Glen Powell will be sprinting into theaters next Thanksgiving. Paramount announced a slew of release dates for its upcoming film slate, led by Edgar Wright’s reboot of The Running Man starring Powell.

The Running Man will be released theatrically on November 21, 2025. The film faces tough competition at the box office as it opens against Wicked: Part Two and a Warner Bros. event movie.

The Running Man is based on Stephen King’s 1982 dystopian novel of the same name. Set in 2025, The Running Man follows Ben Richards, a man who, in need of money, signs up to appear on The Running Man, a deadly game show that promotes violence and murder. Powell will star as Richards in the remake.

The Running Man was previously adapted into a 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film received mixed reviews but has since developed a cult-like status. Wright’s adaptation is reportedly more faithful to King’s novel than the Schwarzenegger-led movie.

In addition to The Running Man, Paramount also assigned new release dates to several of their projects. The Naked Gun reboot moves from July 18, 2025, to August 1, 2025. Liam Neeson stars as Detective Frank Drebin, the character made famous by Leslie Nielsen in previous iterations. Akiva Schaffer will direct, while Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins will produce.

An untitled Smurfs animated musical from Chris Miller has been pushed back from February 14, 2025, to July 18, 2025. The voice cast includes Rihanna, James Corden, Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Octavia Spencer, Hannah Waddingham, Sandra Oh, Kurt Russell, and John Goodman.

Additionally, Vicious, Bryan Bertino’s horror film starring Dakota Fanning, moves up from August 8, 2025, to February 28, 2025.

Paramount made one major change to its 2024 schedule. September 5, a riveting drama about ABC Sports’ TV coverage of the 1972 Munich Olympic hostage crisis, will receive a limited release on November 29, 2024, before expanding on December 13, 2024. Paramount is hoping September 5 can sneak into the 2024 awards race.

10 years ago, Disney released the most underrated Marvel superhero movie ever
A blimp soars above the clouds in Big Hero 6.

The superhero genre has become remarkably overcrowded over the last 15 years. The Marvel Cinematic Universe and Christopher Nolan-led redefining of the genre in the late 2000s and early 2010s paved the way for an era of Hollywood dominated by movie characters in capes and villains with world-ending plans. Whether that era is still going is up for debate, but it led to a few years there — roughly 2014-2023 — where superhero movies and TV shows genuinely felt like they were everywhere, and sometimes to a suffocating degree. That doesn't mean, however, that certain superhero films haven't fallen through the cracks here and there over the past 10 years.

Joker: Folie à Deux actor says he was in the worst film ever made
Joker sits at a table while Harley Quin sits behind him.

It's fair to say that Joker: Folie à Deux did not receive the same kind of warm reception as its predecessor. The movie was a flop both critically and commercially, and now, one of the actors who appeared in the film is publicly trashing it. Comedian Tim Dillon, who has a small role in the film, recently called it "the worst film ever made" during a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience.

“I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like, ‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage! Nihilism!’ All these think pieces,” he explained. “And then I think [they said], ‘What if we went the other way,’ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing to a point where it’s insane.”
