After nearly four decades on the air, The Simpsons has seen a lot of cancellation rumors come and go — some more reliable than others.

Rob London — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 19:49:47 GMT

Disney's live-action remakes of its animated classics were once sure-fire blockbusters. Movies like Jon Favreau's The Lion King, Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella, and Bill Condon's Beauty and the Beast made a fortune at the box office, and it soon seemed as if the company would translate every last animated feature in the Disney vaults into another live-action chart topper. However, the trend has become decidedly hit-and-miss in recent years. Sure bets like Snow White and Moana have disappointed, but last year's Lilo & Stitch proved there was still some life in the genre. Now, Disney is preparing to unfurl another remake of one of their modern classics.

Harrison Ford might have insisted that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was his final outing as the world’s most famous archaeologist, but apparently nobody told Indy. After five movies, time travel, melting faces, a future Oscar-winning child star and a long-awaited happy ending, it was fair to say Ford might want to hang the fedora up. Alas, no, because Disney has found a pretty novel way to ensure that Ford remains part of the character’s future.
