Why You Can Trust CNET Disney Adds a Ton of 'Untitled Disney' Movies, Including One This Year
Mysterious new films from Disney, Pixar and Marvel are filling up the release schedules.
The house of mouse celebrates its 100th birthday in 2023.
Save the date: Disney has blocked out the calendar into 2028, adding a ton of mystery Marvel movies, cryptic Pixar flicks and a ton of "Untitled Disney" films. Disney has even announced one of these mysterious untitled movies will be released this year.
The first "Untitled Disney" will be released in theaters Dec. 1, 2023, according to a new calendar sent to press Friday. This year is Disney's 100th anniversary, so we were already looking forward to centenary-celebrating cartoon Wish, live-action reboot The Little Mermaid, Pixar animation Elemental, theme park spinoff Haunted Mansion and Indiana Jones (not to mention Marvel adventures Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and The Marvels).
Whatever the mystery Untitled Disney movie turns out to be in December, it'll be up against rivals including Wonka, a Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel and DC's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
In 2025, Disney will release 12 films in theaters, including the previously announced Fantastic Four and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, plus two more Marvel movies. In 2026 the house of mouse is dropping 15 (!) films.
Following the success of Avatar: The Way of Water, Avatar 3, 4 and 5 land in the holiday seasons of 2024, 2026 and 2028. And the plan is still to release new Star Wars movies in 2025 and 2027, but there's no word yet on what they are.
