Disney has booked a busy year!
You have to admit, we were all once major Disney fans … and some of us still are.
Disney keeps us entertained with an endless flow of upcoming movies.
And the movies coming out in 2023 have us excited.
Peter Pan & Wendy
A live-action adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s novel!
This time around, Peter Pan & Wendy focuses more on Wendy and Tiger Lilly.
We’ll see the Lost Boys, Captain Hook, and our favourite fairy Tinker Bell once again.
Oh, and obviously, the boy who never grows up, Peter Pan.
Peter Pan and Wendy premiered on April 28th 2023.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
After Avengers: Endgame and Gamora’s death, Peter Quill is determined to put his team of misfit heroes to work saving the galaxy.

It premiered on May 5th 2023.
Crater
It is the year 2257 and a group of teenagers living on the moon leave the only home they’ve ever known.

Haunted Mansion
The upcoming Haunted Mansion movie is based on Disneyland’s attraction and is also a remake.

It premieres on July 28th.
The Marvels
This one sees a superhero twist on the classic body-swap comedy.

And here is a list of films coming out this year that are yet to have a premier date:

A new Disney+ documentary will honor Marvel Entertainment legend Stan Lee.
In the documentary, fans expect to see Lee’s comic creations and iconic characters, as well as his involvement in the MCU, showcased.
Dashing Through the Snow

Aladdin: Live From the West End
Disney is here to make musicals more accessible.
A live recording of the Tony Award-winning show Hamilton has been released for those who can’t make it to Broadway.
And if you can’t make it to the West End theatres in London, Disney+ will soon stream the on stage production of Aladdin.
Three Men and a Baby
There’s a new Disney production featuring Zac Efron!
He’ll play one of three friends who suddenly have to care for a baby in this ’80s comedy reboot (if you couldn’t tell from the title).
