Disney is Ready to Reboot The Rocketeer

For those of you that do not remember “The Rocketeer”, it was a “period adventure” movie that was a feature film in 1991, that did not do so well at the box office but had decent critic reviews. In the recent few years, director Joe Johnston, also from “Captain America: The First Avenger”, has been trying to get a sequel to The Rocketeer .

“The Rocketeer” is a comic book series that follows the story of a reckless, but heroic pilot named Cliff Secord in the 1930’s and 40’s, set around L.A. and New York, who finds a rocket pack created by Howard Hughes. “The Rocketeer” (Cliff Secord) uses the jet pack to secretly to battle enemies, including the Nazis. It is easy to find comparisons between “The Rocketeer” and “Iron Man,” which started Marvel Studios on its path to greatness back in 2008.

Vulture has learned from inside sources that Disney is developing a return to the ’80s comic book series created by David Stevens under the direction of new studio chief Alan Horn. Disney has not confirmed the project yet but considering most of Disney’s successful projects from the past few years has been from their affiliates (Marve, Pixar, and The Muppets), it would make sense to focus on more lucrative projects with the different subsidiaries.

The 1991 film produced by Walt Disney Pictures starred Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Alan Arkin, Timothy Dalton and Paul Sorvino and was created by writer/artist Dave Stevens.
