5 New Movies You Need to Watch in March 2025

If you’ve been looking for some fresh new movies that aren’t simple rehashes, sequels, or franchise entries, you’re in luck. March brings some interesting new releases to indulge in; and we’ve rounded up the top 5 that we think you should keep on your radar:

Mickey 17

Release date: 7 March 2025

Coming from Snowpiercer director Bong Joon-ho, Mickey 17 is an awesome-looking sci-fi comedy that follows a disposable worker who is regenerated every time he dies doing dangerous jobs. However, his new body includes his old memories, which leads him to start questioning his existence. The film stars Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.

Cleaner

Release date: 14 March 2025

Star Wars‘ Daisy Ridley stars in this action flick clearly inspired by Die Hard. Set in present-day London, a group of radical activists take over an energy company’s annual gala, seizing 300 hostages in order to expose the corruption of the hosts. It falls to an ex-soldier turned window cleaner, played by Ridley, suspended 90 storeys up on the outside of the building, to save those trapped inside, including her younger brother.

In the Lost Lands

Release date: 14 March 2025

In the Lost Lands is a fantasy sci-fi movie based on a short story by Game of Thrones‘ George R.R. Martin. It’s directed by Paul W.S. Anderson who helmed the Resident Evil films with his wife Milla Jovovich (who also stars), so expect that type of slow-mo, action vibe. Dave Bautista joins Jovovich and the two play a mysterious hunter and witch respectively, who have to team up to fight some horrifying creatures as they try to hunt down an artifact.

Novocaine

Release date: 21 March 2025

Starring The Boys‘ Jack Quaid, Novocaine is a kind of street-level superhero flick much like Kickass. When the girl of his dreams gets kidnapped, a man (Quaid) turns his inability to feel pain into an unexpected advantage as he fights a bunch of thugs to get her back. Prey‘s Amber Midthunder also stars and this one looks like it could be a sleeper-hit in 2025.

A Working Man

Release date: 28 March 2025

Jason Statham has been a transporter, a beekeeper, a shark-hunting marine biologist, and now he’s just… a working man. Jokes aside, A Working Man doesn’t break the mould of other Statham action flicks, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. He plays Levon Cade, an ex-Royal Marines commando who leads a peaceful life as a construction worker. However, Levon is forced to use his old set of skills to find his boss’ teenage daughter Jenny, who had been kidnapped by human traffickers.
