As yet, the studio has not revealed which projects will occupy the dates, but it has confirmed that The Jungle Book 2, Maleficent 2 and Cruella, a 101 Dalmations spin-off starring Emma Stone, are all moving forward. That’s in addition to Tim Burton’s Dumbo and the Tinker Bell movie featuring Reese Witherspoon.

Along with the animated adaptations, Disney also officially announced the Mary Poppins sequel starring Emily Blunt and Lin Manuel-Miranda, Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle in Time, the Dwayne Johnson-headlined Jungle Cruise and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms from director Lasse Hallstrom.
