D23 2024: all the biggest trailers and news out of Disney’s biennial showcase

2 months ago

Disney’s biennial D23 showcase of its upcoming projects is back, and with so many Marvel and Star Wars projects in the pipeline, it feels like the studio will have a lot to show off over the weekend. Out of the in-person Anaheim event, we’re expecting trailers and announcements about new shows and movies destined to make their way to theaters and Disney Plus in the not-too-distant future.

But one of the more promising parts of the expo is happening online where you can watch it unfold up close if you’ve got a Fortnite account.

While we’re expecting most of the big Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar news during Friday’s massive Disney Entertainment Showcase, the studio is also focusing on Marvel’s upcoming animated projects with a panel on Saturday afternoon. It’s likely that we’ll hear updates about X-Men ‘97, the final season of What If …?, Eyes of Wakanda, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and Marvel Zombies.

But we’re definitely going to be learning a bit more about Disney’s new partnership with Epic Games during the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase, which will be streamable through a special island within Fortnite. A lot of what’s coming are things we’ve known about for a while, so hopefully, Disney’s got some surprises in store.

We’ll be posting updates here all weekend, so you can check back as interesting things pop up.

Disney and Fortnite are announcing news inside Fortnite.
Visit the “Disney Horizons Live from D23” island in Fortnite (island code 7908-6413-2516) at 11:30PM ET on August 10th to catch the show. If you miss it live, the in-game island will be available until August 16th, where the presentation will be on a loop.

If you attend for more than 10 minutes, Epic will give you this “Peelverine Plush” backbling.
