In a whirlwind of updates, Walt Disney Studios has unveiled its latest movie calendar, and there’s plenty to discuss! Fans of Marvel, Pixar, and Disney films can get ready for some intriguing changes and new release dates.
First off, the much-anticipated Marvel flick **”Blade”** remains on schedule for November 2025, despite swirling rumors about its production delays. With no confirmed director or final script, will **”Blade”** manage to hit its release date? Perhaps we’ll learn more at the upcoming D23 Expo!
Marvel Studios has also split some significant updates. Notably, they have axed their July 2026 release, reducing the total films for that year to three. 2027 is set to feature three blockbusters, including the eagerly awaited **“Avengers: Secret Wars”**. With the promise of fewer releases, Disney appears to be making good on Bob Iger’s pledge to scale back production, potentially allowing for better-crafted stories and higher-quality films.
Adding to the buzz, Pixar has announced a mysterious new title set for June 2027, while Disney has secured nine other 2027 spots for as-yet-unnamed movies. Their current schedule means that Pixar will release only one film per year from 2025 to 2027 – a significant reduction in output, hinting that they might be saving room for some standout features.
Interestingly, Searchlight Pictures has moved **“A Real Pain”**, a Sundance darling, to a limited release on November 1. Could this shift hint at an Oscars campaign? The film, adored by critics, has all the makings of an underdog contender.
There’s also radio silence from the galaxy far, far away! No new dates for **“Star Wars”** were revealed, confirming just a few releases, such as **“The Mandalorian & Grogu”** film slated for May 22, 2026, and two mysterious December releases in 2026 and 2027.
Disney’s meticulous lineup adjustment only builds excitement for the D23 announcements, leaving fans on tenterhooks. Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments and let us know which titles you’re most excited about!
