It’s now being reported that Disney is developing a partial continuation (read: sequel/reboot or “requel”) of the original Rocketeer movie, titled simply The Rocketeers.
For related reasons, rumors of a Rocketeer reboot being in the works at Disney have been circulating since at least 2012.
The original Rocketeer didn’t exactly boost Campbell’s status as an actor, so hopefully Rocketeers won’t follow suit in that respect and instead serve as a breakout vehicle for its own young star.
Marvel Studios’ 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger was, in fact, the second movie throwback to WWII-era serial adventures directed by Joe Johnston.
