From The Little Mermaid to Guardians of the Galaxy and Haunted Mansion, Walt Disney Studios has been pumping out a lot of great content over the past year. Of course, Disney never sleeps, so that means there are even more exciting releases on the horizon.
The upcoming year of Disney productions will see more reboots and adaptations, such as Snow White and Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and new sequels and spin-offs, like Ahsoka and Inside Out 2. Keep reading for the complete scoop on the most anticipated films releasing over the next year.
Ahsoka — Aug. 23, 2023
Star Wars fans have been looking forward to the release of Ahsoka since 2020, and the wait is almost over. In just three weeks from now, Ahsoka will premiere on Disney+, with Rosario Dawson filling the titular role—which she first performed on The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
The new series will follow Ahsoka Tano on an adventure to save the universe from an unknown threat.
The Marvels — Nov. 10, 2023
Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel might be one of the most lovable MCU superheroes, so we're happy to see her hit the big screen alongside Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) for The Marvels on Nov. 10. This film will see Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau joining forces after they begin switching bodies after using their powers.
The Marvels will mark the third release in the franchise's Phase 5 and be written and directed by Nia DaCosta.

Wish — Nov. 22, 2023
Time to celebrate! We've got a new Disney princess—Asha.
Wish, out Nov. 22, will find our leading lady, played by Ariana DeBose, wishing on a star to save her kingdom after she senses impending danger. Asha will work alongside her shooting star to save the kingdom.
The directors of the film, Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn, worked on Frozen 3, and hitmaker Julia Michaels will write the music for Wish.
Elio — March 1, 2024
Elio, which releases on March 1, tells the story of a preteen boy who gets abducted by aliens and becomes their ambassador for planet Earth. The project will be Pixar's first project of 2024.
Yonas Kibreab of Pretty Freekin' Scary and Sweet Tooth will star as Elio, and America Ferrera will play his mother.
Snow White — March 22, 2024
As major defenders of Disney's live-action adaptations, we are thrilled about the drop of Snow White in March 2024. Powerhouse Rachel Zegler—who boasts credits in West Side Story, Shazam! and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes—plays Snow White and Gal Gadot will be the Evil Queen. While many reboots remain faithful to the original, Snow White will have some changes, including a new character played by Andrew Burnap.

Inside Out 2 — June 14, 2024
It's always fun when one of your favorite Disney animations gets a sequel—on June 14, exactly that will happen for Inside Out fans. According to Amy Poehler, who voices Joy, Inside Out 2 will "take place inside Riley's head, only this time she's a teenager." Riley will now have more complex emotions, though Amy will return as Joy.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians — 2024
We were huge fans of the Percy Jackson films, so it's hard to contain our excitement for the reboot. Rather than an aged-up Percy from the original films, this new series will feature an age-accurate cast, played by Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabelle Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood). Since this is a television series, fingers crossed that we'll dive deeper than only the first two books, like the Logan Lerman series.
