‘Star Wars’ Film Pulled From 2026 Launch

One more Star Wars film has been pulled from one more deliberate launch date.

Disney and Lucasfilm had penciled within the a brand new Star Wars movie for launch in theaters on December 18, 2026, somewhat over two years from now. However now, based on a number of media studies, that isn’t taking place. As an alternative, Disney can be releasing a brand new Ice Age animated characteristic on that date. (Disney acquired Ice Age of their buy of twentieth Century Fox.)

Per Selection, “whereas it was by no means confirmed precisely what this venture could be, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy was beforehand introduced because the director of an upcoming Star Wars movie following Daisy Ridley’s Rey after the occasions of 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” Again in October, it was reported that this venture had misplaced its screenwriter, with the departure of Steven Knight.

Though Lucasfilm has launched a gentle stream of TV tasks to Disney+ since 2019, it’s now 5 years and counting for the reason that final Star Wars characteristic movie got here to theaters. In that point an entire slew of tasks have been introduced or rumored and are available to nothing, together with a Rogue Squadron film directed by Patty Jenkins, a thriller venture from Marvel’s Kevin Feige, and full trilogies of films from Rian Johnson and Sport of Thrones’ Benioff and Weiss.

With one more Star Wars movie at the very least delayed (if not completely postponed) meaning the earliest we’ll see a brand new Star Wars movie in theaters is Might of 2026 — when the film model of The Mandalorian is meant to debut. And Disney has one other Star Wars film of some type scheduled for Christmas of 2027 — at the very least tentatively. You’re forgiven if at this level you might be skeptical about any of those Star Wars tasks ever seeing the sunshine of day.
