2024 was quite the year for movie releases and we're delighted that the 2025 roster is shaping up the same way.

From Jonathan Bailey taking on two very different roles in Jurassic Park Rebirth and Wicked: Part Two to a host of Irish stars conquering the world of cinema once more in films like Bring Them Down and F1, there's something for everyone coming to the big screen.

Today's top videos

Here are some of the biggest film releases we're looking forward to in the coming months:

Nicole Kidman's upcoming 'erotic thriller' Babygirl is one to add to your watchlist, and it's perhaps her raciest role yet!

The Australian actress plays Romy, a powerful business exec living in New York, who begins an affair with her much younger intern Samuel, played by Harris Dickinson.

The film's official synopsis reads: 'A high-powered CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern.'

Viewers will get to see Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson in, err... action, on January 10.

Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon have joined forces for a new comedy film titled You're Cordially Invited.

A synopsis for the film reads: 'A bride (Geraldine Viswanathan) and her father (Will Ferrell) discover their dream wedding venue has been double booked for another bride (Meredith Hagner) and her wedding-planner sister (Reese Witherspoon), with hilarious consequences.'

Mark your calendars: It drops on Amazon Prime Video on January 30.
