It looks like 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for Disney movies. The company recently dropped a ton of announcements about its upcoming release schedule, including new release dates for two major films!
In a major Disney movie news drop, we learned that we’ll have to wait a little bit longer to see a few upcoming projects. First, the live-action Moana movie that was originally slated to open in 2025 has been pushed back to July 10th, 2026. But don’t worry, Moana fans — you can still catch the animated sequel to the original, Moana 2, in November 2024.

It was also revealed that a spy thriller with Rami Malek and Rachel Brosnahan titled The Amateur will be pushed back from November 8th, 2024 to April 11th, 2025.
