Disney Replaces 2026 'Star Wars' Film with 'Ice Age 6'

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.
