24 Confirmed New Disney Films (& 24 Rumoured) Coming 2020-27

36. The One And Only Ivan

The One And Only Ivan
Disney

Release Date: 14th August 2020

Based on the novel of the same name by K.A. Applegate, this fantasy flick centres on the titular Ivan, who just so happens to be a silverback gorilla. Ivan, the gorilla, lives in a cage atop Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade… with an elephant named Ruby… and a dog named Bob… and none of them know how they got there.

Yes, it sounds silly, but it also sounds rather great, especially when you consider that Ivan, Stella, and Bob will be voiced by Sam Rockwell, Angelina Jolie, and Danny DeVito respectively. Add in Bryan Cranston as Mack, the owner of the mall, and you’ve got the recipe for a really fun family movie.

35. Death On The Nile

Murder On The Orient Express Kenneth Branagh
Fox

Release Date: 9th October, 2020

If there was any justice at all in the world, there would be an entire franchise of Agatha Christie movies starring Kenneth Branagh's marvellously moustachioed Inspector Hercule Poirot opposite the cream of acting talent.

While it wasn't exactly universally loved, Branagh's adaptation of Murder On The Orient Express was very, very entertaining and a call-back to simpler days of murder mysteries. So it's great that we're getting Death On The Nile as a follow-up starring Branagh once more and already with Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, and Letitia Wright signed on to the no-doubt even more starry cast.

You might know the story, but it's the way Poirot tells them that matters.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
