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."

Here's the current slate of upcoming 2025/2026/2027 MCU movies:

Captain America: Brave New World - February 14, 2025

Thunderbolts - May 2, 2025

The Fantastic Four - July 25, 2025

Blade - November 7, 2025

Avengers 5 - May 1, 2026

Avengers: Secret Wars - May 7, 2027

Damn, 2025 is filled up with MCU content! It will really be make or break for them, I think. Surprised Blade is expected to be done by then.

I doubt we will ever see Blade to be honest.

Kind of surprised about the Moana live-action as well, considering cartoon sequel would of been released two years prior from the live action. They going all in on a Moana franchise I see lol.

@Spoken - They only have so much time before The Rock needs to either downsize or suffer health consequences, imagine that’s a factor

Spoken - 4/5/2024, 2:47 PM
@Madman - I honestly feel the movie is beautiful already (the animated version) I just think it's really really early for a live action take IMO. My daughter still puts on Moana sometimes before bed.

But I do sense this was more of a vanity project for The Rock. I could of sworn it was announced after Black Adam failed.

@Spoken - I think we'll see Blade, but not in that November spot. Kinda expect it to move down to February 2026. Four movies a year is just too much.

As for Moana, I'm guessing they're going all in on it because it's a great merch and parks opportunity. The parks could use more tropical themes, and Moana provides that.

@bkmeijer1 - Idk, it seems like if Feige wanted Blade to be made, it would of been done already I feel. I do agree though four movies a year is a little insane.

That's probably it too. She is a popular character. There is tropical themes in the Avatar area, is there not? Haven't been to Disney in years and it's like an hour away from me lol.

bkmeijer1 - 4/5/2024, 6:15 PM
@Spoken - yeah, Blade definitely doesn't appear to be high on the list of priorities. Guess Ali could be producer, and he's not satisfied with it.

And yeah, Avatar has tropical themes as well. I know Animal Kingdom has Avatarland (Flight of Passage was great btw), but outside of that no park has that. Moana is Disney, so I guess it's easier to implement than Avatar.

At least the Moana live action movie is there to make Toy Story 5 look less like a cash grab lol.

Thomas Kail who’s done a lot of stage work such as Hamilton & In The Heights aswell as some tv is doing it so I’m interested to see how he does with that atleast.

It will be his first feature.

I actually kinda liked Star Wars in December, especially with Marvel's tentpole movies taking the spot in May. Three weeks apart just feels like Disney is competing with themselves.

And in December they could alternate between Avatar and Star Wars movies nicely. Avatar in 2025, 2028 and 2031, and Star Wars in 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2030.

I wish I could be excited about Tron :Ares but Leto as the lead just kills my interest (though I like the rest of the cast)…

I also might be in the minority that didn’t care for Tron Legacy (the visuals & soundtrack were the highlight though) so that’s also a reason.

I did enjoy Tron:Uprising though…

Might rewatch that , Legacy and the original because it’s been awhile before this.

@TheVisionary25 - I had no idea there was an animated show. Might check that out then. Looks more interesting than the upcoming movie imo
RedFury
RedFury - 4/5/2024, 5:29 PM
@TheVisionary25 - yeah Leto doesn't really have much draw for me either. And the fact that it's going to be partly set in the real world I think is a big letdown. I'd much rather an entire movie taking place inside of the computer world because the visuals are big part of the draw of the franchise. To pop into our world just seems like an odd choice that's probably budget related.

So Marvel is back to releasing 4 Movies a year

Bad mistake
marvel72
marvel72 - 4/5/2024, 3:30 PM
@WakandaTech - Exactly,that's not including the Disney Plus Shows,Deadpool And Wolverine this year and some crappy Disney Plus shows, Disney are cutting back.

2025 floods the market, they have learned nothing.

I've been saying May 2026 for the next Star Wars film since 2019. And I've not wavered in that.

Eat your toast out CWGT.

And MTTS? t's my time to shine now, bitch.

Move over Daniel Richtman.

There's a new scooper in town and he's scooping up doggy poo. And also getting the release date of the next Star Wars movie correct.

They aren’t seriously going to try to release an Avengers movie and a Star Wars movie in the same month again are they? I’ll assume Avengers 5 isn’t making that release date.
Scarilian
Scarilian - 4/5/2024, 4:56 PM
@TheUnworthyThor -
Yeah, no chance that the Mandalorian movie releases the same month as Avengers 5, would be Disney damaging their own films with overlap.

They are just waiting till after Deadpool 3 is released to announce all the delays.

Probably will look something like this:

• SERIES - Daredevil: Born Again S1 - January 2025 (Sets-up the world of Captain America 4/Thunderbolts)
• FILM - Captain America 4 - May 2025
• FILM - Fantastic Four - July 2025
• FILM - Thunderbolts - November 2025
• SERIES - Iron Heart - December 2025 (Helps lead into Armour Wars and sets-up Mephisto)

• FILM - Blade - February 2026
• SERIES - Wonder Man - March 2026
• FILM - Armour Wars - May 2026
• SERIES - Daredevil: Born Again S2 - June 2026 (Set-up for Spider-man 4)
• FILM - Spider-man 4 - November 2026

• SERIES - Loki Season 3 - January 2027 (Ties into Avengers 5)
• FILM - Avengers 5 - May 2027
• FILM - Shang Chi 2 - July 2027
• SPECIAL - Mephisto - October 2027 (Ties in to Doctor Strange 3)
• FILM - Doctor Strange 3 - December 2027 (Sets-up Avengers 6)

• FILM - Avengers 6 (Part 1) - May 2028
• FILM - Eternals 2 - September 2028
• FILM - Avengers 7 (Part 2) - November, 2028

@Scarilian - This post reminds me - remember the poster who used to have every CBM on a list with release dates and would post it here and there when people would ask questions?
Scarilian
Scarilian - 4/6/2024, 9:38 AM
@SuperJefe -
I'm sure others have done this style of format. I'm not remotely original in that regard.

Other than Avengers 7, being a split of Avengers 6, everything on this list is a project that has been announced.

There's also an X-Men film, but I imagine that will be in the rebooted franchise in 2029.

No problem, glad I could help. I imagine they'll do an announcement this year to restructure the slate and clarify what's happening.

Superman is going to compete with the Fantastic Four with only two weeks in between them. Next year is looking good for Marvel.

Problem marvel claims is happening: we've been oversaturating the market by releasing too much content per year

Solution:
Only release one movie in 2024, then go back to releasing 4 movies a year and continuing to pump out their shows as well.

Looks like they've refigured things out a bit more.
