This spring, The Walt Disney Company builds on powerful momentum from a record-breaking 2025, with an exciting slate that fans across Lucasfilm, Pixar Animation Studios, 20th Century Studios, and Searchlight Pictures won’t want to miss.

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootopia 2 is now the No. 1 domestic release of 2025, also ranking as the No. 1 MPA animated film of all time worldwide. This milestone marks the second consecutive year that The Walt Disney Studios has delivered the top domestic release — and in 2025, Disney claimed three of the top four domestic films overall with Zootopia 2, Lilo & Stitch, and Avatar: Fire and Ash.

That strength extends to streaming. 20th Century Studios’ Predator: Badlands debuted as the No. 1 film premiere on Hulu since Prey, drawing nearly 9 million global views in its first five days across Disney+ and Hulu. In total, audiences have streamed more than 300 million hours of the Predator franchise globally on Disney’s streaming platforms.

Disney enters 2026 on a remarkable run, backed by a daring slate poised to captivate audiences around the world.

Here’s what’s coming to theaters this Spring 2026:

• Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers — March 6
• Searchlight Pictures’ Ready or Not 2: Here I Come — March 20
• 20th Century Studios’ The Devil Wears Prada 2 — May 1
• Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian and Grogu — May 22

Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers

Release Date: March 6

Disney and Pixar’s next original animated comedy follows a young animal lover who “hops” her consciousness into a robotic beaver to communicate with animals and protect their habitat. The all-star ensemble features the voices of Piper Curda (Mabel), Bobby Moynihan (King George), Jon Hamm (Mayor Jerry), Meryl Streep (Insect Queen), Dave Franco (Titus), Kathy Najimy (Dr. Sam), and more. Hoppers delivers heart, humor, and a wholly original world to fans of all ages.

Searchlight Pictures’ Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

Release Date: March 20

Let the game begin! Moments after surviving an all-out attack from the Le Domas family, Grace (Samara Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all. The unpredictable sequel raises the stakes on the deadly game that made the first film a breakout hit. Radio Silence’s Ready or Not 2 also stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, with David Cronenberg, and Elijah Wood.

20th Century Studios’ The Devil Wears Prada 2

Release Date: May 1

The Devil Wears Prada 2? This spring? Groundbreaking. After two decades, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon that defined a generation.

Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian and Grogu

Release Date: May 22

After more than 6 years since Star Wars was in theaters, the galaxy’s favorite duo is about to make their debut on the big screen. When dangerous warlords threaten a peaceful galaxy, the New Republic calls upon legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his young apprentice Grogu to protect everything the Rebellion fought for. Directed by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian and Grogu also stars Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White and is produced by Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Ian Bryce, with music composed by Ludwig Göransson.

Following a record-setting year in theaters, Disney’s 2026 lineup raises the bar with fresh storytelling, fan-favorite worlds, and big-screen experiences designed to bring audiences together.

This summer, Disney and Pixar return with Toy Story 5 on June 19, followed by Disney Live Action’s highly anticipated reimagining of Moana on July 10. Searchlight Pictures keeps the energy high with the comedy Super Troopers 3 on August 7, before 20th Century Studios closes out the blockbuster season with Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars on August 28.

Searchlight Pictures’ KINDS OF KINDNESS — which opens in limited release this Friday before a nationwide rollout on June 28 — reunites Oscar®-winner Emma Stone with director Yorgos Lanthimos for a trio of thematically connected stories within a single film.

The two have previously collaborated on Academy Award®-winning films The Favourite and Poor Things, both of which were distributed by Searchlight. Stone went on to win Best Actress at last year’s Academy Awards for Poor Things.

“There are so many things that we can just get on with, without having to analyze, discuss or argue about it,” Lanthimos said of working with Stone. “We also have this experience now and we can keep building on it, trying to go further each time we make something.”

A Triptych Fable

KINDS OF KINDNESS is a triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.

“One of the most exciting things about these stories is that people find that it reflects what’s going on within them,” Stone said of KINDS OF KINDNESS.

The idea for the film has taken on multiple narrative forms over the years, eventually evolving into an anthology.

“We had started out with one story, but as we were working on it, we thought that it might be interesting to make a film that has a different structure to what we had done before,” Lanthimos, who also co-wrote and co-produced the film, explained. “As we identified the subsequent stories, we wanted to keep a thematic thread, so it felt as if it all belonged under the same umbrella.”

During the writing process, Lanthimos sent the script to Stone, who was immediately fascinated by the project.

“I loved the script and how it developed into a triptych,” Stone said. “The stories weave together in a way that is not necessarily clear but capitalizes on what has come before. I thought the prospect was really exciting.”

There were challenges, as Lanthimos explains, specifically with time constraints — but he was excited about overcoming those hurdles to make the film.

“With a feature film that only has one story, the audience can engage more actively because there is room to think about what is happening and apply your own logic,” Lanthimos explained. “With an anthology, you bring whatever you’ve been thinking about from the first story into the next. It is more complex and more engaging. Different people identify different themes, which is a hugely interesting structure.”

“Weight Off Our Shoulders”

Having just completed principal photography on the four-time Academy Award-winning Poor Things, Lanthimos took advantage of the lengthy post-production process to move forward with KINDS OF KINDNESS.

While Lanthimos edited Poor Things, the producers of KINDS OF KINDNESS were able to pave the way past logistical constraints to ensure that the film could be shot on time and on budget.

The story also lent itself to a less complex production process compared to Lanthimos’ previous films which take place in different time periods. KINDS OF KINDNESS was filmed at existing locations, utilized natural light, and the actors were dressed in contemporary costumes.

“It was a huge weight off our shoulders, notwithstanding the other usual complications that come with filmmaking,” Lanthimos said of the film, as it didn’t have to rely on building large sets or extensive lighting. “It felt good to be able to go around and look at locations, not having to think that things need to be built from scratch.”

“In His Own Dimension”

“Yorgos is way off in his own dimension. I knew that this would be a completely isolated, standalone experience, as his films are,” Jesse Plemons, who stars in the film, said. “It hasn’t been what I expected, in the best way.”

Plemons — who won the Best Actor Award at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for his performance in KINDS OF KINDNESS — is referring to the very unique tone and sense of humor that Lanthimos’ films take on.

For Stone, the humor of Lanthimos’ work is what excites her about his projects and is a reason that they’ve collaborated so often.

“Part of why I feel a deep connection to Yorgos and the things he makes is that nothing is straightforward,” Stone said. “Even the darkest moments have an inherent comedy in them.”

“Sometimes you just need to be ridiculous in order to achieve what we’re trying to achieve,” Lanthimos said.

KINDS OF KINDNESS was directed by Lanthimos, written by Lanthimos and Efthimis Filippou, and stars Stone, Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer. The film is produced by Ed Guiney, p.g.a., Andrew Lowe, p.g.a., Yorgos Lanthimos, p.g.a., Kasia Malipan, p.g.a.
