Disney fans are going to have plenty of movies to sink their teeth into in 2018. And we’re not just talking animated films. From superhero flicks to another Star Wars movie to the return of Mary Poppins, there’s a little something for everyone.

Here are all the Disney-produced movies hitting the big screen this year:

Black Panther (Feb. 16)

In case you didn’t realize, Disney produces all the Marvel superhero movies. The upcoming Marvel flick “Black Panther” is the story of T’Challa (played by “42” star Chadwick Boseman), who returns to his home nation Wakanda to take his place as king but is confronted by an old enemy that threatens to put the entire world at risk. The highly anticipated film is already being lauded for starring a black superhero, something many felt the Marvel franchise was long overdue for.
