Upcoming Disney movies from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Marvel, and beyond

Disney keeps its slate pretty jampacked with magical, original storytelling and inspired returns to its beloved tales. Between its franchise like Star Wars and Marvel, as well as its 20th Century Studio productions, and of course the beloved Walt Disney Studio Animations and Pixar, there’s plenty of upcoming Disney movies worth keeping a tab on.

We’ve thrown together a list of all the upcoming Disney movies, from those on the 2025 release slate to those with confirmed release dates for next year and beyond, as well as other projects in pre-production and development (that we’re refraining from getting too excited about just yet).

Disney movies coming out in 2025

Elio (June 20, 2025)

The latest Pixar outing sees eleven year old Elio get his wish to be abducted by aliens, only to find himself mistaken for the ambassador of earth as a crisis of intergalactic proportions threatens the safety of the universe at large.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25, 2025)

Kicking off Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe sees another reboot for the famous family with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Set in a parallel retro-futuristic earth, Mister Fantastic and his family must defend their Earth from Galactus and Silver Surfer. Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, this is a pretty exciting one!

Freakier Friday (August 8, 2025)

We do love a sequel, especially for something as nostalgic and as integral as our childhood as Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Curtis Lee’s Freaky Friday. And, good gracious, these two women have had quite the career since the original early noughties movie. Now double the body swap, this will be a hoot for the whole family.

 

 

Tron: Ares (October 10, 2025)

Over a decade since the last Tron film, it seems inevitable the science fiction franchise would delve into the murky waters of AI. With an excellent ensemble cast, including Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, and Gillian Anderson, Tron: Ares sees the titular AI being cross over from the digital world into the real world on a lethal mission.

 

 

Zootropalis 2 (November 25, 2025)

Disney's very own police procedural is back with Judy and Nick once again finding themselves on the trail of a tantalising case. Caught in a bind with a mysterious reptile, the success of their slithery sleuthing could be the make or break of their metropolis bliss. It's going to be super fun, and it's also coming out in IMAX!

 

 

Avatar: Fire and Ash (December 19, 2025)

Kinda like a bus, you wait 13 years for the sequel, and now then they all come at once – well, sort of. The third Avatar film is on the way after the long awaited follow-up to its 2009 original, Avatar: The Way of Water. Following on from the events of the 2022 movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash sees Jake and Neytiri grieve the loss of Neteyam and face new, fiery foes in the Ash People tribe as Pandora comes to blows once again.

Beyond this year, there are lots of movies coming from Walt Disney Studios and its subsidiaries, some already with dates penciled in.
