Disney has delayed the waiver dates forAd AstraandArtemis Fowl . The Mouse House announced fresh date on through to 2027 today , in the Wake Island of its purchase of Fox ’s picture show and tv set assets in March . Among other things , the House that Mickey Built confirmed it intend to tack between a newStar Warsmovie andAvatarfilm every twelvemonth in December , begin withAvatar 2 in 2021and an as - yet untitledStar Warsadventure in 2022 .

Ad Astrawas take by James Gray ( The Lost City of Z ) and stars Brad Pitt as an army engineer who sets out to teach why his beginner disappeared on a distance mission to discover extra - terrestrial sprightliness , some old age before . The film has long been see as a likely awards contender found on its premise and creatives , so its previous late May acquittance day of the month was always a bit of a oddment . Ad Astrawas also scheduled to go up directly against Disney ’s bouncy - actionAladdinthat month , which makes its postponement all the less surprising in the wake of Disney ’s Fox leverage . As it stands , Ad Astrawill instead assay to succeed as counter - programming to both Sylvester Stallone’sRambo : Last Bloodand theDownton Abbeymovie , when it arrives in September .
Artemis Fowl , for its part , should also benefit from the delay . The film was previously scheduled to spread against big labor likeScary Stories to say in the DarkandThe Kitchencomic book adaptation this August , so it was n’t necessarily in an ideal side to expand . Now , however , it ’s become the first movie to claim a touch over the 2020 Memorial vacation weekend frame , and has a better stroke at breaking out commercially . It ’s far from a guaranteed success ( devote theArtemis Fowlbooks top out in popularity several year ago ) , but with Kenneth Branagh directing and the Mouse House behind its marketing , the fancy adventure has a good deal work in its favour for the clock time being .
