The family will be returning to movie theaters after a 20-year hiatus. However, its plot is being kept under wraps for now.

\"The Simpsons Movie\" was released in July 2007 and was a smash hit, earning $536 million at the global box office. Its plot found the town of Springfield being contained under a glass dome after Homer polluted the town's water supply.

David Silverman directed the film.

The sequel takes over the release date Disney previously kept for an untitled Marvel film.
