Disney’s 2026: More Sequels, More Money, One Whale Swallowing a Dude
KEY POINTS
- •Disney scored $6 billion globally in 2025 and plans recycled hits plus originals to keep that cash flowing in 2026.
- •'The Mandalorian and Grogu,' 'Toy Story 5,' and 'Avengers: Doomsday' headline a jam-packed year featuring stars like Rachel McAdams and Jacob Elordi.
- •Original movies include Sam Raimi’s survival thriller 'Send Help,' a Satanic serial killer chase, a scuba diver’s whale mishap, and a teen wizard’s journey.
In 2026, Disney is doubling down on everything fans either loved or endured in 2025’s $6 billion box office bonanza. They’re shooting 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' in theaters May 22 with Pedro Pascal returning because who else can squeeze that helmet on? Pixar’s pitching a trippy angle called 'Hoppers,' where a girl jumps consciousness into a robot beaver—because 2025’s 'Elio' was apparently a flopper. Rachel McAdams tests survival skills on a deserted island ('Send Help'), while 'Ready or Not 2' resurrects Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elijah Wood for more devil worship mayhem. Disney films include Anne Hathaway getting a fashion reboot as Miranda Priestly, and yes, ’Avengers: Doomsday’ is coming—because Christmas is never complete without a world-ending party. Also, a scuba driver swallowed by a whale must escape underwater; sure beats waiting for a Disney princess to fix that problem.

Disney’s 2026 film slate: Baby Yoda on silver screen, robot beavers spy on animals, and a scuba diver being whale food. They really do refuse to let a good disaster go to waste.
Nothing screams ‘original’ like a sequel to a horror comedy about murderous in-laws and a teenage wizard fighting magic vibes. Peak creativity.
Six billion dollars later, Disney says ‘hold my mouse ears’ with enough sequels to outlast the apocalypse itself—plus a whale swallowing a guy. Evolution?
