CALIFORNIA: Disney Studios has announced a massive slate of films all set to be released between now and 2027 – including EIGHT new Marvel films.
The films will see in the next part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) – as Phase 3 draws to an end with recent box office smash Avengers: Endgame, and July release Spider-Man: Far From Home.

It could mean another run out for characters like Dr Strange, Black Panther and Captain Marvel as the new superhero collective is led by Spider-Man.
An origins film around Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow is also heavily rumoured – and could even start shooting this summer.
The Walt Disney Studios’ 2019 summer slate continues with Disney’s Aladdin (May 24), Fox’s Dark Phoenix (June 7), Pixar’s Toy Story 4 (June 21), Fox’s Stuber (July 12), and Disney’s The Lion King (July 19).

The Studios’ 2019 slate rounds out with Fox’s The Woman in the Window October 4 and Ford V. Ferrari November 15, followed by Disney’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil October 18, Disney Animation’s Frozen 2 November 22, Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker December 20, and Blue Sky Studios’ Spies in Disguise, moving from September 13 to Christmas.
Early 2020 titles include Fox’s Underwater January 10, a new Kingsman movie February 14, and Call of the Wild February 21, followed by Pixar’s Onward March 6 and Disney’s Mulan March 27.

The updated calendar also sets release dates for major franchises Avatar and Star Wars. With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker bringing the original Skywalker Saga to its conclusion in 2019, three new as-yet-untitled Star Wars films will release on the pre-Christmas weekend every other year beginning in 2022.
Four more Avatar films will be released on the pre-Christmas weekend every other year beginning in 2021.

“With a strong summer already in place, we are eager to carry that momentum forward over the coming years thanks to a creative wellspring of bold and imaginative stories coming from our world-class studios-including several new chapters of two revered franchises, Avatar and Star Wars.”
