Other notable release dates coming out of the Mouse House include one for Pixar‘s Lightyear, which unveiled Chris Evans in the title voice role on Thursday.

That movie is currently set for a June 17th, 2022 release.

Following that will be sequels Black Panther 2 in July 2022 and Captain Marvel 2 in November of that same year.

The balancing act of release dates is critical for Disney and Marvel, especially considering the glut of new content they have just announced and the importance of not over-saturating the market at any given time.
