Disney’s D23 convention is always filled with major announcements, and D23 2026 was no exception. This year’s big announcements included new movies, sequels, Marvel, Star Wars, Kingdom Hearts, and more, so without further ado, let’s take a look at the biggest news from D23.

Marvel

While San Diego Comic Con included major announcements for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel held some back to announce at D23.

First, there was a new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, showing Doctor Doom in action, complete with ominous voiceovers and narration.

Next, there was a trailer for VisionQuest. Not only is this bringing back Paul Bettany as the Vision, but James Spader makes a surprising return as Ultron (or some version thereof). We also get our first look at Tommy Maximoff/Speed (played by Ruaridh Mollica), following the setup for his rebirth in Agatha All Along. (Fans of The Goes Wrong Show, The Play That Goes Wrong, and Peter Pan Goes Wrong may also notice actors Jonathan Sayer and Henry Lewis among the cast, though the extent of their roles is currently unknown.)

For X-Men fans, D23 had a major announcement, with the introduction of the new cast of mutants. This includes Sadie Sink as Jean Grey (following her appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day), Christopher Abbot as Professor Xavier, Kit Connor as Scott Summers/Cyclops, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, and Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister (or, as they announced at the panel, Nathaniel Milbury).

Star Wars

Disney isn’t letting up on the Star Wars news either, with two new trailer drops.

First, we got a look at Ahsoka season 2, featuring Rosario Dawson returning as Ahsoka, along with the Force ghost of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen).

YouTube player

We also got a new teaser for Star Wars: Starfighter, starring Ryan Gosline as Kade Auberon. Starfighter is set to be a standalone movie, set in an unexplored era of the Star Wars universe, and reportedly won’t include any legacy characters (Skywalker or otherwise).

YouTube player

Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts fans have a lot to celebrate, as we’ve received more news about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 4, as well as a new announcement.

The Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer previewed a stage set in the world of Coco, which will apparently tie into Sora’s disappearance as Mickey, Donald, and Goofy search for him. An extended gameplay trailer showed off more of the world, cutscenes, and action, giving players more to look forward to.

YouTube player

Along with the game trailer, D23 featured an announcement for a new Kingdom Hearts anime, developed in partnership with Tetsuya Nomura and Square Enix. This series will air on Disney+, and features a brand new story that expands on the Kingdom Hearts universe.

New Movies

Of course, Disney isn’t done making new movies yet. D23 featured announcements for two new films: Clay and Ghost Market.

Clay starts Kieran Culkin as Flip, an unwilling mentor assigned to mentor a young ball of clay named Mushy. It’s directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn, and will hit theaters November 22, 2028.

Ghost Market is an upcoming Pixar film, slated for a 2028 release. According to Pixar chief content officer Pete Doctor, the film is inspired by Asian myths of “stores where the living and dead interact,” and features a teenager named Kyle who finds a hidden market at “the crossroads of the living and the dead.” It will be directed by Trevor Jimenez, who worked as a story supervisor on Soul and directed the Oscar-nominated short film Weekends.

Upcoming Sequels

Of course, there’s plenty of sequels to look forward to, for better or worse. Upcoming Disney sequels include:

  • Zootopia 3 (release date TBA)
  • Frozen 3 (2027)
  • Coco 2 (2029)
  • The Incredibles 3 (2028)
  • Lilo & Stitch 2 (live-action) (2028)
  • The New Simpsons Movie (2027)

While these announcements are causing the biggest buzz from D23, they’re far from the only ones. There’s plenty more to look forward to from Disney in the coming years, so let us know in the comments what you’re excited for, and keep an eye on G33k-HQ for more news as it comes.

Ravensburger has dropped some details for Chapter 2, Rise of the Floodborn. Rise of the Floodborn will arrive on November 17th, then retail on December 1st, but they have not addressed if the printing will have the lack of availability like Chapter 1 did/does, which is making them reprint it, so if you can get a pre-order, do so!

Chapter 1 Reprint:

As an Illumineer, you’ll wield six magical inks to summon glimmers of Disney characters. Glimmers can appear as familiar friends or in fantastically reimagined forms. Recruit glimmers to your team as you travel through the realm of Lorcana.

The Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn trading card game will be available at Hobby Stores and Disney Parks on November 17th and on Mass retailers and shopDisney on December 1.

Rise of the Floodborn Starter Decks

Begin Your Adventure: Starter Decks

To play the Disney Lorcana TCG, each player will need a deck of sixty cards. Ready-to-play starter decks contain a preconstructed deck with a specific card list. If you’re new to trading card games, or if you want to experience the game with a deck designed and tested by Team Lorcana, this is a good place to start.

Each starter deck includes:

  • 1 starter deck of 60 cards, including 2 foil cards of the characters on the package front
  • 11 game tokens
  • 1 rulebook
  • 1 booster pack containing 12 randomized cards
Rise of the Floodborn Booster Packs

Expand Your Collection: Booster Packs

Unlike starter decks, booster packs contain twelve random cards from Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn. Use booster packs to build and customize your deck with abilities and characters beyond those found in starter decks.

Each booster contains twelve randomized cards:

  • 6 common cards
  • 3 uncommon cards
  • 2 rare, super rare, or legendary cards
  • 1 foil card (random rarity level)
Disney 100 Collectors Edition

A Magical Legacy: Disney 100 Collectors Edition

For a century, animators at Walt Disney Animation Studios have used ink to create magical characters and stories. Their work inspired the creation of Disney Lorcana and is celebrated in this Disney 100 Collector’s Set, which includes 6 stunning foil alternate art cards from Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter TCG, illustrated by Disney animators. These alternate art cards are available only as part of this limited Collector’s Set, which also includes 4 booster packs from Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn.

The gift set will include:

  • 6 foil cards illustrated by Disney animators
  • 4 Rise of the Floodborn booster packs of 12 additional game cards each

The ultimate treasure for both collectors and players, the Illumineer’s Trove includes a full-art storage box, two deck boxes, eight booster packs, a player’s guide, and more.

The player’s guide offers a look into the realm of Lorcana as well as a complete visual guide to all cards in Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter. Also included are deckbuilding tips and game strategies.

The Illumineer’s Trove includes:

ACCESSORIES

Protect your collection from wear and tear with card sleeves, deck boxes, and playmats

Card Sleeves

Each pack contains 65 matte-finish card sleeves featuring a Disney Lorcana TCG glimmer. The characters featured will be Sisu and Mulan.

Deck Boxes

Each deck box can hold up to 80 sleeved cards. These Disney Lorcana TCG deck boxes will feature the same Sisu and Mulan art as the card sleeves.

Playmats

Each playmat features striking artwork of Disney characters. A fabric top prevents damage during gameplay and can also be used as a desk mat or mouse pad, while the anti-slip bottom keeps the mat in place during use. These Disney Lorcana TCG playmats will feature Beast and Winnie the Pooh.

First Look – Rise of the Floodborn

Introducing Disney Lorcana TCG’s second set

Illumineers, we’re excited to share the next set release for Disney Lorcana TCG, Rise of the Floodborn!

The Queen 26 / Belle 72 / Gaston 147 card images

This set dips into the inky origins of floodborn glimmers. The six magical inks… Amber, Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Steel, were released in a mixed-up chaotic form, resulting in a mysterious flood which damaged the Great Illuminary. When storyborn or dreamborn glimmers encounter this mixed ink, they surge with a power that changes them, transforming them into floodborn glimmers. As the magical ink poured out of the illuminary, treasured lore went with it, including King Triton’s powerful trident.

Winnie the Pooh 59 and Tiana Cards 196

Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn features more than 200 cards with brand-new artwork. Fan favorites like Winnie the Pooh and Tiana appear for the first time, while six additional Disney stories join the game’s lineup:

  • Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
  • Pinocchio
  • Zootopia
  • The Great Mouse Detective
  • The Jungle Book
  • Raya and the Last Dragon
Cinderella 177 card image

Additionally, a new Keyword makes its debut, Resist.

The Resist keyword indicates how much additional damage characters may be able to withstand. For example, Resist + 2 on a character would mean any damage dealt to them is reduced by 2.

Let’s take a look at each of the products!

Additionally, there’s one more surprise joining these products. In celebration of Disney’s 100th anniversary, we’re releasing a special Collection Set, Disney Lorcana: Disney100 Edition.

D100 product image

This set is perfect for collectors, containing six cards from Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter and Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn featuring never-before-seen alternate artwork drawn by Disney animators from Walt Disney Animation Studios.

D100 card images

Each card features an exclusive Disney100 frame design, a satin holographic foil finish, and a copy of the animator’s signature prominently displayed. Additionally, each set contains four Booster Packs of Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn.

Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn will first release at local game stores on November 17th, while the wide release, including the Disney Lorcana: Disney100 Edition, will follow on December 1st.

We hope you’re excited for even more reveals in the coming weeks. While we’ve shared a handful of glimmers transformed by the flood, you’ll have to check back often to see them all!
