Disney's Ambitious 2024-2029 Film and TV Release Schedule Revealed - Newsy Today
The Walt Disney Company has announced its ambitious 2024-2029 film and TV release schedules. The company is prioritizing major franchise returns such as Avengers: Doomsday, Toy Story 5, and The Incredibles 3. This strategy aims to maintain Disney's position as a global box office leader. Disney's release schedule leans heavily on sequels and live-action adaptations. The studio is relying on Pixar brands that have historically guaranteed high ticket sales. Despite recent data suggesting a volatile return on investment, Disney is moving forward with live-actions versions of its animated classics, despite significant losses on other similar projects. The strategy shifts away from rapid-fire releases to a more curated approach, allowing competitors to schedule their major releases around Disney's tentpoles.

Dramatic 'cyberpunk' Hyundai detailed
The new member of the Ioniq family, the new Ioniaq V, has been detailed in detail and features a new design direction for Hyundai, with a retro-futuristic design and a new headlight signature. The car also features frameless doors, a multimedia screen spanning both the centre and passenger side, and a head-up display sunken into the dash. The brand also revealed the car's exterior colour palette will include seven colours, from white, silver, grey, and black to more adventurous shades like gold, green and purple. The company plans to use an array of local suppliers in China, sourcing its 800-volt battery from CATL, its self-driving system from Momenta, and various software and hardware components from other Chinese companies. The new model for Australia is likely to be more affordable than the outgoing model, which could help Hyundai comply with tough new emissions rules.

US says strikes against Iranian targets are over, will hold Tehran 'accountable' for violations
The U.S. military has announced that its latest strikes against Iran are over after it hit over 80 targets, including air defense systems, radars, and over 60 small boats used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The announcement was made in a social media post by the U.K. Central Command, which stated that it would hold Iran accountable for further violations of the interim deal between the two countries. The strikes were launched hours after three merchant ships were struck in the Strait of Hormuz, the most in a single day since late April. The US revoked a license for the sale of Iranian oil after the attacks, following the attacks on tankers. The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the move, stating it violated the interim agreement and that the US bears responsibility for this breach.

Korean chip stocks rebound after overnight US selloff, as chip supply remains tight
Shares of South Korean chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix rebounded after an overnight selloff due to concerns over the sustainability of the AI-driven chip boom. The shares rose by 1.4% and 5.8% after initially tracking an overnight decline in U.S. semiconductor stocks. Analysts predict that memory chip supply will remain tight through the third quarter, contributing to bargain buying.
