tar Wars: The Force Awakens (also known as Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens) is an upcoming American epic space opera film directed by J. J. Abrams. The seventh installment in the episodic Star Wars film series, it stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow, with Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker reprising their roles from previous Star Wars films. The story is set approximately 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983). The Force Awakens will be the first film in the planned third Star Wars trilogy announced after The Walt Disney Company’s acquisition of Lucasfilm in October 2012.
It is produced by Abrams, his long-time collaborator Bryan Burk, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. Along with directing and producing, Abrams also co-wrote with Lawrence Kasdan, who co-wrote the original trilogy films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Abrams and Kasdan rewrote an initial script by Michael Arndt, who also wrote the story treatment. John Williams returns to compose the score, and Star Wars creator George Lucas serves as creative consultant.
The Force Awakens is produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Lucasfilm, and Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Second-unit filming began in April 2014 in Abu Dhabi and Iceland, with principal photography taking place between May and November 2014 in Abu Dhabi, Ireland, and Pinewood Studios in England. The Force Awakens is scheduled for release on December 18, 2015 in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D, which will be over ten years after the release of the previous live-action Star Wars film, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

The Guardians of the Galaxy will return for the sequel in 2017, bringing Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), Groot (Vin Diesel) and Rocket (Bradley Cooper) back together for their next big adventure. James Gunn is set to return to write and direct. t took years of negotiating, but Marvel and Sony finally reached a deal to bring Peter Parker, the amazing Spider-Man, back home. The character will debut in Captain America: Civil War, before striking out in his own MCU-sanctioned solo adventure in 2017.

The Norse apocalypse will be upon us in fall of 2017 when Asgard is threatened with Ragnarok and Thor must stop destruction from coming to his homeworld. And yes, Loki will be back. The third Avengers story will apparently be so huge that Marvel had to split it into two movies - the first of which hits theaters during summer of 2018. Are the Avengers ready to face off against Thanos? It’s all been building to this! Shifting back to 2018 – because of the addition of Spider-Man - is Black Panther, which will star Chadwick Boseman as the titular African royal leader.
