Upcoming Disney movies of 2018

Who’s ready to go to the movies? Disney has a lot of exciting titles coming out in 2018, and I’m excited to see most of them.  In fact, I’d say there’s probably only 2 or 3 on this list that I won’t end up seeing in theaters.

Black Panther (February 16th)

We first saw him in Captain America: Civil War, but now Black Panther is back with his own film.

A Wrinkle in Time (March 9th)

I loved this book growing up, and as a children’s librarian I’m excited to see it turned into a Disney movie.  I’m already planning a book discussion for my middle school kids before they see the film.

Dolphins (April 20th)

One of they DisneyNature films, this documentary will focus on dolphins.  While it’s not a huge audience appeal to see a nature documentary like the other films on this list, they’re always very well done.

Avengers: Infinity War (May 4th)

If you’re a fan of the Marvel films (and you should be!) this is a must-see.  The Avengers join forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th)

It’s the early years of Han Solo, though we don’t have a ton of information about how that will go yet.

The Incredibles 2 (June 15th)

People have been clamoring for a sequel to the Incredibles since the first one came out, and now this one will pick up where the last one left off.  Baby Jack-Jack has some new powers to share.

Ant-Man and the Wasp (July 6th)

Ant-Man may be my second favorite superhero after Captain America, so I’m excited for this sequel.  Plus a kickass female will get to join him on his adventures.

Christopher Robin movie (August 3rd)

I’ve heard so little about this I’m not really sure what to expect.  I do love Winnie the Pooh, though the concept is unusual: it’s a live action film of Christopher Robin all grown up.  Ewan McGregor will play the adult Christopher Robin.

The Nutcracker and the 4 Realms (November 2nd)

THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS
Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Mackenzie Foy as Clara

The description for this one is “A dark take on the E.T.A. Hoffmann tale, Clara (Mackenzie Foy) sets off into a magical world to fetch a lost key that will unlock a box from her mother. On her adventure, Clara winds up caught in a struggle to bring peace to three different realms.”  Umm, I’m not sure what to think.

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (November 21st)

Wreck-It Ralph is back, and this time the video game character discovers the internet.  I’m super excited for this one.  We LOVED the first one, and I got to see a sneak peek at D23 which had me laughing non-stop.

Mary Poppins Returns (December 25th)

Mary Poppins is such a wonderful movie, so it will be hard to see if a sequel can live up to it.  But with a strong character and Emily Blunt, I think it has a very good chance.
