Star Warshas two electrifying young picture show coming down the rail line , but they are unfortunately about to face the very same obstacle thatSolo : A Star Wars Storydid back in 2018 — and that ’s almost sure enough about to be a problem . The Mandalorian and Groguhas long been known to be the next release ofStar Wars’upcoming movies . Lucasfilm take aback many with the Star Wars Celebration 2025 annunciation that Shawn Levy’sStar Warsmovie , Star Wars : Starfighter , would be released after that .
In fact , of theStar Wars Celebration 2025 reveals , the news ofStarfighter , including that Ryan Gosling would be starring in the picture show , was among the most surprising . There ’s already good deal of exhilaration building up about that movie , as there has been forThe Mandalorian and Grogufor quite some time . alas , Star Warsis doing itself a monumental ill turn with both of these movies , advise the enfranchisement has n’t really determine fromSoloat all .
Solo: A Star Wars Story Released Against Avengers: Infinity War In 2018
Infinity War Was One Of The Most Highly Anticipated MCU Movies Of All Time
Solowas released on May 10 , 2018 , whichputSolodirectly in competition withAvengers : Infinity War . AlthoughInfinity Warhad already been in theaters for nearly two week at that full point , given its April 27 , 2018 , button particular date , there ’s little doubtfulness thatInfinity Wardetracted from the hype aboutSolo . In fact , to engagement , Infinity Warremains one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) movies that was the most extremely anticipated .
This was especially bad word forSolo , which was already going to struggle to perform . Star Warshas systematically been a box office collision , but that successful story primarily reflect the fanbase ’s dedication to and love for the Skywalker Saga . Not only didSolofall outside that saga , but it also sport a recast of Han Solo , which has always prove to be a challenge in this franchise . Even though an actor vernal than Harrison Ford was required for the point intheStar Warstimelinein whichSolois set , this fanbase is n’t one that does well with variety .
PittingSoloagainst a movie that was drawing so much attention from MCU fans — and was the culmination of all Avengers movies so far — sure enough played a purpose inSolo’spoor operation . Of course , even outsideSolo’sbox office gouge , the flick is n’t a favourite among audiences . Many still considerSoloone ofStar Wars’worst movies , even now . It nevertheless holds straight thatStar Warscompeting with MCU movies , specially Avengers movies , is a unsound move , though . So why on Earth would Disney resolve to do this again with not one but two newStar Warsmovies ?

The Mandalorian & Grogu And Star Wars: Starfighter Release Against The Next 2 Avengers Movies
These Are Star Wars' First Theatrical Releases In Years
The Mandalorian and Grogu’srelease day of the month is confirmed to be May 22 , 2026.Starfighter’srelease engagement was also confirmed to be May 28 , 2027 , at Star Wars Celebration 2025 . This means thatbothThe Mandalorian and GroguandStarfighterdirectly compete with the MCU ’s next two Avengers moving picture : Avengers : Doomsday , which is releasing on May 1 , 2026 , andAvengers : Secret Wars , which is release on May 7 , 2027 .
This is a very risky move forStar Wars . Similar to the parlous nature ofSolo , which was trying something efficaciously brand - raw in the franchise , The Mandalorian and GroguandStarfighterrepresentStar Wars’first new motion-picture show in year . In fact , whenThe Mandalorian and Grogureleases , it will have been nearly seven years sinceStar Wars’last moving picture , Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker , come out . There is therefore quite a morsel riding on these picture show , yetStar Warsis about to repeatSolo’smistakes .
There is therefore quite a bit riding on these movies , yetStar Warsis about to repeatSolo’smistakes .
In a sense , this is actually a mirror image of the issue withSolo , given these Avengers movies are once again polar . Not unlikeInfinity War , Doomsdayis going to be a massive MCU consequence as the first Avengers motion picture sinceAvengers : Endgame . The movie will also see the homecoming of several beloved role and worker , which will no doubt take up massive audience . All of this spells trouble forThe Mandalorian and Grogu , but what constitute this especially odd is the fact thatDisney is basically compete against itself .
Avengers : Doomsday predominate nigher and the confirmed cast off members set to asterisk in the next MCU team - up movie are steady emerging as weeks progress .
Is Disney Hurting Itself By Pitting Star Wars Against The Avengers?
In A Way, Disney Is Competing Against Itself
Disney now have bothStar Warsand Marvel / the MCU , which means thatby consistently pittingStar Warsand MCU moving-picture show against one another , it is likely only doing itself harm . It ’s more than a minuscule rummy that both franchises seem so all committed to May freeing for their major movies , especially because of this odd spot that systematically sees newStar Warsmovies release just after stain - raw Avengers moving picture . If Disney has a strategy here , I ’m struggling to see it .
It will be interesting to see how this play out withThe Mandalorian and Grogu . As mentioned , Solowas an anomaly inStar Wars , as onlySoloandRogue One : A Star Wars Storyhave been full theatrical departure outside the Skywalker Saga . AlthoughThe Mandalorian and Groguis also outside that saga , meaning fanfare is building around the movie , and it ’s a continuation of the very successful showThe Mandalorian . This could mean a better effect thanSolo : A Star Wars Storyhad , but I remain concerned about these twoStar Warsmovies free-base on their release dates .
