The Rocketeer Sequel Pitched by Batman Writer Grant Morrison
Disney's 1991 superhero film The Rocketeer, based on the beloved comic book character, received critical acclaim but underperformed commercially, remaining a cult classic. Despite its quality, the film never received a sequel during the 1990s, standing alone in the studio's superhero catalog. Decades later, The Batman writer Grant Morrison pitched a sequel concept to Disney, but the studio ultimately rejected the project. The rejection means The Rocketeer continues its legacy as a standalone film without continuation.
