  • Disney Shifts Future Film Slate

    Disney Shifts Future Film Slate

    The wave of Disney pushing back release dates for theatrical projects continues even with the gradual decline of the pandemic. It has officially been revealed that multiple projects are moving around from their initially announced release dates. 

    Most notably, the untitled Marvel Studios film initially scheduled to release on February 16, 2024, has moved back a few months into September 6, 2024. It has yet to be revealed what film would’ve filled this date (especially with the other later releasing 2024 films being revealed earlier this year at San Diego Comic-Con), but it has been speculated by some that this would’ve been the date for the Deadpool sequel film in development and apparently nearing the start of production. As well, Haunted Mansion will be moving up from its scheduled August 11, 2023 release to March 10, 2023.

    In addition, Disney has revealed the following release dates for various notable upcoming films in 2024:

    • Pixar’s Elio – March 1, 2024
    • The Rachel Zegler-led Snow White – March 22, 2024
    • Pixar’s Inside Out 2 – June 14, 2024
    • Barry Jenkins’ prequel Mufasa: The Lion King – July 5, 2024

    One point of concern in all these moves comes with the removal of Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron from Disney’s release schedule. The film had previously been earmarked for a December 22, 2023 release, but essentially no updates have been made for the film in an extended period of time. This certainly doesn’t mean that the film is canceled, but it serves as an indicator that the highly anticipated film in the Star Wars franchise is much further away than Lucasfilm had initially planned for.

    D23: ‘Inside Out’ Sequel Confirmed, Kelsey Mann to Direct

    Well, it looks like the rumors were true, as the sequel to Pixar’s iconic Inside Out has been announced to finish off the animation studios’ segment during the big Disney panel. They have confirmed that Kelsey Mann will direct the sequel. It’ll be written by Meg LeFauve. There was no word on the rumor surrounding some cast members not returning for the sequel with only Amy Poehler confirmed, but it is eyeing a Summer 2024 and will have some new emotions. We will return with Riley as we explore her time as a teenager.

  • REPORT: Pixar May Reveal an ‘Inside Out’ Sequel During D23

    REPORT: Pixar May Reveal an ‘Inside Out’ Sequel During D23

    D23 is finally here and as per usual, it seems that some news is hitting the web shortly before the event starts to get people’s gears turning on what exactly the future has in store. While Marvel Studios was quite the victim of this trend in the past, especially shortly before their panel during San Diego Comic-Con a few months ago, it seems Pixar is hit this time around. In a new piece by Puck’s Matthew Belloni, he reveals that a sequel to Inside Out is set to be announced at D23.

    It’s unclear exactly what the story might be or how it continues the original, but he does highlight that Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling are not set to return for the sequel. They took on the role of Fear and Disgust, but it would seem strange not to include the same emotions s the original did. Of course, we don’t know if this will stick to the original storyline and continue exploring the story of Kaitlyn Dias’ Riley growing up. There’s a chance they might take the concept and explore someone else’s life to mix things up. We did see the emotions of her parents also have their own voices.

    Still, Inside Out was quite a popular release and used a rather creative concept to tell a story about how we all try to handle our own emotions. It’s definitely an idea that opens up to many more possibilities and it does seem fitting that they’d potentially explore this part of their Pixar universe again. Who knows, perhaps it ends up as a Disney+ series that tells different stories from many different perspectives, as everyone tries to handle their own emotions.
