Calendars ready, because Disney is preparing for a bright and magical future with stories that will resonate with audiences of all ages. As reported on D23, during the webcast of the fiscal first quarter 2024 financial results, Disney CEO Bob Iger made several exciting announcements. Here is a summary of all the announced releases.
Disney Releases in 2024
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will arrive on Disney+ on March 15, 2024, with an added surprise: it will be an extended version that includes four additional acoustic songs. It is not yet known what these four extra songs will be, but it seems they will be the acoustic songs that were not included in the original concert: Death by a Thousand Cuts, Maroon, You Are in Love, and I Can See You.
Inside Out (Del revés) 2 is scheduled for release on June 14, 2024. This sequel to the curious journey through the world of human emotions that Pixar first explored in 2015 will bring a new emotion to Riley's life: anxiety, along with new challenges as she progresses in her adolescence.
Moana 2 will hit theaters on November 27, 2024. With the same mix of bravery, exploration, and captivating songs that made the first movie a success, according to Bob Iger, Moana 2 will embark on a dangerous mission to the distant seas after receiving bold instructions from her ancestors and will immerse us again in the vibrant world of Polynesia with "an expansive journey with Moana, Maui, and a new crew of sailors".
In addition, throughout 2024, titles such as Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Deadpool 3, Alien: Romulus, and Mufasa: The Lion King, a CGI (computer-generated imagery) prequel to The Lion King story, will arrive.
Disney Releases in 2025
Zootopia 2 is set for November 26, 2025. Promising to pick up the stories of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, this sequel will dive back into the vast and diverse animal world of Zootopia with new adventures.
Elio has had its release date updated to June 13, 2025. We have known about this upcoming Pixar production for about a year now and it is sure to represent an exciting addition to the Disney universe. Its story centers on an 11-year-old boy with an overactive imagination who struggles to fit in his world. When he is mistakenly transported to the Commuverse, an interplanetary organization that gathers representatives from distant galaxies, and is mistaken for Earth's galactic ambassador to the rest of the universe, Elio must figure out how to navigate a series of tests in his new and unexpected role.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians (second season) is expected to begin filming in the coming months and premiere in 2025. We will once again enter the world of Greek mythology, mixing action, humor, and valuable lessons, in this second season that will tell us a new adventure based on "The Sea of Monsters," the second installment of the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" book series on which the series is based.
In addition, throughout 2025, we expect the arrival of Captain America: Brave New World, Fantastic Four, and James Cameron's Avatar 3.
Disney Releases in 2026
Frozen 3 is scheduled to arrive in 2026, continuing the story of Elsa, Anna, and the magical kingdom of Arendelle. Although the specific details of the plot are kept secret, this third installment will surely be filled with more adventures, exciting songs, and of course, the unbreakable bond between the sisters. It is likely that in Frozen 3, we will delve deeper into the mythology of the Enchanted Forest and the Northuldra tribe and Elsa's life after peace was restored between Arendelle and Northuldra. Either way, even without official confirmation, Frozen 3 will not be the last, as we will surely see Frozen 4 arrive at some point.
Toy Story 5, the first Toy Story movie since 2019, is also scheduled for 2026. This will bring back Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the rest of the gang in a new adventure that we still do not know about, but will surely excite both new viewers and die-hard fans and will take us to infinity and beyond.
In addition, a new Star Wars movie that will bring the Mandalorian and Grogu to the big screen for the first time is also expected in 2026.
From the return of beloved classics to the introduction of new sagas and stories, Disney is ready to reaffirm its place as one of the great leaders in the entertainment world. We can already prepare for what is to come: an exciting journey through the magic, adventure, and excitement that only Disney knows how to create.
