Disney has just announced release dates for several upcoming 2025 and 2026 movies, and while there's no mention of Marvel Studios' future MCU offerings (which means no more delays for now, thankfully), there's plenty of exciting news here.
For starters, we're getting The Mandalorian & Grogu on May 22, 2026; it's now the first Star Wars movie to arrive in theaters in a May slot since 2018's Solo: A Star Wars Story (which didn't pay off for that spin-off but there were lots of reasons it struggled).
In related sci-fi news, Tron: Ares - starring Suicide Squad's Jared Leto - is heading our way on October 10, 2025.
On the animated side, Toy Story 5 will be released on June 19, 2026. However, the live-action adaptation of Moana starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will now arrive in theaters on July 10, 2026 instead of June 27, 2025.
An Untitled Disney movie has also been removed from the studio's schedule on July 10, 2026. In other release date news, The Amateur is coming on April 11, 2025 and Nightbitch starring Man of Steel's Amy Adams is coming on December 6, later this year.
Daisy Ridley's Star Wars movie still doesn't have a confirmed release date but isn't expected to arrive in theaters until 2027. James Mangold's "First Jedi" project and Dave Filoni's crossover are also undated.
"I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created," The Mandalorian & Grogu director Jon Favreau said in a statement when news of these movie plans first broke. "The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting."
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy added, "Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have ushered into Star Wars two new and beloved characters, and this new story is a perfect fit for the big screen."
