What Did Disney Kick Off the CinemaCon 2025 Panel With?

The presentation started with a bang—or rather, a stitch! A playful sizzle reel featured Stitch from Lilo & Stitch crashing into clips from upcoming Disney films like The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Thunderbolts*, Tron: Ares, and Elio.

This mischievous opener set a fun tone, reminding fans of Disney’s knack for blending nostalgia with innovation.

Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Alan Bergman took the stage to welcome the crowd, hyping up the studio’s box office dominance—half of all billion-dollar films globally come from Disney!

Andrew Cripps, Head of Theatrical Distribution, followed, emphasizing the magic of the theatrical experience and unveiling a montage from the live-action Lilo & Stitch, set to hit theaters May 23, 2025.

Which Live-Action Remakes Stole the Spotlight?

Disney’s live-action slate shone brightly at CinemaCon 2025. The live-action Lilo & Stitch got a full scene reveal, showing Nani (Sydney Elizebeth Agudong) bringing Lilo (Maia Kealoha) and Stitch to her workplace.

Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, this touching tale of a lonely Hawaiian girl and her alien pal promises to blend humor and heart.

Next up, Freakier Friday brought Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis onstage to unveil an extended trailer.

This sequel to the beloved Freaky Friday sees Anna (Lohan) navigating life with a daughter and stepdaughter-to-be, only to discover lightning can indeed strike twice. It’s slated for August 8, 2025, and looks set to deliver double the body-swap fun.

What Marvel Madness Was Revealed?

Marvel Studios didn’t hold back at CinemaCon 2025. Thunderbolts* roared in with stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Florence Pugh, and Wyatt Russell arriving in a Red Guardian-themed limo driven by David Harbour. Set for May 2, 2025, this antihero team-up teased a dangerous mission confronting their dark pasts.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps, releasing July 25, 2025, dropped a bombshell: Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) is pregnant! This twist adds emotional depth to Marvel’s First Family as they face Galactus and Silver Surfer.

Kevin Feige also hinted via video that Avengers: Doomsday (2026) will unite the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, Wakandans, and X-Men against Doctor Doom—though the full cast remains under wraps.

What’s New from Pixar and Walt Disney Animation?

Pixar’s Elio (June 20, 2025) got a cosmic boost with exclusive footage of its space-faring misadventure. Meanwhile, Zootopia 2 (November 24, 2025) turned CinemaCon into “ZinemaCon” with Jason Bateman’s Nick Wilde delivering animal-themed puns.

Ke Huy Quan introduced his character, Gary the Snake, and revealed Quinta Brunson as Dr. Fuzzby, a quokka therapist. Two extended scenes showed Judy Hopps and Nick tackling their trickiest case yet.

What Sci-Fi and Thriller Surprises Await?

Tron: Ares (October 10, 2025) dazzled with a “grid” light show and an extended trailer featuring Jared Leto and Jeff Bridges. This third Tron installment follows a sophisticated AI program entering the real world on a high-stakes mission.

On the thriller front, The Amateur (April 11, 2025) offered a tense clip starring Rami Malek as a CIA cryptographer hunting terrorists. Meanwhile, Predator: Badlands (November 7, 2025) saw Elle Fanning tease a futuristic hunt alongside a young Predator outcast.

Also, Ella McCay (September 2025) saw Jamie Lee Curtis and Emma Mackey introduce James L. Brooks’ latest comedy, earning Brooks a Cinema Vérité Award.
