With the acquisition of 21st Century Fox, Disney has a lot of tasks ahead of it. One of the first ones was sorting out the release schedule of so many films. On Tuesday, Disney took care of that.
You can see the schedule below with portions of it running up through 2027. This is the Avatar and Star Wars switch off that is coming primarily.
The remainder of 2019 is just release after release it feels like. 2020 is also pretty full, and this is also when we start seeing ‘Untitled Marvel” films sprinkled throughout the years. We should begin learning what those movies are in the not too distant future.
Here are some of the biggest takeaways from all of this, however. First off, The New Mutants has been delayed yet again. It has now moved from Aug. 2019 to April 2020. And then there are all of the completely removed Marvel movies.
- GAMBIT (FOX) – Was dated for 3/13/20 and is now removed from schedule
- UNTITLED FOX MARVEL (FOX) – Was dated for 6/26/20 and is now removed from schedule
- UNTITLED FOX MARVEL (FOX) – Was dated for 10/2/20 is now removed from schedule
- UNTITLED DISNEY LIVE ACTION (DIS) – Was dated for 10/9/20 and is now removed from schedule
- UNTITLED FOX MARVEL (FOX) – Was dated for 3/5/21 and is now removed from schedule
These projects should all be considered dead at this point. It’s honestly surprising that The New Mutants is still supposedly getting a theatrical release.
Meanwhile, the Star Wars film for 2022 landed on the same day as Aquaman 2. Someone’s going to blink and our money is on it being Warner Bros.
It’s going to be a busy couple years, and with so many franchises under its umbrella now, this won’t be slowing down any time soon we would guess.
