Film Slate: Upcoming 2026 Titles

Four big studio releases now anchor the 2026 movie calendar: *Mortal Kombat II* on May 8, *Toy Story 5* on June 19, *Supergirl* on June 26, and *Michael* on April 24. (warnerbros.com) (pixar.com) (supergirlmovie.com) (michael.movie) The dates put all four films into the spring and early-summer corridor that studios use for wide theatrical launches, with Warner Bros. placing *Mortal Kombat II* first, Disney and Pixar opening *Toy Story 5* six weeks later, and DC Studios following one week after that with *Supergirl*. (warnerbros.com) (pixar.com) (supergirlmovie.com) Each project comes with a built-in audience. *Toy Story 5* revives Pixar’s flagship franchise, *Supergirl* extends the new DC Studios film universe, *Mortal Kombat II* follows the 2021 game adaptation, and *Michael* is a biopic built around the life and music of Michael Jackson. (movies.disney.com) (supergirlmovie.com) (warnerbros.com) (michael.movie) That mix gives studios four different bets on the same moviegoing season: family animation, superhero spectacle, game-based action, and a music biography. The release pattern also shows how much 2026 depends on known characters and brands rather than original live-action stories. (movies.disney.com) (supergirlmovie.com) (warnerbros.com) (michael.movie) *Michael* is directed by Antoine Fuqua, written by John Logan, and stars Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson, with Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Laura Harrier, and Miles Teller in the cast. Lionsgate’s official site says the film will cover Jackson’s life from childhood to his death. (michael.movie) (lionsgatepublicity.com) *Supergirl* is directed by Craig Gillespie and stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, with Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa also listed in the cast. The official site bills it as a DC Studios release arriving in theaters on June 26, 2026. (supergirlmovie.com) (imdb.com) *Toy Story 5* is directed by Andrew Stanton, co-directed by Kenna Harris, and produced by Lindsey Collins. Disney and Pixar say the story pits Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the toys against “tech,” with electronics competing for children’s attention. (movies.disney.com) (pixar.com) (press.disney.co.uk) *Mortal Kombat II* is directed by Simon McQuoid and written by Jeremy Slater, with Karl Urban joining the series as Johnny Cage alongside returning cast members including Hiroyuki Sanada, Jessica McNamee, Ludi Lin, and Joe Taslim. Warner Bros. says the sequel will play in theaters and International Movie Data Base lists Adeline Rudolph, Tati Gabrielle, and Martyn Ford among the new additions. (warnerbros.com) (imdb.com) The cluster matters because all four films are already far enough along for studios to publish official release dates, trailers, or ticketing pages in April 2026. For audiences, that turns the 2026 slate from a vague preview into a calendar with four concrete tentpoles and little room for one to miss.
