A24 may not have collected another Best Picture Oscar winner at the 2025 Academy Awards, but Adrien Brody did take home Best Actor for his performance in The Brutalist. The esteemed production and distribution company has plenty of potential masterpieces on the upcoming 2025 movies schedule, and beyond, to look forward to. Take a look at all the next great A24 movies in this guide to the studio's future releases.

Ari Aster produces the fantasy film from writer and director Alex Scharfmann that, according to Variety, was cleared to commence its Hungary production in July 2023 amid the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, since A24 is not AMPTP affiliated.
Warfare (April 11, 2025)
Before the release of Alex Garland's Civil War, A24 announced that the filmmaker had another war movie called Warfare in the works that he co-wrote and co-directed with Ray Mendoza, who was the military supervisor for said dystopian drama.
