2 of 10Toy Story 4
There were no dry eyes in the house at the end of Toy Story 3 - and whilst many were happy with how the trilogy finished, the new trailer has made fans realise that perhaps they do need another film in the series after all. Toy Story 4 will be released in the UK on 21st June 2019.
3 of 10Avengers: Endgame
The second part to the finale of the Avengers film series will be released next year.

4 of 10Star Wars: Episode IX
There's also another major finale to a trilogy coming out next year in the form of Star Wars: Episode IX.

It will be released on 20th December 2019.
5 of 10Dumbo
Disney are not holding back with their plans to give most of their old classic films the live-action treatment after the success of films like The Jungle Book, and Dumbo is now in the works. The trailer on its own had viewers weeping, so it's most likely to be a huge tear-jerker when it's released in the UK on 29th March 2019.
6 of 10The Lion King
Another Disney classic to be given a live-action makeover next year is The Lion King.

The Lion King will be released in the UK on 19th July 2019.
7 of 10It: Chapter 2
The sequel to the incredibly successful 2017 remake of It will be released next year, following the lives of the children after they've grown up.

8 of 10Aladdin
2019 is going to be a huge year for the Disney live-action remakes, as Aladdin is also set to be released.

Aladdin will be released in the UK on 24th May 2019.
9 of 10Men In Black: International
Men In Black: International will take the focus away from Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and instead reunite Thor actors Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. Also starring Liam Neeson and Emma Thompson, the sequel will be released in the UK on 14th June 2019.
10 of 10Frozen 2
The first Frozen film was one of the most popular children's films of the decade, so it's no surprise that a sequel has been in the works since its release in 2013. Bringing back Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel as sisters Anna and Elsa, Frozen 2 will be released in the UK on 22nd November 2019.

Are Tom Holland and Zendaya dating?
Sadly not! Although Tom and his Spider-Man co-star Zendaya do have excellent chemistry in the films, they're just good friends. But that hasn't stopped fans shipping them one tiny bit - especially after rumours that they did date in the summer of 2017.
A source told People, "They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man. They’ve been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye, but they’ve gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another."
Another added, "They’re both really ambitious, and they challenge each other—but, most importantly, they make each other crack up. They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together. They have great banter back and forth."
However, the two denied the rumours in some sarcastic tweets, and have both denied them in interviews.
