Friday, Disney officials announced that their upcoming Artemis Fowl adaptation will skip the theaters in favor of a release on their streaming platform, Disney Plus. This decision comes as many theaters are currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and many other Disney films slated for theatrical release in the coming months have been postponed.

After a nearly ten-year series of delays with which we’re sure Fowl fans are all too familiar, the movie was finally slated to release in theaters on May 29 of this year. The most recent trailer, released on March 2, received a mixed reaction from longtime fans.
