'Ice Age 6' Takes Over 'Star Wars' Slot in 2026

Burbank, USASaturday, November 16, 2024

Disney has given the cold shoulder to a planned "Star Wars" movie, ditching it from the 2026 release schedule. In its place, "Ice Age 6" will stomp in. While the "Star Wars" film's details were as mysterious as the Force itself, it was rumored to follow Daisy Ridley's Rey after the events of "The Rise of Skywalker. " However, the project lost its screenwriter and faced numerous setbacks, similar to other unrealized "Star Wars" projects from big names like Patty Jenkins and Rian Johnson. Meanwhile, another "Star Wars" flick is still set for 2027.

In addition to the "Ice Age" news, fans can look forward to "The Mandalorian and Grogu" in 2026. Plus, "X-Men" alum Simon Kinberg will be working on a new "Star Wars" trilogy. This reshuffling of the release calendar shows how Disney is strategically planning its releases to avoid box office clashes.
