Movie fans have a lot to look forward to in Disney’s 2024 movie slate. Disney has made a name for itself as a juggernaut in the entertainment industry. The studio is home to multiple billion-dollar franchises, most notably the MCU and Star Wars. As well as its more traditional titles, like the Pixar films and the Disney Princesses franchise.
However, despite past successes, 2023 was not a good year for the studio. None of its 2023 releases were able to hit the billion-dollar mark as in previous years. For instance, its big-budget Marvel releases were met with a lukewarm reception at the box office, and its recent animated movie, Wish, was heavily criticized by critics. Nevertheless, the studio is already positioning itself for a successful outing next year. It currently has seven confirmed movies that will premiere in 2024.
Here is a look at Disney’s 2024 movie slate.
The First Omen, April 5, 2024
This film is the sixth in the Omen franchise. It follows a young woman from America who moves to Rome to begin a new life working at a church. But it isn’t long before she discovers a secret darkness and an evil conspiracy within the church to bring about the Antichrist.
