Anaheim, CALIFORNIA, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Marvel Studios

President Kevin Feige has revealed the star-studded cast of the

upcoming "X-Men" film at Disney's ( DIS ) D23 fan event in California.

The biennial D23 gathering is Disney's ( DIS ) biggest showcase for

upcoming films and television series, and the "X-Men" cast

reveal was among the most anticipated announcements of the

event.

The stars of the film, which will be released in May 2028,

took to the stage in Anaheim on Friday, including Sadie Sink as

Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as

Professor X, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm and

Adam Driver as Nathaniel Milbury, also known as Mr. Sinister.

Disney ( DIS ) also unveiled details of "Frozen 3," which

picks up as Anna is getting married and arrives in cinemas in

November next year. First-look footage teased a new female

antagonist whose identity and voice actor remain undisclosed.

Cast members Kristen Bell, the voice of Anna, and Idina

Menzel, the voice of sister Elsa, performed a new version of

"Frozen Heart," while Josh Gad, who voices living snowman Olaf,

debuted a new song, "Ooooh, Samantha."

Other highlights included first-look footage from "Star

Wars: Starfighter," starring Ryan Gosling, who is also attached

to Disney's ( DIS ) upcoming Marvel Studios project, "Ghost Rider."

Disney ( DIS ) screened footage and announced an October 14 release

date for "VisionQuest", a Disney+ miniseries created by Terry

Matalas based on the Marvel Comics character Vision. The

"WandaVision" spin-off sees Paul Bettany reprising his role

alongside James Spader, who returns as Ultron.

Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter announced a summer

2028 "Incredibles 3" release, with the superhero family

reuniting to face a powerful new villain.

"It's the kids turn," Docter said. "They've been sneaking

out at night to protect the city."

Docter also shared details about "Coco 2," which takes place

several years after the original 2017 animated film set in the

land of the dead, with protagonist Miguel now a teenager.

Benjamin Bratt, who voices antagonist Ernesto de la Cruz,

appeared on stage to discuss the sequel.

"Ernesto de la Cruz is out for revenge, taking Miguel back

to the land of the dead," Bratt said of the film scheduled for a

November 2029 release.

Docter said an animated series based on the "Kingdom Hearts"

video game franchise was in development, while the fourth

installment of the Disney ( DIS ) and Square Enix ( SQNXF ) game would feature a

"Coco" world. Footage shown at the convention showed the main

character from "Kingdom Hearts", Sora, exploring the animated

setting.
