Some unexpected good news for a dedicated (and recently burned out) fan base: Limit date says Disney is back The Rocketeer… again! This time it is not a cartoon for young children, however, but a proper sequel / restart of the beloved comic book adaptation of 1991. It goes straight to Disney + instead of to theaters, though Rocketeer 2021 fans should grab what they can get (and maybe stop bothering MCU fans and Pixar fans by jumping on Twitter threads to say that The Rocketeer is the best Disney superhero movie).
The new Rocketeer, titled The return of the rocket, will be produced by David and Jessica Oyelowo and written by Ed Ricourt (of Now you see me i Jessica Jones), with David Oyelowo who could also star in the film. The film will take place a few years after the original film (however Limit date does not specifically mention whether this takes place in the same universe as that movie) and will focus on a retired Tuskegee aviator who decides to become the new Rocketeer. The original film took place in 1938 and starred Billy Campbell as an acrobatic pilot who finds an experimental jetpack built by Howard Hughes and uses it to become a Nazi fighting superhero, and this new film. film (given the “retired” part of the new hero background story) will presumably take place after the war. That probably means the bad guys won’t be Nazis, which is good and bad, as it’s good when companies like Disney openly promote the punch against the Nazis, but also, well, we’re tired of seeing fucking Nazis these days, right? ?
There is no word on when we might see it The return of the rocket, but seeing as we only know one actor who I could to be there must be a long way. Either way, it will be at Disney + whenever it comes out.
