Disney Dining Disney Dining Tips, News, and Reviews
The current writer’s strike has caused issues for big projects still in production, and now it seems to have caused irrevocable damage to the Walt Disney Company’s release dates for the next few years. While major projects’ debuts have already been announced, those release plans have been canceled.
It seems that many screenplays are not in their final drafts, and studios cannot move on to filming without the writers.
Here are the major shifts in when upcoming films will hit theaters.

It seems that Marvel’s sheer volume of upcoming film content got hit the worse by the delay. It’s also pretty crazy to see a release date for the year 2031. While these are the current updated release dates, it is not clear if the schedule will have to change again if the writer’s strike is not resolved soon.
In fact, the Screen Actor’s Guild, the union for screen actors, is considering striking as well at the end of the month if their own negotiations aren’t met. There’s no telling how much damage that will do to the timeline in terms of new release dates.
