A new Iron Maiden documentary has secured international distribution for the fall, though U.S. rights are still to be confirmed.

Universal Pictures Content Group announced on Friday (March 14) that it has begun production on a documentary chronicling heavy metal icons Iron Maiden‘s 50-year career. The currently untitled film is slated for release internationally in the fall,

The documentary is set to include commentary from the actor Javier Bardem, Metallica's Lars Ulrich and Gene Simmons of KISS. Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno, who died in 2024, will also be included in the film.

Iron Maiden have announced a 50th anniversary book and documentary. Both are expected to arrive sometime in the fall of 2025. The announcements come as the metal legends are gearing up for their 50th anniversary tour,

Iron Maiden were formed way back in 1975, which means the heavy metal institution turns 50 years old this year. To mark that anniversary, the band is releasing an official documentary this year along with Universal Pictures Content Group.

Iron Maiden have unveiled details of an official documentary set for release later this year. Universal Pictures Content Group today announced that the film will be released in cinemas around the globe in autumn 2025 to coincide with the metal legends’ 50 th anniversary.

The official untitled Iron Maiden documentary is directed by Malcolm Venville (Churchill at War) and produced by Dominic Freeman (Spirits in the Forest – A Depeche Mode Film). EVP Universal Pictures Content Group Helen Parker (Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes) serves as Exec Producer.
