Bad news stunts for Disney. The releases of the big-budget film Mulan , as well as future shutters of the Star Wars and Avatar sagas were postponed Thursday by the studio, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Already postponed twice, the last time to August 21, the release of the live action version of the famous cartoon Mulan has this time been postponed to an unspecified date.

After the postponement of Tenet , the other big poster planned for this summer and on which the theater operators were counting to restart attendance, it is the second pillar of the summer calendar that is collapsing. “In recent months, it has become clear that nothing can be set in stone about how we release films,” said a spokesperson for the Disney studio.
"Today that means we are putting our Mulan release plans on hold to determine how we can most effectively present this film to viewers around the world," the spokesperson added.
Completely disrupted calendars
At the same time, Disney announced that the release schedule for future episodes of the Star Wars and Avatar sagas has been shifted by one year. The second part of Avatar will therefore be released in December 2022 and the tenth episode of Star Wars in December 2023, rather than in 2021 and 2022 respectively. The releases will then be staggered every two years, Avatar in 2024, 2026 and 2028, Star Wars in 2025 and 2027.
In a message posted on his Twitter account, James Cameron, explained that the postponement was due to delays in the production schedule.
