie (I assume it ties into the MCU but I can't be fucked to care). I understand you typically get hyped for things you can expect but this list sucks
- Let's be honest, this is a "most anticipated" list. It's expected that people will be anticipating continuations/alterations of stories they know and love.
  It's very hard to anticipate a Keanu Reeves movie about a drunk painter with an underground director.
  
  Absolutely spot on.
  You can't anticipate what you already know.
  Also, if you haven't pitched that Keanu movie, you need an agent. I'm in.
- Not a single original idea.
- Yeah, its the "most anticipated" list so it really just measuring brand recognition.
  
  The top ten box office movies for 2024 had 8 sequels, a live action Disney remake, and the first part of an adaptation of a Broadway musical based on a book which was a prequel to another remade movie based on a book.
  I reckon the 2025 list reflects the state of the industry quite well.
- Rolling Stone has a better list of anticipated movies:

- With you on that. At first I thought the list was some kind of satire...

I'm bookmarking this so that when I'm feeling depressed about my lack of creativity I'll just look at this list.
- Frame it right above the desk and the live laugh lube sign

Truly one of the lists of all time

Yet another example for: popularity doesn't equal quality. I mean there will be more enough money in those movies for a high production value, but what an uninspiring bunch of crap!
- Yeah, serious parallels to the Steam awards.

This is the type of list someone you meet at a party who "loves movies" would give you.
- ....are these not movies?

According to whom? Some marketing employee at IMDB?
- These 10 movies scheduled to release in 2025 were consistently the most popular with IMDb users in 2024, based on data derived from the IMDbPro MOVIEmeter rankings.
  
  So it's based on the completely unbiased opinions of people who pay a premium for some sort of extra content on IMDb, if I'm understanding correctly?

I am literally not interested in any of them 😂

28 Years Later is directed by Danny Boyle, the same director of the original. Alex Garland wrote the original. Garland and Boyle wrote 28 Years together.
I think I’ll give it a chance.
- Have you seen the trailer? It was a very good trailer. I don’t say that often.
  
  I’ve deliberately not watched the trailer to avoid spoilers. Yes, I’m one of those people.

Great. Superhero, remakes, and sequels. Amazing. /s
- Select big studio movies, sort by marketing budget descending

Remake.
Sequel.
Prequel.
Remake.
??? (Ripoff)
Sequel.
Remake.
Sequel.
Shameless money grab. (Oh wait that's all of them)
Sequel.

I'm excited for the new Bong Joon Ho movie Mickey 17

"I can't wait for them to reboot The Fantastic Four again" said nobody ever
- That one literally looks like it’s a joke
  
  It certainly does have an Adult Swim/Sealab vibe to it

I wasn't aware anyone cared about Thunderboltcats or Capt Weaksauce.
- Only curious how bad they'll both be just based on the trailers.
  Well and that Disney plus show
  
  I enjoy a good bombed movie, too.
  I was watching a video earlier about how bad the ADR is in the madam spider movie. It's pretty entertaining.

What is Thunderbolts? Just MCU's version of Suicide Squad?
- Basically, yeah.

I can't believe the only entry on this list that isn't an unnecessary sequel or an extremely unnecessary reboot is a fucking video game movie.
Because those are never trash, right?
People voted for this shit? Or were there just no other choices on the ballot?

ugh, there are like just 2 new movies in that list
- Which 2 are not a remake, sequel or adaptation?

I'm in for 28 Years Later and Mission Impossible but I think the majority of movie lists are just uninspiring and boring.

I'm in for the first two!

What's with the asterisks on Thunderbolts?
- Watch the trailer.
  David Arbor says “We are the THUNDERBOLTS!”
  title screen appears
  The rest of the team indicates they don’t like that name.
  asterisk appears next to the title
- Kevin Feige said we will find out when the movie releases, but fans have already come up with theories.
  No one knows for sure yet.

Looking forward to 1, 2 and 6. The rest aren’t on my radar.
A lot of this stuff capitalizes on our desire for nostalgia. When shit is going bad, you reach for something you know and remember fondly. Capitalism banks on that. That’s why we have so many reboots and sequels. It’s not a bad thing if they’re not obvious cash grabs and you just need a pickup, but it’s also very lazy. It’s another sign that a cultural plateau is where everything is at.
The reality is that the majority of movie viewers want more of what feels safe.
- Just 1 & 2 here. The rest just look like cash-grabs.
  
  I’m looking forward to 6 because I like Anthony Mackie (Twisted Metal was awesome) and want to see how his story goes. The MCU has felt unmoored and that could be a good one in the mix.

Yeah, I wanna see Florence Pugh's sarcastic kickass character, though. I'd watch her and Deadpool be the most cynical trash-talking adversaries over like 7 seasons ... and somehow Phil Coulson is in it too with Fury pulling a Bosley.
Yeah, I'd watch the hell out of that.
