As the Disney acquisition swiftly approaches, 20th Century Fox has reshuffled a number of their upcoming releases.
First, they've pushed back Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Great Game, from this coming November to Valentine's Day, February 14, 2020.
The Kingsman spinoff, which is rumored to be set during World War I, is currently in filming in the United Kingdom and will feature an impressive star cast that includes Harris Dickinson, Ralph Fiennes, Daniel Brühl, Charles Dance, Rhys Ifans, Matthew Goode, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Gemma Arterton, Tom Hollander, Djimon Hounsou, Stanley Tucci, Alison Steadman, Robert Aramayo, and Neil Jackson.
Vaughn is also expected to begin work on Kingsman 3, with Taron Egerton and Colin Firth expected to reprise their roles, following the conclusion of The Great Game.
In other news, it appears the studio is quite bullish on James Mangold's Ford v. Ferrari, which stars Matt Damon and Christian Bale in the lead roles, as they've vacated its previous summer release date and moved it to November 15, 2020, which is right smack dab in the center of awards season.
The studio has also dated the Ryan Reynolds' Free Guy for July 3, 2020. The Shawn Levy-directed action comedy is said to revolve around a background character who realizes he’s living in a video game. With the help of an avatar, he tries to prevent the makers of the game from shutting down his world.
Considering all three aforementioned films will likely open under the Disney banner as the acquisition is expected to close within the next few months, this should be promising news for the House of Mouse as they are on the verge of inheriting quite a few promising upcoming titles.
