Disney Reboots Rocketeer With Young African-American Female Pilot

Seemingly taking a page out of Marvel Comics, now Disney is rebooted The Rocketeer movie which will feature a young African–American female pilot.

THR reported on the news offering the description of The Rocketeer reboot:

“The new take keeps the story in a period setting and offers a fresh view on the characters. Set six years after the original Rocketeer and after Secord has vanished while fighting the Nazis, an unlikely new hero emerges: a young African–American female pilot, who takes up the mantle of Rocketeer in an attempt to stop an ambitious and corrupt rocket scientist from stealing jetpack technology in what could prove to be a turning point in the Cold War.”

The Rocketeer reboot/sequel wil be written by Max Winkler and Matt Spicer, and is produced by The Jungle Book‘s Brigham Taylor and sports athletes L.A. Clippers Power forward Blake Griffin and Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil.

The Rocketeer first appeared in the pages of Pacific Comics created by Dave Stevens in 1982 with the story set in 1938 when stunt pilot Cliff Secord comes into the possession of an experimental jetpack that allows him to take his fight for justice to the skies.

The first Rocketeer movie was released in 1991 from director Joe Johnston starring Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Alan Arkin, Timothy Dalton, Paul Sorvino and Terry O’Quinn.

D23 Expo 2017 Takes On Comic-Con’s With July Date

Disney has announced that the 2017 D23 Expo will move to the month of July, which is also the month held by the San Diego Comic-Con.

The 2017 D23 Expo wil take place the weekend of July 14–16. Previous years saw the Disney 23 Expo take place in August.

Comic-Con has yet to announce a date for 2017, but this year sees Comic-Con international held July 21-24; last year it was held July 9-12.

Disney announced the following regarding the D23 Expo (held every two years) which mentions Star Wars and Marvel.

Disney kept Marvel Studios out of last year’s Comic-Con, obviously to promote the material at their D23, which saw announcements for Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man, Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange panels, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars and more. Disney has Star Wars: Episode VIII and Thor 3 out later that year in 2017, so it’s possible we could get some new footage from those movies, with the potential for teases from the 2018 Black Panther movie and Avengers: Infinity War as well.

2017 D23 Expo Info: 

All the magic and excitement of the past, present, and future of Disney entertainment will come together once again D23 presents D23 Expo 2017 at the Anaheim Convention Center the weekend of July 14–16. Each of Disney’s magical worlds will unite under one roof to celebrate what’s new and what’s on the horizon from theme parks, television, music, gaming, and films, including Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel. Advance tickets for D23 Expo 2017 will go on sale at D23Expo.com beginning July 14, 2016.

D23 Expo launched in 2009, and since then the biennial event has attracted tens of thousands of Disney fans from across the country and around the world.

Highlights planned for the fifth D23 Expo include the Disney Legends Ceremony, which honors the talented men and women who have made significant contributions to the Disney legacy; an all-new exhibit curated by the Walt Disney Archives; D23 Expo’s costume contest, Mousequerade, showcasing the most creative designs by fans; the D23 Expo Emporium, where Disney fans can buy, sell, and trade Disney collectibles, memorabilia, merchandise, and more; and the D23 Expo Design Challenge. (Details on the Design Challenge and Mousequerade are coming soon.)

The 2017 Expo will feature a massive show floor full of immersive experiences and special opportunities to see what’s next for Disney around the world—and guests may run into their favorite Disney stars, characters, Imagineers, animators, and filmmakers. StagePass, the popular ticket distribution system that allows attendees to obtain guaranteed seats for some of Expo’s most popular presentations, and StorePass, which allows priority entry to select shopping venues at the event, will once again enhance the guest experience. Hall D23, the popular presentation and performance venue featuring more than 7,000 seats, will return, as will Stage 23, Stage 28, and Center Stage.

The fifth event follows the success of D23 Expo 2015, where guests were treated to appearances by such celebrities as Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford, Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Evans, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Dwayne Johnson and watched performances by Ne-Yo, Sabrina Carpenter, the cast of Teen Beach 2, and stars of Disney’s shows on Broadway. Fans previewed costumes from Star Wars: The Force Awakens and were the first to hear about the new Star Wars-themed lands coming to Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. They also enjoyed a look back at Disney’s rich history through extraordinary panels, presentations, and exhibits and discovered the newest entertainment, technology, and products coming from Disney.

D23 Members will receive special pricing on both one- and three-day tickets to the event, which is open to the general public. D23 Gold and Charter Members will also be entitled to special benefits at the 2017 Expo. Gold Members will also have an opportunity to purchase the Sorcerer Package, which provides a host of special benefits and amenities. Ticket prices will be announced this summer.

Marvel’s Avengers: Ultron Revolution Season 3, Ep. 3 – Clip 1

Watch a new clip above for the next episode of Marvel’s Avengers: Ultron Revolution.

Captain America battles Baron Zemo back in 1944 in a new clip from “Marvel’s Avengers: Ultron Revolution,” airing Sunday at 8:30 AM ET on Disney XD!

 

About:

After defeating world-shattering threats like Ultron and Thanos, the Avengers have less reason to come back together to fight smaller villains as a team. However, the unexpected return of Ultron reunites the Avengers and they must learn what it is to function as a unit again. New challenges include the unpredictable Ultimate Ultron, but also Baron Zemo, the Masters of Evil, the Inhumans, and the futuristic Kang the Conquerer. Through these events, the Avengers prove once again that they are more than a powerhouse team–they are also a family and their combined strength is what allows them to be Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. 

With an all-star roster consisting of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Falcon and, occasionally–when she feels like it and only when she feels like it–Black Widow, the Avengers are a team in the truest sense. The Avengers save the world from the biggest threats imaginable–threats no single super hero could withstand.

No Plans For R-Rated Marvel Movies Says Disney

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24586:]]

Following the success of the R-Rated Fox Studios Deadpool movie, will Marvel Studios follow suit?

What should come as no surprise, the answer is no.

Disney CEO Bob Iger commented on the success of the Deadpool movie today at a Disney shareholder meeting and said Marvel will not be making any R-rated movies.

A reporter for the LA Times was on hand and tweeted about it.

While Marvel Studios doesn’t plan on any R-rated superhero movies, Fox has already greenlit the sequel for Deadpool; it’s being reported the next Wolverine and possibly X-Force could be R-Rated, and it’s been said Zack Snyder has an R-Rated Batman Vs. Superman director’s cut coming out on Blu-Ray for WB.

LEGO Star Wars: Freemaker Animated Series Announced

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24296:]]

LEGO STAR WARS: THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES ANIMATED SERIES COMING TO DISNEY XD THIS SUMMER NEW CHARACTERS, NEW ADVENTURES, NEW BRICKS-MEETS-BLASTERS FUN.

The Force is set to meet LEGO bricks in a new galaxy-spanning adventure.

 

StarWars.com is thrilled to announce LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, an all-new animated television series scheduled to debut this summer on Disney XD in the US. The fun-filled adventure comedy series, set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, will introduce all-new heroes and villains in exciting adventures with many familiar Star Wars characters.

Told in the whimsically-charged style that audiences have come to expect from LEGO Star Wars entertainment, the series stars the Freemakers, a family of scavengers who build and sell starships from the scoured debris of space battles strewn throughout the galaxy. When their youngest discovers a natural connection with the Force through an ancient artifact — the Kyber Saber — his world is turned upside down, and he and his family are thrown into an epic struggle against the Empire to restore peace and freedom to the galaxy. Throughout their adventures, the Freemakers explore new worlds, meet new and familiar characters, and learn the true value of what it means to be a family.

“We are very excited to launch for the first time a TV series with Disney XD,” said Jill Wilfert, vice president, licensing & entertainment at the LEGO Group. “The creative team behind The Freemaker Adventures is extremely talented, and the series is a great testament to our longstanding and successful partnership with Lucasfilm and Disney. The show masterfully combines the rich heritage of storytelling, great characters, action, and adventure in a galaxy far, far away with the creativity, imagination, and humor that only LEGO Star Wars can deliver. We are sure fans young and old are going to love the show.”

“With The Freemaker Adventures we are thrilled to bring all-new stories to life that could only be realized in the LEGO Star Wars universe,” said Carrie Beck, vice president, animation development at Lucasfilm. “We are embarking on an unprecedented collaboration that will allow us to extend the narrative experience of the Star Wars saga with the same playful spirit that’s always made LEGO Star Wars so much fun to watch. We are so thankful to have such great partners in the LEGO Group, Disney XD, and series developers Bill Motz and Bob Roth.”

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures is a production of Wil Film, the LEGO Group, and Lucasfilm. Developed for television by Bill Motz and Bob Roth (Penguins of Madagascar), they join Torsten Jacobson (LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales) and Jill Wilfert (The LEGO Movie) as executive producers alongside producers Carrie Beck (Star Wars Rebels), Jason Cosler (LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Avengers Reassembled!), Jake Blais, and John McCormack.

HARRISON FORD REVEALS AN EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW OF STAR WARS-THEMED LANDS COMING TO DISNEYLAND AND WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORTS AS ABC PRESENTS “THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY: DISNEYLAND 60,” AIRING FEBRUARY 21

 

Acclaimed actor Harrison Ford, who portrays Han Solo in the “Star Wars” film franchise, gives viewers an exclusive preview of Star Wars-themed lands being developed at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. New details of the ambitious plans to bring Star Wars to life at both resorts will be revealed during “The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60,” with Master of Ceremonies Derek Hough, airing SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.

The Disneyland Resort will continue its 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration through Summer 2016, extending the three spectacular after-dark shows created for the special anniversary – the “Paint the Night” parade, the immersive “Disneyland Forever” fireworks show and the all-new “World of Color–Celebrate!

The LA Phil’s season extends from September through June at Walt Disney Concert Hall and throughout the summer at the Hollywood Bowl. With the preeminent Los Angeles Philharmonic at the foundation of its offerings, the LA Phil aims to enrich and transform lives through music, with a robust mix of artistic, education and community programs.

Disney / Marvel Axes X-Men: Danger Room Protocols Fan Series

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23998:]]

Well, that is all she wrote for the X-Men: Danger Room Protocols web series meant to be a homage to the 90s cartoon.

Following the debut of the initial episode, Disney/Marvel has put a stop to the project citing copyright issues.

The creator of the series has posted a video on YouTube stating it’s cancelled.

Joel Furtado states he spent a year creating the project and all his money, and that he can’t afford to get into a legal battle with Marvel. 

“I’m sort of being forced at this time to shut down and remove all the episodes and content to do with the series,” Furtado said, and then went on to thank the fans for their support.

“When I set out to make this project, I never really thought this was going to be an issue,” Furtado continued. “I didn’t think that Marvel was going to react this way, and this outcome, for me, is a little bit shocking. Just giving the precedent on the internet of how much fan art is made on a daily basis by thousands of people…. I never thought I would be treated differently.”

It’s possible Furtado might be able to put the video back up if he claims it’s a parody. The Supreme Court has ruled parody and satire come under Fair Use. Of course, Furtado could still face an uphill legal battle with Disney, which he obviously wants to avoid.

“The most heartbreaking thing of this entire experience isn’t even that I have to throw out this entire project in the garbage, or that I wasted all my money making this,” explained Furtado. “The most heartbreaking thing is that this company that I’ve idolized my entire life, and I’m finally meeting for the first time professionally, and this is the experience that we’ve gone through, where now Marvel’s looking at me like I’m an enemy to them. And that’s never what I wanted.” 

CBR reached out to Marvel who declined to comment.
