Death Of A Unicorn, Opus And More: A24 Promises A Surprising Slate For 2025 And We’re Seated

After movies like Heretic, Babygirl, We Live In Time, the studio A24 is getting ready for another insane schedule in 2025. From Anne Hathway to Dwayne The Rock Johnson, the makers have big projects lining up in the coming months. While some projects already have their trailers out with some buzz around their release, many are yet to confirm their release day and some are yet to share their plots publicly. Meanwhile, the 2024 release Babygirl is yet to make it to theatres in India and will hopefully find a release in the next few months, aka around the award season.

Let’s begin the year with a look at some of the anticipated releases of 2025 by the same studio;
