What's the story
Disney's 2022-2023 roster, as revealed at the CinemaCon 2022, seems to be a proper popcorn-grabber!
At the event, the firm's presentation started with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is releasing next month.
Apart from this, its slate included many other sequels/threequels, or whatever you call it, of previously released blockbusters.
Here are the top five such films coming from Disney's stable.
#1
'Thor: Love and Thunder'
For Thor (Chris Hemsworth), his "super hero-ing days are over."
But, he is soon called back to work when Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) arrives to eliminate all the god-like aliens.
Thor teams up with Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who is now the Mighty Thor, to stop Gorr.
Thor: Love and Thunder will release on July 8, 2022.

New reports claim that the female leads Shuri (Letitia Wright), Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o') and Okoye (Danai Gurira) will be at the forefront of their force.
