It’s a pulp adventure tale in the Indiana Jones vein about a hotshot in a jetpack who punches Nazis on a blimp and has a barely altered Bettie Page knockoff for a girlfriend. But Disney hasn’t expressed any interest in a sequel for a long time, and now that they actually OWN Indiana Jones the chances for The Rocketeer’s revival are nil, right?
