From our special correspondent in Anaheim, California
On this Friday evening, the Honda Center in Anaheim is on fire. Fans gathered to listen to Disney bosses take stock of the cinema and series releases of the coming years. Between new releases, trailers and appearances by superstars, the evening was rich.
From Disney Animation to Pixar, via Marvel Studios, the next two years will be very important for the American giant. We summarize the important and interesting announcements for you.
What's new at Pixar
The announcements concerning Pixar studios provoked a little nostalgia among spectators. The Incredibles will return to the cinema for a third part for the summer of 2028. If the whole family will go on an adventure, the film will mainly focus on the children and their powers. Violet, Flèche and Jack Jack want to prove to their parents and the whole world that they can be heroes and protect their city too.
Miguel, one of the Pixar characters that we appreciate the most, will be in the cinema with Coco 2 in November 2029. The child with the guitar has changed a lot since we were able to discover his new haircut, worthy of a teenager. The plot will focus on the return of Ernesto De la Cruz. Benjamin Bratt, who lends his voice to the musician (and crook) took the stage to announce to the audience that he would reprise his role as the legendary singer: “Ernesto de la Cruz is back for revenge… proving that destiny is full of surprises. » Fans of the film have something to jump to the ceiling. As an added bonus, it was revealed that Coco will be part of the upcoming Kingdom Hearts video game, which is scheduled for release soon.
If Pixar has planned several sequels to past successes, the studio has also prepared its next original film: Ghost Market. The film is inspired by Asian myths where in stores, the living and the dead interact. “Kyle is a talkative teen and content creator from Chicago,” says Pete Doctor, Pixar’s chief content officer. “His life is turned upside down when his mother forces him to go on vacation to Hawaii. He accidentally discovers a mysterious market hidden in the middle of nowhere. He then realizes that his quest for a nighttime snack has taken an unexpected turn. He discovered the crossroads of the world of the living and the dead. » This beautiful novelty is planned for spring 2028.
Still a lot of films from Marvel
Ryan Gosling joins the big Star Wars family. The American will be on our screens in Star Wars: Starfighter, scheduled to hit theaters on May 28, 2027. The plot of the film will take place five years after the end of the last trilogy, and certain characters from the universe could make a return.
The long-awaited X-Men film is finally coming to the Marvel Universe. Kevin Feige, head of superhero studios, officially announced that the film will be released on May 5, 2028. The cast will include Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm and Christopher Abbott as Professor evil Mr. Sinister.
In a few months, the Avengers will say goodbye to the cinema. During D23, we were able to watch a new extract from the film Avengers: Doomsday. We could see that Thor failed to hit Doctor Doom. The villain managed to block the blow before blasting the Norse god with a ray of green energy. Doom then summons an army of Sentinels, the famous villains of the X-Men.
Olaf, Nick from Zootopia and a kind witch for Walt Disney Animations
Disney has announced that Zootopia 3 is well in preparation following the immense success of the second opus last year. The film became the company's highest-grossing animated film with $1.8 billion in worldwide box office revenue. After the reptiles, Nick and Jodie will face the birds.
As a world premiere, we were also able to discover the first images of Frozen 3. Although it is known that the film will be released in November 2027, the plot remains secret. We only learned that Anna and Kristoff are going to get married, that a new villain is going to put the two sisters to the test and that, surprise, Olaf is going to find love.
