Star Wars: Episode IX & Indiana Jones 5 Release Dates Confirmed
Disney Announces Film Schedule
By Franco Dionisio
Disney have revealed their upcoming tent-pole film movie slate and two big announcements are the release dates for Star Wars: Episode IX and the fifth Indiana Jones film!
Previously locked for a 2019 release date, Star Wars Episode IX will now officially hit theatres around the world on May 24th, 2019. The change of scheduling from the Winter season is a big move for Disney as it looks to cement Star Wars in the Summer blockbuster landscape - The Force Awakens and Rogue One both released in December and Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi is set for a December 19th release this year. It will be interesting to see if a return to Summer release window for the Star Wars franchise boosts an already very healthy box office return. Star Wars: Episode IX continues the new saga Jurassic World's Colin Trevorrow is directing.
Making way for Star Wars is the still untitled fifth Indian Jones feature. Originally set for a July 19th, 2019 release, the iconic adventure franchise will now debut on July 10th, 2020. Harrison Ford is set to return in the titular role and Steven Speilberg is back to direct, hopes are high for this one after 2008's The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull failed to live up to high audience expectations.
