David Oyelowo will star and produce the Disney+ film, which just hired new writer Eugene Ashe.
After two years on the ground, a new version of The Rocketeer is hopefully ready to blast off once again. Back in 2021, news broke that David Oyelowo was set to produce and star in a legacy sequel to Joe Johnston’s 1991 cult classic for Disney+. However, since then, there hasn’t been much news on what’s happening with the project .
“I was a big fan of the first one. Actually had the poster up in my bedroom as a teenager,” the actor said. “It’s a beloved property over , so to be trusted with it is a real privilege. We’re going to take care of the fans of the original and hopefully bring in a whole new fanbase. In our film, he’s going to be an ex-Tuskegee airman, so it’s still in that 1940s milieu. We know we have to adhere to the things that people loved about the first one.
