Toy Story 5

Pixar continues the journey of our favorite toys with Toy Story 5, releasing June 19. Directed and written by Andrew Stanton, the film brings back Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the entire gang.

Toy Story 3 had a perfect ending. Toy Story 4 was fine. Toy Story 5 feels like pushing it, but Pixar usually delivers.

Supergirl

On June 26, DC fans get Supergirl. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the live-action adaptation stars Milly Alcock and Matthias Schoenaerts. The DC film follows Kara Zor-El on a darker, more personal journey across the galaxy, reintroducing the character as a hardened survivor rather than the hopeful counterpart to Superman.

Your kids will drag you to this one. Accept it now.

Moana

On July 10, Disney brings Moana to life in a live-action spectacle. Catherine Laga'a stars as Moana alongside Dwayne Johnson. It will be directed by Thomas Kail.

Disney's live-action remake machine continues churning. At least this one's recent enough that kids who loved the original will still be kids when it arrives.

Interesting they're going straight to streaming instead of theaters after director Greta Gerwig's smash hit Barbie. Budget concerns or strategic choice?

Dune: Part Three

Finally, 2026 ends on a cosmic high with Dune: Part Three. Directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, and Jason Momoa, this production has been underway since July 2025.

2026's movie lineup is heavy on sequels, live-action remakes, and superhero franchises. Not a ton of original IP, but that's Hollywood in 2026. Whether 2026 actually delivers on these promises depends on execution. But on paper at least, it's a solid lineup with something for basically everyone.
