You can see the complete list of film titles and release dates below:

THE AMATEUR (20th) previously dated on 11/8/24 moves to 4/11/25

NIGHTBITCH (Searchlight) is now dated on 12/6/24 (Limited)

MOANA (Disney) previously dated on 6/27/25 moves to 7/10/26

UNTITLED DISNEY (Disney) previously dated on 7/10/26 is removed from schedule

THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU (Disney) is the updated title of UNTITLED STAR WARS dated on 5/22/26

TOY STORY 5 (Disney) is the updated title of UNTITLED PIXAR dated on 6/19/26

TRON: ARES (Disney) is the updated title of UNTITLED DISNEY dated on 10/10/25

The Mandalorian & Grogu will be directed by Jon Favreau, who will also produce alongside Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni. Production is expected to kick off later this year. “I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,” Favreau said in February. “The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.” Kathleen Kennedy added, “Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have ushered into Star Wars two new and beloved characters, and this new story is a perfect fit for the big screen.”

Meanwhile, TRON: Ares “follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.”

TRON: Ares is a follow-up to Disney’s 1982 seminal science fiction film TRON and the 2010 sequel, TRON: Legacy. Jared Leto leads the cast of TRON: Ares, with Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, and Gillian Anderson filling out the primary cast.

TRON: Ares is in Vancouver production and slated for a 2025 release. Joachim Rønning (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Kon-Tiki, Pirates of Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) directs from material written by Steven Lisberger, Bonnie MacBird, and Jack Thorne.

We first saw TRON: Ares in February when Disney shared a teaser image from the forthcoming sequel. Speaking about the forthcoming TRON film, Rønning said, “I’m excited to be part of the TRON franchise and bring this new film to fans around the world. ‘TRON: Ares’ builds upon the legacy of cutting-edge design, technology and storytelling. Now more than ever, it feels like the right time to return to the Grid.”

Disney’s live-action adaptation of Moana comes promptly after the studio shared the first image from the animated sequel Moana 2. Dwayne Johnson, Auli’i Cravalho, and Alan Tudyk reprise their roles in the forthcoming animated adventure as Maui, Moana, and Hei Hei, respectively. David G. Derrick Jr. directs the project from his own script.

Disney CEO Bob Iger first announced Toy Story 5 in February 2023, though plot details remain a mystery. Reports say the sequel could split the story into two parts, with one half focusing on the toys helping Bonnie cope with the overwhelming demands of school. At the same time, the other could follow Woody, Bo, Ducky, Bunny, Giggles McDimples, and Duke Caboom and their lives at the traveling carnival. The two stories could intersect, though we’ll need to wait for more details.

More details to come…

Alan Ritchson has proven to be a welcome addition to the action genre, leading Amazon’s Reacher into two seasons so far (with a third in the works). And while he has dabbled in the superhero genre before, Ritchson may be ready to take on one of the biggest comic book heroes ever, declaring that Batman is the one for him.

When asked about his career bucket list, Ritchson suggested that playing Batman easily stands at the top, saying, “I would love to play Batman. There, I said it, OK? I’ll shout it from the rooftops: I wanna be Bruce Wayne!” He added that he admires the Caped Crusader not just because of his prominence in the world of comics but because of how smart he is. “Here’s the thing about Batman – you know what his superpower is? Intelligence. Dude is the smartest superhero there is. Like, he’s inventive and he’s got all the gadgets stuff, but he’s super smart. I want to be that guy and also to have…a cave with hypercars, sports cars, and awesome motorcycles…I’m into that stuff.” So there it is, the latest pitch to have Alan Ritchson play Batman – from Ritchson himself!

The call to have Alan Ritchson play Batman in the DC Universe – particularly in the forthcoming The Brave and the Bold – has been met with some controversy. Sure, the actor no doubt has the bulk if the character is taken in that direction and can deliver on action-oriented scenes, but can he pull off the character as a whole? Ritchson isn’t exactly known to be a complex actor, which has caused some failure with even the most famous of Batman portrayers. Much will depend on just how the DC Universe will choose to present Batman on the big screen going forward, but right now, Ritchson doesn’t have 100% fan support.

Outside of his Batman hopes, Alan Ritchson has a fairly busy first part of the year, with drama Ordinary Angels out in February and Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare due later this month.

Do you think Alan Ritchson could successfully portray Batman? If not, who do you see taking on the character going forward?

Who wants to come along and ride with James Cameron on a Fantastic Voyage? During a Paris masterclass at Cinematheque Francaise showcasing the legendary filmmaker’s talent as a graphic artist, Cameron commented on his long-gestating remake of the Richard Fleischer-directed science-fiction adventure film Fantastic Voyage, saying he still plans to produce a remake of the classic cinematic gem.

“We’ve been developing it for a number of years, and we plan to go ahead with it very soon,” Cameron said about producing the remake with his friend Jon Landau. “Raquel Welch is not available, but we think we can make a pretty good movie.” In 1966’s Fantastic Voyage, a crew is shrunk and injected into the bloodstream of a comatose scientist to repair a blood clot.

“The Art of James Cameron” in Paris features over 300 of Cameron’s paintings, etchings, and production designs from his private collection. Cameron has signed every piece, which reflects different times in his fabled career. The event organizers chose the layout for the tour, so even Cameron was surprised by the elaborate display.

During the event, James Cameron also spoke about developing his first film in the Terminator franchise, saying he needed to step in when the project didn’t have a designer.

“I figured we didn’t have the money for a designer, and I could draw, so what the hell,” Cameron recalled. “I drew everything, and storyboarded the film very, very meticulously.”

Cameron also remarked on the challenge of portraying guns in the film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Michael Biehn. Guns were a foreign concept to Cameron, forcing him to look elsewhere for inspiration. He found it in the gun-obsessed United States.

“The Terminator’s” script was lean and mean and full of weapons, a fact that soon proved an issue for a Canadian director exploring unfamiliar ground. “I knew nothing about guns,” Cameron said. “And then I thought, ‘This is America, I can just go buy them!’”

Reflecting on the film, Cameron says he regrets fetishizing firearms in The Terminator, saying modern gun violence makes him feel ill.

“I look back on some films that I’ve made, and I don’t know if I would want to make that film now. I don’t know if I would want to fetishize the gun, like I did on a couple of ‘Terminator’ movies 30-plus years ago, in our current world,” he said. “What’s happening with guns in our society turns my stomach.”
