“Avengers: Endgame” has broken just about every box office record, short of the all-time worldwide box office record of $2.8 billion that “Avatar” still holds. Avengers might be in line to hold those records for a while, because the upcoming movies in the “Avatar” and “Star Wars” franchises keep getting delayed.
For starters, “Avatar 2” was originally supposed to come out in 2014 and Disney is now pushing it back again! It’s been delayed a year, from December of 2020 to December of 2021. “Avatar 3” has been moved back two years, from 2021 to 2023, “Avatar 4” has been delayed from 2024 to 2025 and “Avatar 5” has been shifted back from 2025 to 2027.
And as expected, Disney is taking a break from releasing “Star Wars” movies after “The Rise of Skywalker”, which will be out in December. They did, however, put three “Star Wars” movies on the schedule, for 2022, 2024, and 2026. It’s unclear what those movies are; it could be a new trilogy!
