Star Wars, Marvel Included on Updated Disney Release Schedule

Friday saw Disney announce its new release date schedule which includes a new untitled Star Wars movie still set for a 2022 release.

Due to the coronavirus, Disney was forced to push back a majority of its movie releases, including the Marvel movies Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange 2, Thor 4 and more, and Disney did announce and confirm release dates for Black Panther and Captain Marvel 2.

The Star Wars release date listed below has been unaffected and is still due out on December 16, 2022.

Disney has yet to announce anything about the new Star Wars movie, its title or even who is creating and directing the flick.

Also worth noting is that there is no mention of New Mutants, so it remains to be seen if it will get a theatrical release or a streaming service release, though there are plenty of “Untitled 20th Century” slots (Update: New Mutants gets released Aug. 28, 2020).

Here is the official Disney announcement:

The Walt Disney Studios Announces Updated Release Schedule

Following the announcement in March that several titles would be delayed due to the global health crisis, The Walt Disney Studios today announced updates to its upcoming release schedule. Disney’s Mulan is now slated to open on July 24, 2020, with Disney’s Jungle Cruise moving to July 30, 2021; while Marvel Studios’ Black Widow will arrive in theaters on November 6, 2020, with The Eternals moving to February 12, 2021.

The Walt Disney Studios also announced today that it will debut its new live-action feature film Artemis Fowl exclusively on Disney+. The release date will be announced soon.

Based on the best-selling young adult book by Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl stars newcomer Ferdia Shaw in the title role alongside Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozie, Josh McGuire, Nikesh Patel and Adrian Scarborough, with Colin Farrell and Judi Dench.

“With audiences largely unable to attend theatres in the current environment, we are thrilled to offer the premiere of Artemis Fowl on Disney+,” said Ricky Strauss, president, Content & Marketing, Disney+. “Director Kenneth Branagh and his spectacular cast take viewers right into the vibrant fantasy world of the beloved book, which fans have been waiting to see brought to life onscreen for years. It’s great family entertainment that is the perfect addition to Disney+’s summer lineup.”
