Elio
For centuries, people have called out to the universe looking for answers—in Disney and Pixar’s all-new movie “Elio,” the universe calls back!

[March 6, 2026]
Avengers: Doomsday
Details are very thin about this movie right now — we don't even know who the Avengers will be by the time this one rolls around! (Maybe they'll be a version of the Thunderbolts… but maybe not!) But that doesn't matter because Joe and Anthony Russo are back to direct, and Robert Downey, Jr. is returning as well. But he's not back as Iron Man. Instead, he's playing Doctor Doom, the classic metal-masked Fantastic Four villain. Read more about AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY here. [May 1, 2026]
The Mandalorian & Grogu
In 2023, Disney and Lucasfilm set dates for three new STAR WARS movies, details of which you can find below. In early 2024, THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU was announced with Jon Favreau directing and the core characters from "The Mandalorian" streaming series flying on to the big screen. Right now it seems like this one is likely to hit the first date set by Lucasfilm, in May 2026, but keep in mind that any dates for new STAR WARS movies remain tentative assumptions until fully confirmed by Lucasfilm and Disney. [May 22, 2026]
Moana
The live-action remake of the Walt Disney Animation hit movie will once again feature The Rock in one of the two leading roles. And, yes, this is different from the animated MOANA 2 [July 10, 2026]
Untitled Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy Star Wars Movie
The first of three new STAR WARS movies announced in 2023 is expected to be the one directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Rey features as the main character in a story expected to pick up after the events of THE RISE OF SKYWALKER. This looks likely to land on the second date set by Lucasfilm last year but that is not yet confirmed by Lucasfilm. [December 18, 2026]
Frozen III
The same Disney earnings call that featured the surprise announcement of MOANA 2 also saw Bob Iger promising that the next FROZEN movie is on track for release. We know little about the story at this point, but it will arrive at Thanksgiving in 2027. [November 24, 2027]
Avengers: Secret Wars
Take what we know about AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and cut it in half. That's still more than we know about SECRET WARS. But the subtitle here gives us clues, too. The first Secret Wars took place in 1985, in a big Marvel Comics crossover event. A sequel followed a few years later, and then in 2015 a "spiritual sequel" greatly compacted Marvel's comic book multiverse. Since this is the final movie (that we know about) in the Multiverse Saga, expect a lot of big changes by the time the credits roll. The Russos are directing this one, too. Read more about AVENGERS: SECRET WARS here. [May 7, 2027]
Untitled James Mangold Star Wars Movie
The second of three new STAR WARS movies announced in 2023 is James Mangold's movie set far back at the dawn of the Jedi order. Lucasfilm has planted a flag on December 17, 2027 and that could be the release date for this movie, but nothing is confirmed as yet. [Release Date TBA]
Untitled Dave Filoni Star Wars Movie
The third of three new STAR WARS movies announced in 2023 is likely to be Dave Filoni's movie which will feature characters from "The Mandalorian" and some of the other STAR WARS streaming series. [Release Date TBA]
