At the CinemaCon confab in Las Vegas Wednesday, it was Disney’s time to shine. The studio is reportedly showing off some 70 minutes of footage from its forthcoming slate, unspooling some 20 minutes of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness alone.
Disney is home to properties like Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm, and the former studio’s head, Kevin Feige, took the stage first. Whetting fans’ appetites, Feige noted that after the event, he’s off to a creative retreat where he and his team will chart out the next 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was also sneak-peeked for the crowd at the theater owners expo.
Disney also showed off footage from its forthcoming Disney/Pixar movie Lightyear, with a video message from Buzz himself, Chris Evans.
With the help of a recorded message from director James Cameron, 20th Century Films also revealed the teaser for the sequel to the highest-grossing movie of all time, Avatar. The film’s official title was revealed to be Avatar: The Way of Water.
In a press release, Disney teases that the movie, “begins to tell the story of returning heroes Jake and Neytiri and their children, the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.”
It was also revealed that the 3D film’s trailer will screen in theaters ahead of the Doctor Strange sequel on May 6.
Also making its debut during Disney’s presentation was the first six minutes of the anticipated animated film The Bob’s Burgers Movie, based on the long-running, Emmy-winning series.
