Disney has announced that all scheduled Star Wars and Avatar films between 2021 and 2027 are being pushed back one year. That means there will be no “Avatar 2” in 2021 and no new Star Wars film in 2022.
The plan all along has been for Disney to alternate releasing either a Star Wars or Avatar movie every Christmas season. The new release schedule is:
December 16, 2022: Avatar 2
December 22, 2023: Star Wars (Directed by Taika Waititi)
December 20, 2024: Avatar 3
December 19, 2025: Star Wars
December 18, 2026: Avatar 4
December 17, 2027: Star Wars
December 22, 2028: Avatar 5

The live action reimagining of Mulan — which had been repeatedly delayed and was slated for August 21 — has been put on a shelf until there’s some reasonable certainty that a release date can be set and kept. The same goes for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet (previously set for August 12).
At this time the X-Men horror movie The New Mutants (now owned by Disney) still has a release date set for August 28, followed by A Quiet Place II scheduled for September 4th. At this point only a fool would think those movies will actually see the light of day on those dates.
On the bright side, when there’s a vaccine and we can hopefully go back to theaters there will be blockbusters releasing every other week for a year just to clear the backlog. That’s assuming all the theater chains don’t go bankrupt before then.
Don’t miss your favorite movie moments because you have to pee or need a snack. Use the RunPee app (Androidor iPhone) when you go to the movies. We have Peetimes for all wide release films every week, including Moana 2, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, Kraven the Hunter, Wicked, Gladiator II and coming soon Mufasa: The Lion King, Nosferatu, A Complete Unknown and many others. We have literally thousands of Peetimes—from classic movies through today’s blockbusters. You can also keep up with movie news and reviews on our blog, or by following us on Twitter @RunPee. If there’s a new film out there, we’ve got your bladder covered.
