The biggest movies coming in 2027

March 5: Gatto

Pixar’s original animated adventure follows Nero, a black cat trying to navigate Venice and a debt to a feline mob boss. Mark Ruffalo voices Nero, with Laurence Fishburne as Rocco. Enrico Casarosa directs and Andrea Warren produces, reuniting the filmmaking team behind Luca. Pixar’s current film page lists March 5, 2027 for its theatrical opening. ¹

Gatto gives this lineup an original character and setting to discover before the summer’s better-known names arrive. Its appeal starts with that premise: a streetwise cat, a city of canals and an unlikely friendship that could change his direction.

May 28: Star Wars: Starfighter

Ryan Gosling stars as Kade Auberon in Shawn Levy’s Star Wars film, scheduled for May 28, 2027. Lucasfilm’s synopsis centers on a cynical rogue whose past draws him into a dangerous journey through the galaxy. The listed cast also includes Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre and Amy Adams. ²

The published premise offers a useful starting point without requiring a plot prediction. The main attraction for this roundup is a new lead character and adventure within a familiar universe.

June 18: Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse

Sony lists June 18, 2027 for Miles Morales’ next animated film. Its official synopsis places Miles on the run from Miguel O’Hara’s Spider Society, trying to get home and protect his family. Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson direct. ³

The setup makes Miles’ personal stakes central to the scale of the adventure. Alongside its journey across time and space, the story is framed around his effort to reunite the people who matter to him.

June 30: Shrek 5

DreamWorks’ official Shrek site gives the fifth film a June 30, 2027 theatrical date. That puts another recognizable animated name on the calendar just twelve days after Beyond the Spider-Verse. ⁴

The release date is the firm planning detail here. A familiar title can invite plenty of speculation, but this preview does not treat fan theories, unofficial plot summaries or an earlier installment’s imagery as evidence about the new film.

November 24: Frozen 3

Disney’s current movie listing confirms Frozen 3 for November 24, 2027. The studio’s D23 preview names Jennifer Lee and Trent Correy as directors and Christina Chen as producer. [8] [9]

Disney says Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf return for another adventure. This remains a scheduled release rather than an opening-weekend guarantee, and the linked studio announcements distinguish confirmed details from speculation. [8]

December 17: Avengers: Secret Wars

The Numbers currently lists Avengers: Secret Wars for a December 17, 2027 domestic release, matching the move from May reported by TheWrap in 2025. That earlier report also placed Avengers: Doomsday in December 2026. The two titles are separate films, so their dates and promotional material should not be mixed together. [6] [10]

The December date belongs on a watch list rather than a guarantee. This roundup makes no claim that a production rumor confirms a new release date, and it does not present speculative casting or story details as settled.

A watch list to revisit

These six choices are a selected preview, not a complete 2027 release calendar or a prediction of which movies will earn the most. Check the linked studio pages and current release announcements again before making opening-weekend plans. Local release dates may differ from the U.S. schedule.
