Scarlett Johansson as skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett in a still from Jurassic World Rebirth, one of our picks of the best Hollywood films to look forward to in summer 2025.

Summer is upon us once again, which in Hong Kong means an onslaught of heat and humidity matched only by what is lining up to be a torrent of sequels, remakes and bona fide blockbusters that will dominate cinema screens between now and the new school year.

Comedies, thrillers, spine-chillers and superhero extravaganzas will be duking it out for our attention, so here is our pick of 15 of the most promising offerings to open in Hong Kong this summer (opening dates are for Hong Kong).

1. F1: The Movie

Director Joseph Kosinski follows Top Gun: Maverick with another tale of ageing thrill-seekers commanding incredibly expensive vehicles at impossibly high speeds.

This time, Brad Pitt plays an over-the-hill Formula One driver who is recruited into Javier Bardem’s struggling team alongside a hot-headed rookie (Damson Idris) in a high-octane drama made in collaboration with the sport’s official governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile. (Opens on June 26)

2. M3GAN 2.0

After the surprise success of Blumhouse’s 2022 sci-fi horror satire M3GAN, the diminutive killer robot receives a notable upgrade in a sequel that promises to be bigger, stronger, faster and probably sillier than its predecessor.
