Disney has been firming up its release slate and announcing when it plans to bring us new movies over the next couple of years. While we knew when the likes of Captain America: The Winter Soldier was coming (April 4th 2014 – and it’s been confirmed it’ll be in 3D), the studio has dated several other films.
Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 is now due on July 10th 2015, which means they’ve still got a bit of time to get it ready – which is probably just as well, seeing as it was only yesterday that a new writer was hired to sort out the script.
Also dated is The Muppets 2, which is due to shoot soon in London and will reach cinemas on March 21st 2014. Brad Bird’s 1952, which is set to star George Clooney and concerns the first man to make contact with aliens, also gets a release slot, with a December 19th 2014 date set. The film will be in 3D.
There’s been a bit of shuffling with the Angelina Jolie fairy tale movie Maleficent, which had been due March 2014 but has now slipped back a few months to July 2nd, 2014.
At the moment only the US dates are confirmed, but expect them in the UK around the same time.
