Disney movie The Rocketeer is getting a revival.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Walt Disney Studios are bringing the 90s movie back for a sequel set six years after the original.

The Rocketeer, starring Billy Campbell and Jennifer Connelly, is about a young pilot who uses a jetpack to become a flying superhero.

In the revamp – apparently titled The Rocketeers –  the original Rocketeer has disappeared after fighting the Nazis, so it will be up to a new pilot to take up the mantle and fight those who want to use the Rocketeer’s technology for evil.

And the new Rocketeer will be a black woman.

Fans of Mrs. Browns Boys D’Movie will be sad to hear that the falling value of the British pound has slammed the brakes on production of a proposed sequel.

The news will make Brexit all the more worse… or possibly serve as a silver lining, depending on your view of the divisive BBC comedy.

Show creator (and the titular Mrs Brown himself) Brendan O’Carroll has revealed that the plunging UK economy has sent production costs soaring – meaning the planned sequel is on hold until things even out.

Suicide Squad has, and it pains us to write this, been panned by critics.

Despite Jared Leto going horrifyingly method to get into his role as The Joker, it hasn’t completely paid off.

The film sees CIA agent Amanda Waller assemble a team of villains to take on a life-threatening mission to protect the city following the events of Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice.

Official reviews were released on Tuesday night, and ‘disastrous’, ‘flat’ and ‘boring’ are just some of the words being used to describe director David Ayer’s latest.

And he also pointed out he had made the movie ‘for the fans’, and had loved doing so.
