Sony has booked a 2021 Christmas release date for the fourth chapter in the Hotel Transylvania franchise.

Hotel Transylvania 4 will clash with Universal's Wicked and releases less than a week after Avatar 3 hits the screens on December 17.

The series consists of an ensemble cast, led by the voices of Andy Samberg and Selena Gomez.
