By Ben Pearson/March 1, 2018 3:45 pm EST
Disney already made waves this afternoon when the studio moved Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War up by a week. But that was just an appetizer compared to today’s main course: the studio has announced more than two dozen new release dates from now until 2023, including Marvel release dates all the way through 2022. Let’s see if we can figure out what some of these are.
Disney’s New Release Dates
Here are all of the Disney release dates they’ve claimed starting with next year, with the new dates in bold (courtesy of Exhibitor Relations): March 8, 2019: Captain Marvel March 29, 2019: Tim Burton’s Dumbo April 19, 2019: Disneynature’s Penguins May 3, 2019: Avengers 4 May 24, 2019: Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin June 21, 2019: Toy Story 4 July 19, 2019: Jon Favreau’s The Lion King August 9, 2019: Kenneth Branagh’s Artemis Fowl October 4, 2019: Untitled Disney Live Action November 8, 2019: Untitled Disney Fairy Tale November 27, 2019: Frozen 2 December 20, 2019: J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode 9 February 14, 2020: Untitled Disney Live Action March 6, 2020: Untitled Pixar (Previously March 13, 2020) March 27, 2020: Nikki Caro’s Mulan April 3, 2020: Untitled Disney Live Action May 1, 2020: Untitled Marvel May 29, 2020: Untitled Disney Live Action June 19, 2020: Untitled Pixar July 10, 2020: Untitled Indiana Jones July 21, 2020: Untitled Marvel (Previously August 7, 2020) October 9, 2020: Untitled Disney Live Action November 6, 2020: Untitled Marvel November 25, 2020: Untitled Disney Animation December 23, 2020: Untitled Disney Live Action February 12, 2021: Untitled Disney Live Action March 12, 2021: Untitled Disney Live Action May 7, 2021: Untitled Marvel May 28, 2021: Untitled Disney Live Action July 9, 2021: Untitled Disney Live Action July 30, 2021: Untitled Marvel October 8, 2021: Untitled Disney Live Action November 5, 2021: Untitled Marvel November 24, 2021: Untitled Disney Animation December 22, 2021: Untitled Disney Live Action February 18, 2022: Untitled Marvel March 18, 2022: Untitled Pixar May 6, 2022: Untitled Marvel May 27, 2022: Untitled Disney Live Action June 17, 2022: Untitled Pixar July 8, 2022: Untitled Disney Live Action July 29, 2022: Untitled Marvel October 7, 2022: Untitled Disney Live Action November 4, 2022: Untitled Disney Live Action November 16, 2022: Untitled Disney Live Action February 17, 2023: Untitled Disney Live Action That’s a lot of untitled movies. Let’s try to narrow down what some of these may be. To make it easy, we’ll break our speculation into sections.
Marvel Studios
Let’s look at the Marvel release dates first. I’ll drop our guesses into the following untitled slots, updated from the last time we guessed about them: May 1, 2020: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 July 21, 2020: Black Widow solo movie November 6, 2020: Doctor Strange 2 May 7, 2021: Black Panther 2 July 30, 2021: Ravagers/Guardians of the Galaxy spin-off November 5, 2021: Ant-Man and the Wasp sequel February 18, 2022: Captain Marvel 2 May 6, 2022: Avengers 5 (maybe Secret Wars or Secret Invasion?) July 29, 2022: Black Widow 2 We don’t yet know who’s going to survive the next two Avengers movies, but since Marvel has historically worked in trilogies, it makes sense that we’d see those franchises filled out for characters like Ant-Man and the Wasp, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Doctor Strange. We also know the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to get more cosmic after Avengers 4, and with Black Widow in the works, hopefully that will do well enough to warrant a sequel of its own.
Lucasfilm
This is the first year Lucasfilm will be releasing two Star Wars movie in the same year, and even though Rian Johnson is developing a new trilogy and the Game of Thrones creators are working on their own separate series of films, it still may be a few years before they make that pace their new normal. That means we could see something like this:
May 29, 2020: Obi-Wan Kenobi solo film May 28, 2021: Rian Johnson’s trilogy part 1 May 27, 2022: Star Wars: Episode X, with Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and company returning (or maybe a Lando movie?)
