Disney’s slate of upcoming movies has rapidly expanded in the last few years, thanks to acquisitions like Marvel and Star Wars; new animated features from both the Disney Animation and Pixar divisions; and even a new vertical of old animated films re-adapted into modern live-action blockbusters (Jungle Book, Maleficent, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast).

With such a big slate of films to manage, it’s no surprise that Disney has needed to do a big of rearranging; and today, we got the new slate of release dates for some of the studio’s most-anticipated upcoming projects.

Here are All of the New Disney Movie Release Dates we learned today.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Release Date: Dec. 15th, 2017

The installment of theย Star Warsย Episodes hits theaters this holiday season, with a dark and ominous storyline that could include major shakeups for theย Star Warsย Universe.ย 

A Wrinkle in Time

Release Date: March 9th, 2018

Selmaย directorย Avaย DuVernay’sย adaptation of this classic sci-fi/fantasy novel will likely touch on timely themes of good vs evil, conformity vs individuality, and authoritarianism vs democracy. We’re also hoping it’ll be a trippyย visual feast, as well.ย

Magic Camp

Adam Devine Disney Magic Camp

Release Date: April 6th, 2018

This comedy/fantasy for the family will revolve around comedian Adam Devine (Workaholics, Pitch Perfect), who returns to the Magic Camp he attended as a kid, to get his career as magician going again. The cast (Gillian Jacobs, Jeffrey Tambor, Aldis Hodge, and more…) looks talented enough to make this a really fun experience. The only question is: how muchย realย magic will we see in this camp?ย 

Han Solo: A Star Wars Story

Release Date: May 25th, 2018

The untitledย Star Warsย standalone about Han Solo already has an awesome cast, including Alden Ehrenreich in the Han Solo role; Donald Glover playing Landoย Calrissian; Woody Harrelson as Han’s nefarious mentor, Beckett, and actors like Michael K. Williams, Thandieย Newton andย Game of Thrones‘ Emiliaย Clarke in supporting roles. Withย LEGO Movieย andย 21 Jump Streetย directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller at the helm, we expect great things from this one.ย 

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2

Release Date: Nov. 21st, 2018

Wreck-It-Ralphย made ’80s and ’90s kids all over the world happy with its classic Disney hero’s journey, superimposed over a video game world that was chock-full of great Easter eggs and references. Withย Wreck-It-Ralph 2, it seems that the gaming theme will be pushed even further into the realm of modern day, Web-based gaming. Results should be hilarious.ย

The Lion King

Release Date: July 19th, 2019

Director Jon Favreauย made movie magic happen when he did a live-action remake ofย The Jungle Bookย – so naturally Disney brought him back to make lightning strike, not twice, but rather three times. Favreauย will deliverย The Lion Kingย first, before working onย The Jungle Bookย sequel.

Frozen 2

Release Date: Nov. 27th, 2019

Frozenย was a milestone smash hit for Disney, bringing the first princess love story that showcased the love between two sisters, rather than a traditional “prince saves the day again.” After achieving such unprecedentedย success, there’s monumental pressure onย Frozen 2 to surpass the original. It’s hard to imagine the sequel significantly raising the bar, but if anyone was to meet such a challenge, it would be Disney.ย

Indiana Jones 5

ย 

Release Date: July 10th, 2020

Even though fans still haven’t recovered from the travesties ofย Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, we’re getting another installment – and this time we’re hoping that director Steven Spielberg and actor Harrison Ford can deliver something more in step with franchise expectations.ย 

Gigantic

Disney's Gigantic release date 2020

Release Date: Nov. 25th, 2020.ย 

This modern retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk sees a Spanish adventure-seeker, who forms a friendship with a lost little girl – who happens to be from a race of giants who live in the clouds. Sounds like a classic Disney buddy-comedy/adventure.ย
