Can you watch D23 2022 panels from home?
Disney will be live-streaming some of the panels from the D23 Expo throughout each day. They’ve released a full schedule here, but the main highlights will be Disney and Marvel games showcase, a special on the Marvel comics, and a fun trivia quiz to round out the weekend. These will all be available across the D23 social platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch.
However, Disney’s major panels on Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel won’t be live-streamed from Anaheim for fans. But don’t worry, Total Film is at the convention so we’ll make sure you get all the information you need to know as soon as it's announced.
What announcements can we expect from D23 2022?
We’ve already had some huge announcements from Disney this year, after Star Wars Celebration in May and San Diego Comic-Con in July, which means D23 2022 might not be as dramatic. Nevertheless, we’ve rounded up all of the potential updates Disney could be planning for the convention – and spoiler, there are still a lot.
Disney and Pixar
One of Disney’s biggest upcoming releases is Strange World so this will likely make an appearance in the panel ahead of its release in November 2022. We’ve only had a short trailer for the animated movie so far, so it’s possible we’ll get some more footage and details about what to expect. Elsewhere, the long-awaited Enchanted sequel Disenchanted is likely also on the slate. The movie is out on Thanksgiving on Disney Plus but we’ve had no trailers yet. Finally, Pixar will probably also shed some light on their next film Elemental. It’s not due out until next year but no cast has been confirmed for the project yet, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
Marvel Studios
Given Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is releasing in just a few months time, it seems almost certain some new footage will be released, as well as a potential full-length trailer to match the teaser we got at SDCC. Other potential news that could drop include confirmation that Deadpool 3 is happening, some casting announcements for Blade, and new details about Wonder Man. We might get some casting news for the Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four after Feige dropped dates for both movies during the SDCC panel. There are also some big gaps in Feige’s line-up for Phase 6 releases as well, which may well be filled during the panel.
Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm will likely give us some updates on its already-announced projects. One thing we’re expecting is the release of the official trailer for The Mandalorian season 3, following its preview at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year. Lucasfilm may also make some casting announcements for Ashoka as well as provide some insight into The Acolyte. On the movies slate, we’d expect to hear a bit more about both Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron and Taika Waititi’s so-far untitled movie, including a potential confirmation about both projects’ release dates. Lucasfilm may also have some surprises up its sleeve as well – after all, it was at D23 in 2019 when the Obi-Wan Kenobi series was confirmed. There's also the chance of an Indiana Jones 5 trailer – if we're lucky. The movie has been confirmed for 2023 but it is still untitled, so D23 could be a prime opportunity to find out more.
20th Century Studios
Avatar 2: The Way of Water will be landing at the end of the year and given this is set to be one of Disney’s biggest releases of the year, we’d expect to hear or see a bit more about it.
