Remember, that DOESN'T include Star Wars. Geezus, they own everything, don't they?
My interest here is really with the Marvel dates, so let's do a little bit of speculation. We can assume Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is one of those, probably on May 1st 2020. Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Captain Marvel sequels are probably in there, too, and maybe the Black Widow movie that's in development. We can expect at least one to be an Avengers film, and that still leaves one slot open for something new. Too much to hope it's a Mighty Avengers movie with Black Panther as the team leader? Hope it's nothing as dull as Ant-Man & the Wasp 2.
A couple of other dates of note. The live-action Mulan film has been moved to March 27th 2020, a big move from its original November 2018 date. And the Anna Kendrick/Bill Hader holiday comedy Nicole has been kicked from the schedule completely, probably because it will go to Disney's streaming service.
