Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Indy, while Steven Spielberg will direct.
Disney also has a long list of live-action movies in the works that don't have release dates. Those start with a sequel to "The Jungle Book."
Jon Favreau is expected to return to direct "The Jungle Book 2."
A live-action "Lady and the Tramp" was announced.
Charlie Bean ("The Lego Ninjago Movie") will direct the remake.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie will be made for the company's upcoming digital streaming service which launches in 2019. It's unclear whether or not it would be exclusive to the app.
Disney's second animated film "Pinocchio" is being adapted into a live-action version.
It will be directed by Paul King who has made the two popular "Paddington" movies, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The script is being rewritten by Jack Thorne ("Wonder").
After "Aladdin," a live-action prequel for the Genie is already in the works.
"Genies" will show how the beloved character winds up in the magic lamp.

We'll learn the origin story of the dognapper in "Cruella."
Disney is going to remake its classic "The Little Mermaid" with new music from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Alan Menken.
Rob Marshall ("Chicago") is the top choice to direct, according to Deadline. He directed "Mary Poppins Returns," which will be in theaters December.
Disney will also make a new live-action Peter Pan movie.
According to Deadline, it will be directed by David Lowery who recently brought "Pete's Dragon" back to the big screen.
His pal Tinker Bell will get her own live-action movie, too.
In 2015, The Hollywood Reporter said the movie would be called "Tink" and would star Reese Witherspoon as the spunky fairy.
Disney is also working on a live-action version of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
The fairy tale will have new music by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who wrote the lyrics for "La La Land."
Another film was previously reported to be in the works about Snow White's sister, Rose Red.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Rose Red" will feature her adventure with the dwarves to save Snow White after she bites the poisonous apple.
Evan Daugherty, who previously wrote "Snow White and the Huntsman" starring Kristen Stewart, is working on the project.
It won't just be princesses with their own live-action remakes.

The show aired for three seasons. Reruns ran as part of the Disney Afternoon lineup until 1993.
Disney greenlit a movie for one of its darkest characters — Chernabog — the demon from "Fantasia."
He seems a strange choice for a standalone film, since he's basically a depiction of the devil.
The character is featured in an 11-minute segment called "Night on Bald Mountain."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney's take will be similar to what was done with Maleficent, the villainess of "Sleeping Beauty." That film humanized one of Disney's darkest villains by telling her backstory.
"The Last Jedi" director Rian Johnson was also recently given his own "Star Wars" trilogy.
There's no word yet on what those movies will be about, but they will be separate from the Skywalker saga and the spin-off movies. We can probably expect at least one of those movies to come in the next five years.
"Game of Thrones" showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff will also work on a "series" of "Star Wars" movies.
Benioff and Weiss will write and produce a series of new "Star Wars" films. Variety reports the movies will be different from both the original Skywalker narrative and the Rian Johnson trilogy.
