Zootopia 2 Gets 2025 Release Date as Disney Reveals Timings for Toy Story 5, Frozen 3 and More

During Disney’s Q1 2024 earnings call today, CEO Bob Iger casually rattled off release windows for some of its most anticipated movies, including sequels for Toy Story, Frozen, and Zootopia, as well as The Mandalorian and Grogu.

After Iger said on the call that Zootopia 2 would be arriving in 2025, Disney sent an announcement with its exact release date: November 26, 2025. That same announcement also confirmed that the new Alien movie premiering on August 16, 2024, will be called Alien: Romulus, although it was already widely being referred to by that name.

We didn’t get official release dates, but Iger did say on the call that two animated heavy-hitters – Toy Story 5 and Frozen 3 – will both be arriving in 2026. And while it’s not much of a surprise, Iger confirmed that The Mandalorian and Grogu, the recently announced new film directed by Jon Favreau, will be the first of the new slate of planned Star Wars movies, also coming out in 2026.

Iger acknowledged on the call that 2024 may seem a little slower comparatively, largely due to last year’s dual writers’ and actors’ strikes that delayed many of its big releases. It won’t be completely empty for Disney, however; in fact, the company announced a surprise sequel to Moana today, which will debut on November 27, 2024.

Otherwise, Disney also has Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (May 10), Inside Out 2 (June 14), Deadpool 3 (July 26), and Mufusa: The Liong King (December 20) coming out this year.

2025 and 2026, meanwhile, are already shaping up to be pretty busy for the company. On the MCU front alone, Captain America: Brave New World, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and Blade are all set to come out next year. 2026, meanwhile, has the next Avengers movie that’s currently called Kang Dynasty, although the approach for that remains in flux.

The release timings were part of a handful of big Disney news that came amid today’s earnings call, which also included the reveal of a massive partnership with Epic Games.
