Last week, Disney finally made it official that The Mandalorian & Grogu would be the next Star Wars film in Summer 2026…which was news we thought might be saved for CinemaCon. So now that that’s out – and with with Disney hosting its own convention, D23, in August – there probably will be no mention of a galaxy far, far, away. But something, anything, would be cool.

When this could happen: Disney Presentation, 2:30-4:45 p.m. PT, April 11.
