The news comes as part of a larger shift in release dates unveiled by Walt Disney Studios. The company is moving around the debuts of various movies it inherited after buying the bulk of 21st Century Fox’s film and television assets in a $71.3 billion mega-merger deal.
As part of the release date shake-up, Disney announced there will be three yet-untitled Star Wars movies.
They will hit theatres after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker brings the Skywalker spin-off saga to a close in December this year.
