The day is finally here. Tonight, Disney is hosting its two-hour “Entertainment Showcase” at D23 2026, and io9 will be there in the room. It promises to bring a slew of updates on everything in the wide world of Disney. Will there be new Avengers: Doomsday footage? Is the X-Men cast on hand? Are they ready to announce what’s coming from the future of Star Wars? The answers to all those questions and more are coming live from Anaheim, CA, right about now.
Below, follow our live blog of everything going on at the event.
Aug 14Opening Remarkes
Zootopia 2 co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Ginnifer Goodwin are apparently hosting the night and they introduce the CEO of Disney, Josh D’Amaro. He’s talking about being a Disney fan and his journey to the big job.
Yeah yeah, get to the movies and TV, Josh!
Aug 14Things Are Underway
After a long and, frankly, kind of painful preshow, it’s starting. 25 minutes late. The lights have gone down, and the presentation has begun.
As an overview for the next few hours, there is certainly a lot of content coming that isn’t strictly io9. We’ll keep a run of show going and then focus in on the stuff you care most about.

It’s after 7 p.m. PST, and things haven’t started yet.
