Here are the movies to keep on your radar in November.
November brings with it some hot end-of-year movies to indulge in, including some long-awaited franchise entries, reboots, and exciting new horrors. Here’s what you need to check out this month:
Predator: Badlands
Release date: 7 November 2025
Coming from Dan Trachtenberg, who directed 2022’s Prey, Predator Badlands takes a new spin on the Predator formula, offering up the notorious hunting-alien as the protagonist of the film. Badlands stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, and is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator (Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
Coyotes
Release date: 14 November 2025
There have been some great horror-comedies lately, and Coyotes could be another winner. Starring Justin Long and Kate Bosworth, the film follows two wealthy individuals trapped in their Hollywood Hills home due to a fire, but the real danger is a pack of savage coyotes circling in.
Now You See Me, Now You Don’t
Release date: 14 November 2025
The magic-heist franchise is back with a third instalment. This time, the Four Horsemen reunite to recruit three skilled illusionists for a high-stakes heist involving the theft of the world’s largest queen diamond from a powerful family crime syndicate.
The Running Man
Release date: 14 November 2025
A remake of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger original, The Running Man stars Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) as a man who enters a deadly competition where contestants must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. This reboot is directed by Edgar Wright (Baby Driver), which should make for a fun tone.
Keeper
Release date: 21 November 2025
After Longlegs and The Monkey, Osgood Perkins has fast become one of the most interesting horror directors, and his latest film, Keeper, sees a couple isolating themselves in a cabin in the woods until an unexpected evil creeps in. The less you know, the better.
Sisu: Road to Revenge
Release date: 21 November 2025
The original Sisu was basically a World War II-themed John Wick, and the sequel is finally here, bringing back Jorma Tommila as Aatami Korpi, “the man who refuses to die”. When the Red Army discovers Korpi’s arrival on their soil, Igor Draganov (Stephen Lang), the man who killed his family, comes back hellbent on finishing the job: kill the legendary ex-soldier by any means necessary.
Zootopia 2
Release date: 28 November 2025
Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman reprise their voice roles in this Disney sequel. As detectives Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, they find themselves on the twisting trail of a mysterious reptile who turns the mammal metropolis of Zootopia upside down.
