Ballerina (June 6, 2025)
The much-anticipated Ballerina is a spinoff of the John Wick franchise and follows the character of Rooney, a trained assassin portrayed by Ana de Armas. The film is set in the high-stakes world of professional assassins, but this time, the focus shifts from Keanu Reeves’ character to a young female protagonist. As a former ballerina seeking revenge for the murder of her family, Rooney becomes embroiled in a world of deadly conspiracies and brutal action sequences.
The film’s release has been highly anticipated, partly due to Ana de Armas’ growing popularity after starring in No Time to Die and Blonde. With intense fight choreography, a strong female lead, and ties to the John Wick universe, Ballerina is poised to be a major box office hit. The film promises to deliver the same pulse-pounding action that made the John Wick franchise so beloved, while also introducing fresh and exciting new elements.
How to Train Your Dragon (Live-Action) – June 13, 2025
Fans of the beloved animated How to Train Your Dragon franchise will be thrilled by the live-action adaptation of the first film, set to hit theaters in mid-June 2025. Directed by Dean DeBlois, who helmed the original animated trilogy, this live-action version will bring the world of Berk to life in stunning new ways. The film will follow Hiccup, voiced by Jay Baruchel in the original, and his dragon companion, Toothless, as they form a bond that helps to unite their village and change the course of their world.
This live-action adaptation has been in the works for years, and fans are eager to see how the magical world of dragons and vikings will be realized with modern filmmaking technology. With stunning CGI effects, an all-star cast, and a story that has already captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, How to Train Your Dragon is poised to be one of the summer’s biggest family hits.
The Life of Chuck (June 13, 2025)
Another major release in June is The Life of Chuck, an adaptation of Stephen King’s novella, starring Tom Hiddleston and Chiwetel Ejiofor. The film, directed by the talented Mike Flanagan (known for his work on The Haunting of Hill House and Gerald’s Game), is a deeply emotional and existential journey through the life of a man named Chuck. The film is structured in three acts, each focused on a different stage of Chuck’s life, exploring the human experience and the fleeting nature of time.
With a screenplay written by Flanagan, The Life of Chuck promises to be a meditative, poignant film that will resonate with fans of King’s work who appreciate the author’s introspective storytelling. Fans can expect a deeply moving performance from Hiddleston, whose range has been demonstrated in projects like The Night Manager and Loki. The Life of Chuck offers a stark contrast to the high-octane action films of the summer, providing an emotionally rich experience for moviegoers seeking something more grounded and reflective.
Brad Pitt in F1 (June 27, 2025)
Brad Pitt is back in the driver’s seat in F1, a high-stakes drama centered on the world of Formula 1 racing. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, who previously helmed Top Gun: Maverick, F1 follows an aging Formula 1 champion as he prepares for one final race against a new wave of talented young drivers. The film promises thrilling racing sequences, intense drama, and a closer look at the cutthroat world of competitive motorsport.
Pitt’s involvement in the film has generated significant buzz, as he’s known for taking on challenging and physically demanding roles. With his undeniable star power and Kosinski’s knack for intense action, F1 is set to be a massive hit for fans of sports dramas and high-adrenaline thrills.
Seasonal Releases: TV and Streaming
June also brings plenty of content to streaming platforms, including the highly anticipated third season of Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia, which will be available starting June 5. This coming-of-age drama, centered on the complicated relationship between a mother and daughter, has become a fan favorite since its debut in 2021.
Additionally, the documentary Titan: The Oceangate Disaster, set to release on June 11, will explore the tragic implosion of the Titanic submersible and the lives lost in the disaster.
