Part 7/9:
2027: There are already slots reserved for untitled Disney movies, including potential Star Wars and Marvel releases, often booked two to three years in advance. These slots give Disney flexibility to move releases, should production or strategic considerations require it.
For example, Wicked is scheduled for November 2026, but actual release plans could shift, leaving an early May 2027 slot open for major franchise releases like the Dune sequel or other blockbusters.
The trend indicates that Dune Messiah could potentially be programmed for that early May window in 2027, but this is far from certain, given Disney's scheduling history and the volume of tentpole projects they have slated.
