2025 is shaping up to be a blockbuster year, with films that are not only likely to dominate box offices but also spark significant merchandise opportunities, and theatrical events. The year kicks off with a mix of thrilling reboots and fresh franchises.
January sees Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man—a fresh take on the classic monster genre—and Back in Action, starring Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx, adding star power to the early months.
By February, superhero films dominate the calendar, with Captain America: Brave New World launching Anthony Mackie’s first full solo outing as the shield-bearing hero. This Marvel release is expected to drive significant merchandise sales, particularly in action figures and collectibles tied to the superhero genre.
Superman: Legacy, directed by James Gunn, is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. With David Corenswet stepping into the role of Clark Kent, this reboot is expected to reshape the DC Universe and will likely generate strong merchandise demand, from action figures to apparel.
Jurassic World: Rebirth continues the dinosaur saga with Scarlett Johansson joining the franchise. With its star power and the ongoing appeal of the Jurassic brand, retailers can anticipate a surge in demand for collectibles and toys as the movie adds new depth to the franchise’s mythology.
March introduces Snow White, a live-action reimagining with Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot in the lead, sparking interest in both family-friendly and fantasy-themed merchandise. The long-awaited Fantastic Four: Rebirth will also drive demand for action figures, while Tron: Ares is set to reignite nostalgia and boost merchandise sales for the sci-fi franchise.
Summer will see Superman: Legacy and Jurassic World: Rebirth dominate, pushing collectibles and apparel sales further. A Minecraft movie is expected to capture a younger audience, while the return of Avatar: Fire and Ash and Wicked: For Good will keep merchandise in high demand through the fall.
For retailers, the upcoming movie slate represents not only a chance to tap into major box office events but also an opportunity to refresh your merchandise offerings with branded products, movie tie-ins, and exclusive collectibles.
