Disney just wiped two films off its 2026 slate and pushed a 2027 title back by months, a sharp shuffle amid a busy year that has delivered Captain America: Brave New World, Snow White, and more.

Disney just did a little calendar cleanup: two mystery movies vanished from 2026, and a third untitled project got bumped in 2027. One wrinkle: that delay came with a date swap that pulls Pixar’s next original, 'Gatto', forward a few months. Classic studio shuffle.

For context, the company has been in overdrive this year across its various labels. We’ve already seen releases like 'Captain America: Brave New World', 'Snow White', 'Lilo & Stitch', 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps', 'Freakier Friday', 'Tron: Ares', 'Predator: Badlands', 'Zootopia 2', 'Ella McCay', 'Avatar: Fire and Ash', and more. And 2026 is still stacked with 'Hoppers', 'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come', 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', 'The Mandalorian and Grogu', 'Toy Story 5', 'Moana', and 'Avengers: Doomsday'. So no, the pipeline isn’t drying up — this is more about fine-tuning the board.

What actually moved

  • Two untitled Disney films — previously dated for September 11, 2026 and November 6, 2026 — have been removed from the release calendar entirely.
  • Another untitled Disney project shifted from March 5, 2027 to June 18, 2027.
  • That move swapped dates with Pixar’s 'Gatto', which was originally set for June 18, 2027 and is now arriving March 5, 2027.

If you’re trying to guess what those scrapped 2026 titles were, here’s the nerdy scheduling detail: when Disney is holding dates for Marvel or Star Wars, they usually label them as 'Untitled Marvel' or 'Untitled Star Wars'. These weren’t labeled that way, which strongly suggests they weren’t from those universes.

Bottom line: two unknowns are gone from late 2026, an unknown moved within 2027, and 'Gatto' quietly jumped up to early March 2027. The rest of Disney’s slate — including all the 2026 heavy hitters — is still intact for now. Expect official titles to materialize (or re-materialize) once the studio is ready to plant flags again.
