After that, the “Maleficent” sequel has officially set a May 29th 2020 release date, and the fifth “Indiana Jones” film has been pushed back a full year and will now open July 9th 2021.
Finally, several ‘Untitled’ projects have shifted dates with a new Marvel film for February 12th 2021 and a new live-action film set for July 30th 2021. Previously untitled films set for November 8th 2019, February 21st 2021 and July 9th 2021 have all been pulled.
