Disney is shaking up it’s release calendar due to the writers strike with the Star Wars film scheduled for December 19th, 2025 moving to May 22nd, 2026, another Star Wars release slated for December 18th, 2026, and a third set for December 17th, 2027. There is no indication about which film is which, and with nothing currently shooting we might have a bit of a wait to find out.
Here are some of the other changes…
A live-action “Moana” will be released on June 27, 2025; “Deadpool 3” moved up from Nov. 8, 2024, to May 3, 2024; “Avatar 3” has shifted to Dec. 19, 2025; “Avatar 4” to Dec. 21, 2029, and “Avatar 5” to Dec. 19, 2031. Based on this timeline, the final “Avatar” movie is coming 22 years after the original 2009 blockbuster.
Other changes include a massive Marvel reshuffling. “Captain America: Brave New World” is moving from May 3, 2024, to July 26, 2024, which in turn is delaying “Thunderbolts” to Dec. 20, 2024, “Blade” to Feb. 14, 2025, and “Fantastic Four” to May 2, 2025. “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” is getting pushed back an entire year, from May 2, 2025, to May 1, 2026. It’s taking the place of “Avengers: Secret Wars,” which is jumping from May 1, 2026, to May 7, 2027.
We all know what happened in 2017 when two Star Wars films were released in quick succession, and many of us had hoped that Disney had learnt from that. Personally, I’m not thrilled about two Star Wars films in seven months and would rather they are spaced out better.
Let us know what you think…
