The Simpsons is arguably the most popular animated series of all time, having been on the air since 1989 and spawning countless spinoffs, including video games, comics, merchandise, and, of course, a hit film.
'The Simpsons Movie' was released in 2007 and was a critical and box office success, earning $536.4 million. Now, a sequel is finally set to release 20 years later on the exact same date as the Minecraft sequel.
On top of these two movies, other highly-anticipated sequels are set to release in the Summer of 2027, including 'How to Train Your Dragon 2,' 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,' 'Shrek 5,' 'Man of Tomorrow,' and 'A Quiet Place Part III."
Needless to say, 2027 is building up to be one of the biggest years for movies in recent memory.
