Millennium Park in Chicago is hosting a series of free summer events including movies, concerts, workouts, and festivals at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, with a schedule featuring classic and popular films from July to August and a diverse lineup of musical performances and festivals.
Superhero movies are scaling back, with Marvel and DC delaying major releases like 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Superman' to test audience interest and adapt to shifting tastes, while still maintaining a significant global presence and investing in new projects to revitalize the genre.
Disney has removed an untitled Star Wars film from its release schedule, replacing it with Ice Age 6 for December 18, 2026. This change doesn't mean the Star Wars film is canceled, but rather delayed, as Disney and Lucasfilm decide on the franchise's future direction. The next Star Wars film, "The Mandalorian & Grogu," is still set for May 22, 2026, with another untitled film scheduled for December 17, 2027. The shift may allow more time to determine which of the newly announced projects, including Simon Kinberg's trilogy, will be prioritized.
