Are you ready to let it go over some out-of-this-galaxy news that makes you want to roar?
The Walt Disney Studios has just updated its release schedule—which means it’s time for Disney fans to update their calendars!
Some release dates are simply worth melting for… Frozen 2 has been scheduled to open on November 27, 2019. Development of the sequel to the blockbuster film from Walt Disney Animation Studios was announced in March 2015, with the Oscar®-winning team of directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee and producer Peter Del Vecho returning to continue the adventures of the characters fans first fell in love with in 2012.
Lightspeed to May 24, 2019—the date on which Star Wars: Episode IX is now slated to open! Colin Trevorrow is directing the film that concludes the third trilogy of Star Wars movies that began with the 2015 opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And if that date feels far, far away, fear not, for Star Wars: The Last Jedi is coming to a theater near you on December 15, 2017, and 2018 brings the untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story on May 25.
The Lion King, directed by Jon Favreau, will open in theaters on July 19, 2019. Actor James Earl Jones is reprising the role of Mufasa in the live-action reimagining of the Disney animated classic, and Donald Glover is voicing the adult Simba in the new film. The savanna and its amazing inhabitants will come to photorealistic life through technology that builds upon the innovative filmmaking audiences loved in Favreau’s adaptation of The Jungle Book.
Of course, those aren’t the only opening dates you’re going to want to circle in red. Take a look at this list for 2017 and 2018—and set those calendar alerts. There’s a lot of popcorn in your not-too-distant future, and there’s always room for surprises, too! Stay tuned to D23 for all of the updates about these films, and more to come in the future.
