Whether you’ve barely caught any films this year or you’re a full-blown movie buff already planning your next cinema outing, the second half of 2025 is shaping up to be an absolute treat. From adrenaline-pumping blockbusters to charming family adventures, the Malaysian cinema scene is set to deliver some seriously unmissable titles. Here’s your guide to the most exciting movies hitting theatres across Malaysia in the months ahead.

High‑impact summer blockbusters

1. Jurassic World: Rebirth

Releasing 3 July 2025

The beloved dinosaur saga roars back with a chilling twist: survivors stranded on an uncharted island uncover a dark secret that may redefine the prehistoric world. Expect electrifying action, cutting‑edge visuals and plenty of dino‑thrills.

2. Superman

Releasing 10 July 2025

Wait, another Superman movie? Yep, you heard that right! Just when you thought the cape had been hung up for good — boom! — another Superman movie is flying into cinemas soon.

Directed by James Gunn (yes, that James Gunn), the new Superman reboot is taking off — with David Corenswet donning the iconic cape. It’s a fresh spin on Clark Kent’s early days, packed with heart, hope and some seriously epic hero moments. Buckle up!

3. The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Releasing 24 July 2025

Marvel’s First Family is back — and this time, it’s an origin story with a cosmic twist. Meet Reed Richards and the gang as they fumble through their early days of toe-tingling powers, family feuds, and universe-sized problems. Buckle up — it’s going to get fantastically weird.

Comedy and family adventures

4. Smurfs

Releasing 17 July 2025

This family-fun revival returns in a vibrant mix of live‑action and CGI. Expect the signature blue mischief, witty dialogue, and colourful mayhem ideal for younger viewers and nostalgia seekers alike.

5. The Bad Guys 2

Releasing 7 August 2025

The Bad Guys are back — wilder, sassier, and more mischievous than ever! DreamWorks reunites its clever crew of criminal critters for another fast-paced, fur-flying caper packed with snappy jokes, daring heists, and enough action to keep the whole family laughing.

Horror & sci‑fi chills

6. 28 Years Later

Releasing 20 June 2025

Danny Boyle is back — and so is the rage. This long-awaited sequel drags us once again into a bleak, post-apocalyptic nightmare where humanity teeters on the edge. Gritty, gripping, and absolutely not for the faint-hearted.

7. M3GAN 2.0

Releasing 26 June 2025

She’s back — and she’s had an upgrade. M3GAN 2.0 returns with sharper tech, darker motives, and a terrifyingly twisted sense of loyalty. If you thought version 1.0 was creepy, just wait. Sci-fi horror fans, this one’s got your name (and face) on it.
