Star Wars fans are in for a treat after Disney announced there will be a trio of untitled Star Wars entries after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker brings the Skywalker spinoff saga to a close this December.
The first of the new three films will hit the big screen on 16 December 2022, followed by two others that will premiere on 20 December 2024 and 18 December 2026. The news means that Disney is poised to dominate the busy holiday movie-going season for the foreseeable future. Moviegoers will be treated to new Na’vi and Jedi adventures each year between 2021 and 2027.
Disney also made some adjustments to a few upcoming releases including Avatar sequels, Fox’s The New Mutants, Gambit and other others.
On the proposed schedule, Cathleen Taff, the studio’s president of theatrical distribution says in a statement: “We’re excited to put in place a robust and diverse slate that lays the foundation of our long-term strategy, bringing together a breadth of films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Fox, Fox Searchlight, and Blue Sky Studios to create an extraordinary collection of cinematic experiences for audiences around the world.
“With a strong summer already in place, we are eager to carry that momentum forward over the coming years thanks to a creative wellspring of bold and imaginative stories coming from our world-class studios — including several new chapters of two revered franchises, Avatar and Star Wars.“
