Warner Bros.’ 2027 and Beyond Mega Slate: Every Movie Confirmed

Let’s face it: nothing beats the big screen. CinemaCon’s whole vibe is a reminder that—no matter how big your TV is at home—the best way to sell a movie is with a packed room, booming speakers, and studios teasing what’s next. This year’s CinemaCon (the 2026 edition, if you’re counting) was basically Hollywood Studios’ Comic-Con for theater owners, who got front-row seats to the sales pitch for all the movies coming over the next couple years. That includes the usual parade of mega-franchises, original bets, a dash of musical chaos, and yes, a certain Marvel juggernaut you can already picture smashing its way to the box office a couple years from now.

All eyes were on Warner Bros. this time around, and for good reason. There’s that looming mega-merger with Paramount’s Skydance, which has left everyone in the business whispering and guessing about what the future holds. There was a not-so-subtle flex from Paramount CEO David Ellison: under the merger, the two companies aim to crank out 'a minimum of 30 films annually across both studios.' (If you’re sick of endless content, sorry, that’s not slowing down any time soon.) The plan is for movies to keep their exclusive theatrical period—45 days in theaters, then streaming in about 90.

Warner Bros. then rolled out what’s probably its boldest movie slate ever, laying out 27 films already locked for the next couple of years with a dramatic 'And more to come...' wink at the end. In other words: they’re not messing around. Here’s what Warner Bros. officially has queued up for 2027 and beyond—the stuff that got everyone’s attention, plus some projects so mysterious that all we have is a title and a suspicious lack of details.

Warner Bros. 2027 & Beyond: What We Know (and What We Don’t)

• Minecraft Sequel
  Release Date: July 23, 2027
  What We Know: Jared Hess, who was behind the first Minecraft movie, is set to direct and co-write again (this time with Chris Galletta). What exactly Steve and Alex will be doing is still under wraps, but the vague logline is 'Steve and Alex venture further into the Overworld, discovering unexplored territories and encountering fresh challenges.' Aka: more blocks, bigger adventure.
  Cast: Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Kirsten Dunst, Danielle Brooks.
• Animal Friends
  Release Date: Jan. 22, 2027
  Premise: Imagine a road trip comedy, but starring two fugitive animals trying to find their old ranch home while being chased by—of course—a mismatched pair of federal agents. It sounds weird, but that’s half the point. Directed by Peter Atencio, with a script from Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider.
  Cast: Aubrey Plaza, Ryan Reynolds, Jason Momoa, Dan Levy, Lil Rel Howery, Ellie Bamber, Addison Rae.
• Bad Fairies
  Release Date: May 21, 2027
  Pitch: A musical comedy about a gang of rebellious fairies in modern-day London—and they’re not exactly following the fairy code. Megan Nicole Dong directs, with songs by Toby Marlow & Lucy Moss, script by Deborah Frances-White & Zoë Tomalin, and a score from Isabella Summers.
  Starring: Cynthia Erivo, Ncuti Gatwa.
• Baz Luhrmann’s Joan of Arc
  Release Date: Nov. 22, 2028
  What’s Up: Classic Baz Luhrmann: big, dramatic, and very hush-hush. He’s writing and directing, with Isla Johnston as Joan of Arc. That’s about all they’ll say. Epic costumes probably a given.
• Dynamic Duo
  Release Date: June 30, 2028
  The Hook: The early days of DC’s Robin(s), with Dick Grayson and Jason Todd learning the ropes under Batman and butting heads over their visions for the future. The real twist? The animation style: a wild blend of puppetry, stop-motion, CGI, and miniatures, so expect something that looks nothing like the rest of the DC lineup.
  Directed by Arthur Mintz, with a trio of writers (Matthew Aldrich, Scott Neustadter, Michael H. Weber). DC bosses James Gunn, Peter Safran, and Matt Reeves are producing.
• Evil Dead Wrath
  Release Date: April 7, 2028
  Details: A new entry in the Evil Dead universe, this one directed by Francis Galluppi, who also wrote it. Plot is secret, but it’s an original story (so, not a reboot or rehash). The only confirmed bit is it started filming on Feb. 21.
  Cast: Charlotte Hope, Zach Gilford, Jessica McNamee, Josh Helman, Ella Newton, Elizabeth Cullen, Ella Oliphant.
• F.A.S.T.
  Release Date: April 23, 2027
  Premise: Ex-special forces guy comes home and finds the only way to make things right is to run a black ops team for the DEA…which (no biggie) means butting heads with CIA-protected drug dealers. Yes, Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone) wrote it, so expect something gritty and probably a little self-serious. Ben Richardson directs.
  Cast: Brandon Sklenar, Juliana Canfield, LaKeith Stanfield, Jason Clarke, Sam Claflin, Trevante Rhodes, Chloe Coleman.
• Final Destination 7
  Release Date: May 12, 2028
  Okay, But What’s Happening: Your guess is as good as mine. Warner Bros. is keeping quiet about the plot, but we do know Michiel Blanchart is directing from a script by Lori Evans Taylor, with Jon Watts producing.
• Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest
  Release Date: 2027 or later
  What We Know: Based on the Targaryen takeover described in George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, this show (still going under a temp title) will follow Aegon Targaryen and his two sister-wives as they set their sights on Westeros. The only person officially attached right now is writer Beau Willimon, so don’t hold your breath for a trailer just yet.
• Gladys
  Release Date: Sept. 8, 2028
  The Scoop: This is a prequel to Weapons—fast-tracked after Amy Madigan scored an Oscar as Aunt Gladys. No plot details have been leaked, but we do know Zach Shields is co-writing, teaming up with Weapons writer-director Zach Cregger.

There you have it: the next few years of Warner Bros., from musicals about rebellious fairies to the next wave of blocky Minecraft adventures and several ‘plot under wraps, trust us’ entries. If you’re looking for old-school spectacle, experimental animation, or just the next big franchise play, WB is hoping to fill a seat with you in it (preferably with popcorn in hand).
