CNN's Frank Pallotta posted Disney's release schedule on Twitter: ADVERTISEMENT Thanks for watching! Visit Website Details on the movies are unknown, but a standalone Black Widow film, Black Panther 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Eternals, and Marvel’s first Asian superhero movie Shang-Chi are expected inclusions. So are you psyched for these new releases, or already over the MCU?<doc-sep>Disney, having consumed the past, present, and future of 20th Century Fox earlier this year, has plans for the next seven years. Have you thought about 2027? One of the biggest media companies on the planet has, because that’s when Avatar 5 comes out. Avatar 5! In a major land grab, Disney announced on Tuesday all of its release day plans for the next seven years. Here’s the major news: The next Star Wars movie arrives in 2022 After making clear that the Star Wars movies were “on hiatus” after this December’s The Rise of Skywalker, Disney confirmed with the release schedule that fans would get another sequel — or new trilogy kickoff — in three years. Whether that’s Rian Johnson’s trilogy or whatever Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are cooking up is unknown. But per Disney’s announcement, the film will kickoff “three new as-yet-untitled Star Wars films will release on the pre-Christmas weekend every other year beginning in 2022.” Marvel has Phase 4 plans for 2020 and beyond Marvel Studios’ post-Endgame releases are technically unknown, but we know Phase 4 movies include a Black Widow standalone, an adaptation of Eternals, a Shang-Chi movie, and Black Panther 2. Marvel has two 2020 movies on the calendar, slated for May 1, 2020 and November 6, 2020, and three untitled films planned for both 2021 and 2022. With writer-director James Gunn booked for Suicide Squad in the immediate future, expect Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 to take one of the late dates. The next Disney live-action remakes are revealed Disney packed 2019 full of animation-to-IRL conversions, even following Lion King with Maleficent: Mistress of Evil into the mix on Nov. 10, 2019. The schedule reveals what’s next: Mulan, set for March 27, 2020, and Cruella, a 101 Dalmatiens redux starring Emma Stone, dated for Dec. 23, 2020. Disney has eight “untitled live-action” projects sprinkled throughout 2021 and 2022, many expected to follow suit in adapting well-known animated works. New Pixar movies remain a mystery Pixar announced the company’s next, original project, Onward, in late 2018. Other than, we know nothing — and continue to know nothing. Based on the last decade of production, sequels to the animation studio’s hits seem likely. Inside Out 2? CoCtwo? Wall-F? 2020 will see two new Pixar films, followed by a single release in 2021, and another double serving in 2022. The new Indiana Jones movie has a release date Steven Spielberg announced his involvement with Indiana Jones 5 in 2016, with an expected release of 2019. That didn’t happen, but the director does intend to make the movie with Harrison Ford. It’s officially on Disney’s calendar for July 9, 2021. Artemis Fowl gets a release date shift The highly anticipated YA adaptation from director Kenneth Branagh won’t hit theaters in 2019 as expected. After sitting in an August slot for more than a year, Disney has kicked the movie to May 29, 2020. The New Mutants has a new release date ... again The X-Men horror movie, shuffled around time and time again at 20th Century Fox, has yet another new release date, having been bumped from this August’s calendar. The movie, which stars Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams, will bow on April 3, 2020, in theory. The Kingsman prequel is still happening A holdover from Fox, the announcement revealed that the third movie in Matthew Vaughn and Mark Millar’s series remains on track for a Feb. 2, 2020 release. Blue Sky Animation will continue production on Nimona Disney now owns Pixar, Walt Disney Animation, and Blue Sky, the company behind Ice Age and this year’s wild-looking Will Smith animated film Spies in Disguise. Thankfully, the studio will remain active after the acquisition; Blue Sky’s Nimona, an adaptation of Noelle Stevenson’s graphic novel, is slated for March 5, 2021. Disney will release a new Avatar movie every two years through 2027 James Cameron’s plans to extend his CG spectacle into a five-film series holds after the Fox merger, with the first still set for Dec. 17, 2021. Whether the continued releases are dependent on the success of the sequel is unclear, but for now, we’ll return to Pandora every Christmas for the next decade, and with an ensemble of new Na’vi and human characters.

Marvel Studios We might be living in a post-Avengers: Endgame world, but Disney has plenty of Marvel movies in the pipeline. In its adjusted release schedule for the next few years, Disney revealed Tuesday that we'll have eight new Marvel movies by the end of 2022. We'll be seeing two in 2020 (on May 1 and Nov. 6); three in 2021 (on Feb. 12, May 7 and Nov. 5); and three in 2022 (Feb. 18, May 6 and July 29). It's highly likely these movies will include a Black Panther sequel, a solo Black Widow movie, the second Dr. Strange outing, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, Shang-Chi and Eternals. Now playing: Watch this: Top 5 things Avengers: Endgame sets up for the future Stepping into more speculative territory, this period might also see classic Marvel Comic teams the X-Men and Fantastic Four joining the MCU in the wake of Disney acquiring Fox -- especially since Gambit and three other Fox Marvel projects were removed from the schedule. We might see another Spider-Man movie too, following the release of Far From Home in July. The X-Men movie New Mutants is delayed again, this time until March 2020. New Mutants tells the story of five young mutants, also part of the X-Men comics story arc, at the beginning of discovering their powerful abilities while held in a secret facility against their will. They fight to escape to save themselves, and maybe a few humans along the way. Here's more on all the confirmed and rumored upcoming Marvel Studios movies and TV shows. Disney also confirmed when we'll see new Star Wars films, with each movie being released every other year starting December 2022. First published at 10:07 a.m. PT.
