Get to speculating folks, because Disney just lined up their non-Star Wars movie release date calendar through 2023, and it’s jam-packed with all the untitled Marvel, live-action, and animation movie you could ask for (some would argue more, at that – how many live-action adaptations can you make?!) In fact, there are far more mystery titles on this list than rumored projects in development – especially when it comes to those Marvel movies.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has articulated time and again thatAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers 4mark a culmination of the entire MCU to date and remained guarded on what comes after, insisting that the folks over at the studio have kept the focus on finishing out Phase 3. But now, with a slew of new release dates on the docket, it seems likely that Feige and Co. have nailed down the game plan for Phase 4 of the Marvel universe.
Or at least a loose version of it – with that Disney/Fox deal on track to close within the scheduled window, no doubt Feige’s team has come up with some contingency plans a bit like they did withCivil War. Ahead of the groundbreaking Sony deal, the Marvel creative team came up with plans for both a movie with and without the friendly neighborhood web-slinger. The only post-Avengers 4movie that’s been openly discussed so far isGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3(though it hasn’t been directly confirmed), but you can probably put safe odds on at least one of these movies being aBlack Panthersequel. Just a hunch. But Feige has done a damn fine job keeping the rest a mystery for now. Hopefully, we’ll get another full-on Phase 4 title reveal soon.
A few other major shakeups are hiding in there, too.Mulangot a major release date bump, from November 2018 all the way back to March 2020, bringing dishonor to us all, and the female Santa Clause holiday pictureNicolehas been removed from the schedule. The film was previously set to land in theaters in November 2019, withAnna KendrickandBill Haderin talks to star. PerVariety, the Christmas comedy has jumped over to Disney’s bourgeoning over-the-top streaming service, which is expected to launch in 2019.
Now, onto all those untitled live-action movies. Daaaaaamn. That’s a lot remakes and reboots. Of course, Disney’s live-action wing doesn’t just revamp the beloved animated properties (though looking at the box office behind recent hits likeThe Jungle BookandBeauty and the Beast, I’m willing to bet a whole lot of these fall in that camp), they also produce lowkey dramas likeQueen of KatweandMillion Dollar Armand fantasy adaptations likeThe BFGandA Wrinkle in Time. As for what some of the live action titles might be, here’s a full breakdown ofall the live-action remakes Disney has in development, which range from old school classics likePinnochioandSnow Whiteto peak nostalgia remakes likeThe Little Mermaid, and some weirder stuff like aPrince Charmingmovie.
