It only took 25 years, but Rocketeer fans rejoiced with the news of a reboot. Although the project is in early development, it's hard not to get excited. The new storyline will take place six years after the original Rocketeer with a female pilot taking the helm. We'll be keeping a close eye on more news as it develops.
