‘Artemis Fowl’ will premiere June 12 on Disney+
“Artemis Fowl,” the Disney film that was supposed to be released theatrically but pulled due the coronavirus will premiere June 12, 2020, on Disney+.
“With audiences largely unable to attend theatres in the current environment, we are thrilled to offer the premiere of ‘Artemis Fowl’ on Disney Plus,” Ricky Strauss, president of content and marketing at Disney Plus, previously said. “Director Kenneth Branagh and his spectacular cast take viewers right into the vibrant, fantasy world of the beloved book, which fans have been waiting to see brought to life onscreen for years. It’s great family entertainment that is the perfect addition to Disney Plus’s summer lineup.”
Disney has since rearranged its entire theatrical release schedule.
“Artemis Fowl” is a fantasy adventure based on the novel of the same name by Eoin Colfer. Twelve-year-old Irish criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl II, alongside his trusted bodyguard Domovoi Butler, capture Captain Holly Short, a high-ranking LEP-RECON officer of a secret underground world filled with an assortment of magical creatures, to keep as hostage in exchange for gold to restore the Fowl family fortune.
