How Many Movies Does Disney Have Coming Out in 2020

Every Disney Movie Coming In 2020

Disney's movie releases for 2020 include a bit of everything: fantasy, horror, superheroes, and more. Here are all the movies coming out this year.

Last Updated: September 24, 2020

Disney is releasing a variety of movies in 2020, from animated adventures, to action movies, superheroes, and a long-awaited comic book movie. 2019 was a big year for Disney on many levels: Avengers: Endgame became the highest-grossing movie of all time, the Fox deal was completed, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker arrived to close the Skywalker saga. In addition to that, the studio launched its own streaming platform, Disney+, which had a very long list of content available from day one.

Other big releases from Disney in 2019 were Toy Story 4, Frozen 2, and the live-action and CGI adaptations of Aladdin, Dumbo, and The Lion King. Of course, Avengers: Endgame wasn't the only Marvel movie to come out last year, as Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Far From Home also arrived to add more history to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 2020 will continue bringing the type of content that is expected from Disney (as in: family-friendly movies) but also more mature stories that arrived in the Fox package.

Though there are many Disney movies in development supposedly coming out this year, especially on Disney+, only the ones with confirmed release dates - or that had dates prior to the Coronavirus pandemic - are included here. That said, here's every Disney movie coming in 2020.

Mulan - September 4

The live-action remake trend continues, and is still led by Disney. Mulan is an adaptation of Disney's 1998 animated movie of the same name, and stars Liu Yifei as the title character. Very much like the animated version, the story centers around the eldest daughter of an honored warrior who steps in to take the place of her ailing father. In order to do so, she disguises herself as a man to battle northern invaders in China, prompting her to harness her inner strength and embrace her true potential.

The Empty Man - October 23

Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Cullen Bunn and Vanesa R. Del Rey, The Empty Man is a supernatural horror movie starring James Badge Dale, Samantha Logan, and Stephen Root. The Empty Man is the story of an ex-police officer who witnessed the violent deaths of his wife and son and comes across with a secretive group trying to summon a terrifying supernatural entity.

Soul - November 20

Another Pixar movie is arriving in November, and its story is deeper than it might seem. Soul follows Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx), a middle school music teacher who dreams of performing jazz music onstage, and finally gets his chance – but an accident causes his soul to be separated from his body and transported to the "You Seminar", a center in which souls develop passions before being transported to a newborn child. Gardner must work with other souls in training and find a way to return to Earth before it's too late. The first teaser posed the question of "what do you want to be remembered for", just to give you a hint of the vibe Soul will have.

Free Guy - December 11

Free Guy stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular character, an NPC in an open-world online video game. A change to the game's code allows Guy to suddenly realize the nature of his existence, leading him to try and change his mundane life as a bank teller into something more interesting. Taika Waititi co-stars as the game's publisher, while Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) and Joe Keery (Stranger Things) play developers.

Death on the Nile - December 18

Death on the Nile is an adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel of the same name. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Death on the Nile follows Hercule Poirot (Branagh), a detective investigating the murder of a young heiress aboard a cruise ship in the Nile River. The movie was initially intended to be released in December 2019, but was delayed until October 2020.

The French Dispatch - TBA 2020

The latest from celebrated director Wes Anderson, The French Dispatch shines a spotlight on the French foreign bureau of a fictional Kansas newspaper. Many of Anderson's usual collaborators fill out the cast, including Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, and Frances McDormand. The French Dispatch was originally slated for a July 24 release, but was one of many 2020 films pushed back due to Coronavirus.

The Woman in the Window - TBA 2020

Directed by Joe Wright, The Woman in the Window is a psychological thriller based on the 2018 novel of the same name by A.J. Finn. Amy Adams stars as Dr. Anna Fox, an agoraphobic woman who witnesses stuff she shouldn't while keeping tabs on the family living across the street, the Russells, who seem to have the perfect life. Turns out that the Russells are hiding some dark secrets, and Anna realizes she can't trust anyone. Also starring are Gary Oldman, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Wyatt Russell, Brian Tyree Henry, and Anthony Mackie.
