D23 2025 has been and gone, and the fan event brought us a ton of updates, news and announcements from Walt Disney Studios properties, including upcoming releases from Marvel, the next Star Wars movie and plenty of Pixar news.

The event took place over the weekend (Aug. 30-31), and saw guests taking in a full slate of over 25 curated presentations from across the company. While that meant we saw big reveals for Disney Parks and plenty of panels looking back at the House of Mouse's history, we're going to focus on the movie, TV show and Disney Plus news that came out of D23 2025 here (though, yes, Disneyland Paris' World of Frozen does look very cool).

Below, you can find a quick breakdown of all the major entertainment announcements from D23 2025, including newly announced releases, a brief "Avengers: Doomsday" update and more.

The Russos hyped up 'Avengers: Doomsday'

Marvel fans lucky to be at D23 2025 got to see a teaser for "Avengers: Doomsday."

Attendees were treated to a video message featuring the Russo brothers, who are currently working on the new MCU team-up movie in London, with a video message that was interrupted by an excited Paul Rudd.

The Russos, crucially, teased that "Avengers: Doomsday" is "bigger than anything we have ever done," while Rudd added: "we're surrounded by jaw-dropping sets and some truly incredible talent" (quotes as reported by The Direct).

D23 attendees got the first look at 'The Mandalorian & Grogu'

D23 attendees were lucky enough to sample what's in store for Din Djarin and his young charge, Grogu (that's Baby Yoda, to you and me).

Filming for "The Mandalorian & Grogu" only got underway "a few weeks ago," but director Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni appeared on stage to tease the new film, which is releasing in 2026.

The footage hasn't yet been released, at the time of writing, though Deadline reports that the clip featured the titular duo, plus shots of a snowy planet that could be Hoth (seeing as they saw "huge AT-ATs") and Babu Frick made an appearance, flying a ship with Grogu to boot.

Pixar drops a big 'Toy Story 5' update

Pixar put in a major appearance at Destination D23 2025. Attendees were shown the first three minutes from "Toy Story 5," and this opening scene saw a ton of hi-tech Buzz Lightyear toys waking up on a deserted island somewhere after getting lost at sea and trying to find a way to escape.

Further "Toy Story 5" news: Conan O'Brien confirmed as the voice of a new "potty training toy," Smarty Pants. "Toy Story 5" hits theaters on June 19, 2026.

Disney Animation announces all-new original movie, 'Hexed'

"Hexed" is Disney Animation Studios' next all-original movie, and it's due to premiere in November 2026.

Directed by Josie Trinidad and Jason Hand, "Hexed" revolves around an awkward teenager and his Type-A mother, and the pair just might have access to magical powers that could turn a secret world of magic on its head.
