Disney announces their upcoming film schedule until 2027

Since Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox completed back in March, the company will also be adding a whole host of Fox films to their distribution schedule.

From now until 2027, Disney will distribute more than 65 films theatrically across Marvel Studios, Pixar, Lucasfilm, Disney Animation, Disney Live Action Films and now 20th Century Fox.

Disney has live-action remakes of some of their animated classics including Pinocchio, Oliver Twist, James and the Giant Peach, Peter Pan, The Sword in the Stone, The Little Mermaid, Snow White.

What’s still a mystery is some of the Marvel films listed on the list below. Disney and Marvel have said they won’t be announcing any details about upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Films until after Spider-Man: Far From Home releases (which is set for July 2nd, 2019 and is still part of the MCU but distributed by Sony, not Disney) and takes place directly after the box office juggernaut Avengers: Endgame. 

It also looks like after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in December, we’ll see a two-year break before we get more Star Wars films, which could either be Rian Johnson’s upcoming trilogy or the trilogy from the Game of Thrones creators.
