David Oyelowo Questions Disney's Intentions With 'The Rocketeer' Reboot
Actor and producer David Oyelowo reveals what happened with his planned reboot of The Rocketeer, and it certainly doesn't look good for Disney. The Rocketeer was created in 1982 as a throwback to old pulp heroes of the 1940s in a property that seemed tailor-made for film. Disney quickly purchased the rights and released the feature film adaptation in 1991. Despite having a cult fanbase, the movie was a box office disappointment. Fans were given hope when Oyelowo, the actor best known for his work in Selma and Government Cheese, signed on in 2021 to star and produce a sequel/reboot titled Return of the Rocketeer. Despite Disney seemingly being enthusiastic about the property just four years ago, no news has come out, and it appears the studio might have made the announcement more for optics.
