Disney’s Next Star Wars Trilogy Will Drop In 2023 Due To Pandemic

Last year Disney set a release date for a new slate of Star Wars movies, but the date will no longer see the movie drop, with theaters closed and productions shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s pushing the planned release dates back by a full year.

That means the first movie, which was directed by Taika Waititi, will debut on December 22nd, 2023, followed by the others in 2025 and 2027.

That’s giving fans some extra time to wait, but really it’s nothing compared to the Avatar sequels. Now owned by Disney after its acquisition of Fox, those have also been pushed back. Deadline mentions that Avatar 2 is now on the schedule for December 16th, 2022. That’s a year after it was expected, but the movie had originally been announced for release in 2014.
