Walt Disney Studios updated its release schedule through 2021 — and the company has several potential blockbusters planned for 2019. Deadline.com published a copy of the release dates.
In 2019, Disney plans to release “Captain Marvel” in March, an as-of-yet untitled “Avengers” film and “Star Wars: Episode IX” in May, “Toy Story 4” in June, a live action version of “The Lion King” in July and “Frozen 2” on the day before Thanksgiving.
A fifth “Indiana Jones” film is slated for 2020, which is a year later than it was originally slated for, according to Variety.
A sequel to 2013’s smash hit “Frozen” was originally announced in 2015. Stars Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad are expected to return for the sequel, according to Entertainment Weekly.
“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” hits theaters in December, and fans will have to wait only 18 months for the next installment, for now called “Star Wars: Episode IX.” In between, fans of the series can feast on a Han Solo film, which is scheduled for a May 25, 2018 release.
Disney has a slew of untitled movies on the schedule for 2020 and 2021, including several Pixar animated films and Marvel titles.
