We have some big news coming from our friends at the Walt Disney Studios today. On the heels of what is already a top box office summer for the film division of The Walt Disney Company, the Studios announced some updates to a few of their future films, as well as new films and release dates!

Some of the changes include the final name of the upcoming Muppets sequel which is now titled “Muppets Most Wanted” and the sequel to this summer’s “Planes” film called “Planes: Fire & Rescue.” Some of the new films announced include a Steve Carrell comedy called “Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” and two more untitled Marvel films set for release on May 2016 and 2017.

Full details can be found below. Are you excited about the upcoming slate of Disney films for the next few years? Sound off in the comments!
