Disney confirms 'Jungle Book' sequel
Synopsis
The studio has also confirmed it is planning to make Cruella, an 101 Dalmatians spin-off with Emma Stone, as well as sequel to Maleficent, reported Variety.
Angelina Jolie is set to return for Maleficent with Linda Woolverton, the screenwriter on the first film, handling script duties.
The Jungle Book director Jon Favreau and writer Justin Marks are returning for another trip into the wild.
The studio has staked out release dates, but did not say which product would be reserved for which slot.
It plans to release an untitled Disney live action fairy tale on July 28, 2017 (as opposed to on previously scheduled Dec. 22, 2017), on April 6, 2018, and on December 20, 2019.
The company will also release live action movies on August 3, 2018 and on December 25, 2018.
That puts their releases in competition with several major films, among them Jumanji, Sony's animated Spider-Man film, and an untitled animated film from ParaNorman creators Laika.
