Disney’s D23 fan event wrapped its 2026 edition in Anaheim over the weekend, and the D23 2026 announcements covered the next five years of Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and Disney+. If you only read one page, read this one: every major reveal from the Ultimate Fan Event, with links to the full stories.
D23 2026 announcements: the full list
Pixar and Disney Animation
Pixar brought its heaviest slate to D23: two sequels with first looks, one sequel confirmed, and the studio’s first ghost movie.
- Coco 2 first look: Miguel is a teenager now — Pixar showed the sequel’s concept art at D23: a teenage Miguel with Dante at his side, and Ernesto de la Cruz back for revenge. Benjamin Bratt is returning as the villain, and the film lands in theatres in November 2029.
- Incredibles 3 is confirmed for June 2028 — Pete Docter gave the first look at the story: Violet and Dash take centre stage, and the new villain outclasses the entire family put together.
- Zootopia 3 is official — Jared Bush confirmed the third film on stage, with Ginnifer Goodwin and Ke Huy Quan back as Judy Hopps and Gary De’Snake. The sequel’s post-credits feather was the clue: the city is going to the birds.
- Ghost Market, Pixar’s first ghost movie, lands Spring 2028 — the studio’s 33rd animated feature sends a Chicago teen into a hidden supernatural bazaar where the living and the dead do business. Trevor Jimenez directs.
- Ahsoka Season 2 Premiere Date Set: January 20, 2027 on Disney+
Marvel
Marvel saved its biggest moment for the stage: a full X-Men cast reveal, Doom’s Sentinel army and a first look at Ultron with a human face.
- The X-Men movie cast is finally here — Sadie Sink is Jean Grey, Kit Connor is Cyclops, Samara Weaving is Emma Frost, Christopher Abbott is Professor X, Inde Navarrette is Rogue, Maya Boyd is Storm — and Adam Driver is Mister Sinister, not Magneto. Jake Schreier’s film opens May 5, 2028.
- Avengers: Doomsday’s D23 special look shows Doom raising the Sentinels — the Comic-Con footage finally went public: Doom swats Stormbreaker, puts Thor through a wall, and raises an army of the mutant-hunting robots. The film opens December 18.
- Vision Quest’s trailer gives Ultron a human face — James Spader returns in person for the first time since 2015, and the WandaVision trilogy-ender hits Disney+ on October 14.
Star Wars
Star Wars brought the room its first look at the galaxy’s next big-screen era.
- Star Wars: Starfighter — Ryan Gosling is Kade Auberon — Shawn Levy’s film screened its first footage at D23, set five years after The Rise of Skywalker in the furthest point the timeline has reached. Gosling’s pilot finds a child; the rest of us get a poster reusing the original 1977 logo. Opens May 28, 2027.
Disney+
- Kingdom Hearts is finally getting an anime series — ordered for Disney+ and Disney Channel, developed with Tetsuya Nomura and Square Enix, 24 years after Disney scrapped the first attempt.
- Percy Jackson Season 3 trailer: the Titans are coming — the first teaser for The Titan’s Curse debuted at D23, with an army of Artemis’s hunters introducing Walker Scobell. The season premieres November 20.
What was the biggest D23 2026 announcement?
The X-Men cast reveal drew the loudest reaction — Marvel had kept the mutant movie’s roster under wraps for months, and the video tease that landed on Magneto before revealing Mister Sinister was the moment of the weekend. The Pixar slate is the longer game: Coco 2, Incredibles 3, Zootopia 3 and Ghost Market give the studio its busiest run of sequels and originals in years, spread across 2028 and 2029.
D23 2026 announcements in the UAE
Nothing from D23 needs a UAE-specific release date yet — the theatrical films track the global roll-out here, and the Disney+ shows arrive the same day as the worldwide launch. The Disney Worldbuilders documentary premiere is the UAE angle for this weekend: it lands on Disney+ on August 20 with footage of Disneyland Abu Dhabi.
