January is no longer<\/a> solely the playground for movies studios want to sink. And the start of 2025 is gearing up to be very exciting for people who like fun genre movies.<\/p>\n

Consider the last few years of January releases: In 2023, we got the genre thriller Underwater <\/em>and a fun franchise return in Bad Boys for Life<\/em>; M3GAN<\/a><\/em>, Plane<\/em>, Sick, <\/em>and Missing<\/em>; 2024\u2019s crop included action standouts Mayhem!<\/em> and The Beekeeper<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

But January 2025\u2019s lineup takes the month to a whole new level. There\u2019s Mickey 17<\/a><\/em>, Bong Joon-ho\u2019s sci-fi comedy with Robert Pattinson doing a delightfully weird voice. There\u2019s Den of Thieves 2: Pantera<\/a><\/em>, the follow-up to the LA heist thriller Dirtbag Heat<\/s> Den of Thieves<\/em>, which looks like an absolute blast. (See the new trailer at the top of this story.)<\/p>\n

Steven Soderbergh has a new ghost movie coming out<\/a>! Horror master Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man<\/em>) continues his run through classic monster remakes with Wolf Man<\/a><\/em>! Guy Ritchie, who has been on an absolute heater, has a new action adventure movie<\/a> starring three of his recent collaborators: Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza Gonz\u00e1lez. The Beekeeper<\/em>\u2019s David Ayer<\/a> and Jason Statham are teaming up again on Levon\u2019s Trade<\/em>, an action thriller written by Sylvester Stallone<\/a>. Cameron Diaz is returning to the action-comedy genre, partnering up with Jamie Foxx in Back in Action<\/a><\/em>, a movie from comedy director Seth Gordon with action directed by the great J.J. Perry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

January 2025 at the movies is going to rule. See you there. <\/p>\n
