Disney has a huge number of projects in production, and we’re hoping the D23 2024 schedule will bring lots of announcements about Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar.

If all the hype from San Diego Comic-Con 2024 wasn’t enough for you, D23 is just around the corner, and it’ll bring plenty more news about a number of upcoming Disney projects.

With new movies getting revealed, upcoming Marvel movies to discuss, and the Star Wars timeline set to grow, there’s a lot to keep track of this year.

Fear not, though. Whether you’re attending D23 in person or watching along at home, we’ve got the details you need to stay in the loop.

When and where is D23?

D23: The Ultimate Fan Event is scheduled to run from Friday, August 9 to Sunday, August 11. It’ll take place primarily at the Anaheim Convention Center, but some showcases will be hosted at the Honda Center.

The Anaheim Convention Center in California has historically been the core hub for D23. However, the D23 2024 schedule has presentations including the Disney Entertainment Showcase, Disney Experiences Showcase, and Disney Legends Awards Ceremony taking place in the Honda Center.

In the lead-up to the big launch on August 9, there will be D23 Day at Angel Stadium, plus sweepstakes and entertainment going down in Disneyland, too.

Friday August 9

The main attraction on the opening night is the Disney Entertainment Showcase, starting at 7pm. This will give the audience announcements and exclusive previews from a variety of upcoming movies and shows.

This event will be the one to watch for any upcoming Star Wars projects, plus whatever Marvel has in store for Phase 5 and Phase 6.

The cast of The Fantastic Four is expected to be there, accompanying more reveals on Captain America 4 and Agatha. Meanwhile, New Jedi Order is expected to be the key focus from a galaxy far, far away.
