New Star Wars and Marvel films coming, says Disney, but Avatar 2 is delayed

Could there be a Rey spin-off film in the works?

Disney has announced three new Star Wars films, and a delay to Avatar 2.

The three new Star Wars movies haven't got names yet, but will be released in 2022, 2024 and 2026.

The Star Wars Skywalker saga will conclude this year, so people are speculating about what these new films will focus on.

Will they be about Rey, Finn, Poe and BB-8? Or three completely new spin-off films?

Eight new Marvel films have also been announced!

There will be a Black Widow solo film and the company has confirmed that Black Panther 2 is on its way. There are also rumours that there will be movies for both Shang-Chi and The Eternals.

Will Avatar break box office records again?

Disney also announced that the Avatar sequels will be delayed.

Avatar 2 was supposed to be released in 2020, but will now be delayed until 2021.

This will also have a knock-on effect on the other sequels, Avatar 3,4 and 5, which will be released in 2023, 2025, and 2027.

The first Avatar film came out in 2009 and took around 10 years of planning to make, because the technology wasn't ready yet.

It was one of the highest-grossing films of all time, earning around $2.8 billion (over £2.1 billion) for the makers Fox, who were recently bought by Disney.
