"Hey, we may not get more Spider-Man, but more Spider-Pig is always welcome. Disney and 20th Century Studios confirmed The Simpsons 2 with a poster on September 29. "Homer's coming back for seconds," it reads, and the "all-new movie" is set for release on July 23, 2027. Initially, that date was to be taken by a yet-untitled Marvel film - but now there's nothing between 2026's Avengers: Doomsday and 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars, both of which were postponed to December from May."
"In 2024, former co-showrunner Al Jean told Screen Rant the Simpsons team was "really hoping for Inside Out 2 to do great this summer." (That movie ultimately grossed over a billion dollars.) "I want to see the animation business completely returned to what it was before the pandemic," Jean added. "And then, I think if that was the case, it would make sense to do The Simpsons theatrically. But I understand that it's an issue above me about, 'Where would you release it? And how would you release it?'""
Disney and 20th Century Studios confirmed The Simpsons 2 with a poster dated September 29 and the tagline "Homer's coming back for seconds." The all-new movie is set for release on July 23, 2027. That date had been slated for a yet-untitled Marvel film but became available after 2026's Avengers: Doomsday and 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars were postponed to December. The first Simpsons movie grossed $536 million worldwide in 2007. The sequel arrives 20 years later. Former co-showrunner Al Jean linked the sequel's green-light to renewed confidence in theatrical animation after Inside Out 2's box-office success, while noting release logistics remain a higher-level decision.
