Disney expend its Tuesday shaking up its pic release schedule in some very , very big ways . The full-grown takeaway ? ThatDecember 2025 Star Wars movieis no more . That ’ll now be make out out May 22 , 2026 , anda indorsement Star Wars picture show is make out outlater that year on December 18 , 2026 .
Also , after thehuge success of Avatar : The manner of Water , James Cameron needs a bit more prison term to fetch up his saga . Actually , a lot more time . Avatar 3 will now be out a year later on December 19 , 2025 . incarnation 4 movement several year to December 21 , 2029 , and Avatar 5 moves to December 2031 . Will we even all still be around ?
Thebulk of the Marvel slatehas moved too . Captain America : Brave New World was suppose to come out in May 2024 but now it ’ll be out August 26 , 2024 . That delays Thunderbolts to December 20 , 2024 ; Blade to February 14 , 2025 ; and Fantastic Four to May 2 , 2025 . But what about the Avengers ? They ’re hurt defective of all .

Deadpool 3 , however , now move up . Originally dated for November 8 , 2024 , we ’ll now see it on May 3 , 2024 . The live - action Moana also go into the docket . That ’s coming on June 27 , 2025 . Also getting a release day of the month : Fede Alvarez ’s Alien movie , arriving August 16 , 2024 .
So why all the movement ? Two words : writers strike . Movies like this ca n’t be made without script ( despite what some critic might say ) , and with writers not presently working on them , thing have to be delayed . The enceinte surprisal , for us , is the Avatar stuff . Those coming every other year seemed altogether attainable but now there are three and four - class gap ? That seems groundless , specially since they ’ve all been preplanned . Then again , though , there was no guarantee before The elbow room of Water that parts four and five would ever happen and now , they certainly will . Also the legal community is that much higher .
ultimately , did Disney get wind nothing from the previous Star Wars films ? After a seven - year wait at this point , it thinks free two movies in the same year is a good musical theme ? There ’s so , so much to break down here .
