The announcement from Disney’s D23 event was significant, focusing on new additions to existing franchises.
Upcoming releases include the next “Star Wars” series, “Skeleton Crew,” set for December, and a sneak peek at the 2026 film “The Mandalorian and Grogu.”
The title for the third installment of “Avatar,” scheduled for 2025, was unveiled as “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” Additionally, beloved animated films like “Toy Story,” “Zootopia,” “The Incredibles,” and “Frozen” are getting sequels, with “Moana 2” arriving later this year.
A bit of controversy surrounds the simultaneous release of Hollywood power couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s films “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “It Ends with Us.” Some fans have drawn comparisons to this year’s “Barbenheimer,” but these films are distinct from “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie.”
