Release Date: July 18, 2025
Eddington is the highly anticipated black comedy western from Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster. Set in a rural New Mexico town, the film stars Pedro Pascal as the mayor who comes into conflict with the local sheriff, played by Joaquin Phoenix. The cast also includes Emma Stone as the mayor's wife and the star of Dune: Part Two Austin Butler.
It looks like we're in for some wickedly topical commentary in the spirit of Don't Look Up – but with Aster's signature humor and horror touches.
2. The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Rebooting is always a difficult task, especially at a time when fans are tired of reboots. After two failed attempts, Fantastic Four has finally assembled a strong cast: Pascal is joined by Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
The plot of the new version is transferred to the 1960s. Pascal plays the leader of the team – Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic. This time the heroes have to fight not only the planet-eater Galactus, but also the updated Silver Surfer – this role was played by Julia Garner.

Pedro Pascal won't stop with the Fantastic Four. It's already been confirmed that the actor will return to the big screen in May 2026, when the fifth installment of the Avengers, titled Doomsday, is released.
A large team of superheroes will go into battle with Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. Filming is taking place in the UK and plot details are being kept under wraps.
