Fresh off of blowing up Hall H at Comic-Con with their announcement that Robert Downey Jr is back in the MCU (playing Doctor Doom) comes D23, the ultimate Disney fan event happening in Anaheim. Our man Alex Maidy is on the ground now, in the audience, and will be sending in his life dispatches, so if you’re missing the event, we’ve got you covered.

Here are the announcements (as they come in):

The First (Tiny) Peaks at Snow White & Tron: Ares revealed:

Just like they did with Comic-Con, the presentation started off with a quick sizzle reel teasing some of the footage being doled out during the presentation. Most noteworthy was the fact that it contained tiny snippets of Gal Gadot in character as the Evil Queen in Snow White, as well as a glimpse at Tron Ares (check out more about that movie HERE).

Moana 2:

The presentation started with Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson teasing Moana 2, which began life as a Disney Plus series before pivoting to a feature. In the presentation they teased that this time the villain would be the “storm of all storms.” Here’s the new trailer, which dropped during the presentation:

Monster Jam:

It looks like Moana 2‘s not the only thing keeping Johnson in-house at Disney. He’ll also be making a movie out of the Monster Jam event where trucks battle each other in an arena:

Avatar 3 gets an official title.

None other than James Cameron then took the stage to tease the next instalment in the Avatar franchise, which he promises is going into “challenging territory” and is “not what you expect, but it’s definitely what you want.” He also promised we’ll see a lot more of Pandora than ever before. He then brought his stars, Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana on-stage, who announced the official new title, Avatar: Fire and Ash.

Pixar:

Fresh off its juggernaut success at the box office, Inside Out 2 is getting a Disney Plus spin-off from Pixar called Dream Productions, which is coming in 2025. It’s set between the first two films and explains where Riley’s dreams come from. Even cooler is the fact that they officially announced Toy Story 5 for 2026, with none other than Andrew Stanton (Wall-E, Finding Nemo) writing and directing!
