LIST: New movies and TV shows to watch in March
Now that February is officially in the rearview mirror, it's time to update your watchlist for some new films and television shows coming this March 2025.
Whether you want to go to the cinemas to enjoy the big screen or just chill at home with some snacks, it's always good to forget about the real world and immerse yourself in fiction for an hour or two.
Without further ado, here are some films and series that will be making their debut this March in the Philippines. Release dates below may still be subject to change.
Ne Zha 2
Ne Zha 2 took the world by storm by becoming the fastest-grossing animated film, beating Disney's Inside Out 2 in less than three weeks of release. This was certainly a milestone worthy of praise, as the film didn't do much to market itself outside of its home turf in China.
But what exactly is the film about?
A sequel to the 2019 fantasy adventure film of the same name, Ne Zha 2 centers on the popular Chinese mythological characters Ne Zha and Ao Bing. After having their bodies destroyed by heavenly lightning in the last film, they are now surviving as spirits.
Ne Zha’s mentor, Master Taiyi, rebuilds their corporeal form using the Sacred Lotus, but as they are recovering, new challenges arise that threaten the balance of the realms.
Ne Zha 2 will arrive in the Philippines on March 12.
Mickey 17
From the mind of the Academy Award-winning director of Parasite comes a brand-new film that you wouldn't want to miss in theaters.
Mickey 17, Bong Joon Ho's next groundbreaking cinematic work, stars an unlikely hero named Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) as he finds himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job—to die, for a living.
Because of this, Mickey is tasked with doing several dangerous assignments that ultimately costs him his life, with a new body being regenerated each time he dies.
The film stars the likes of Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.
Mickey 17 will open in Philippine cinemas on March 5.
Crosspoint
Crosspoint is another film that will have you at the edge of your seat thanks to its action-packed story.
The film stars Carlo Aquino and Japanese actor Takehiro Hira as two men who join forces to capture a high-profile serial killer at large in order to get the bounty that's estimated to be 10 million yen, which would help bring an end to their respective financial struggles.
Crosspoint will be available for streaming on Netflix on March 13.
The Electric State
This new sci-fi adventure flick starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt will certainly electrify you with excitement.
Loosely based on the 2018 illustrated novel of the same name by Simon Stålenhag, The Electric State is set on a retro-futuristic backdrop and tells the story of an orphaned teenager named Michelle who lives in a society filled with robots resembling cartoons and mascots. Instead of co-existing with them however, humans and robots now live in conflict following a robot rebellion.
Michelle soon sets off on a journey after meeting Cosmo, a mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by her genius younger brother whom she thought was dead.
The film also stars Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci.
The Electric State premieres on Netflix on March 14.
