Disney is said to be in the works on a Kingdom Hearts movie adaptation, according to reports

The highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts movie adaptation is reportedly in the works at Disney, with a unique blend of live-action and CGI visuals set to bring the beloved action-RPG game franchise to the big screen. According to insider reports from leaker DanielRPK, Disney is developing the project in a similar vein to the recent Sonic the Hedgehog movies.

Rumors of a Kingdom Hearts adaptation have been circulating since 2020, with an animated TV series initially in the works for Disney+. However, newer reports suggest that the project has evolved into a full-blown movie. This isn’t the first time a Kingdom Hearts adaptation has been attempted, as a TV pilot was greenlit by the Disney Channel back in 2003 but ultimately not picked up for a series.

The potential Kingdom Hearts movie adaptation is said to be in the early stages of development at Disney, with no official green light yet. If the project moves forward, it is expected to be a theatrical release rather than a direct-to-streaming movie on Disney+. The movie is rumored to follow the formula of a live-action/CGI hybrid, similar to the successful Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

Fans of the Kingdom Hearts series can also look forward to the next main installment, Kingdom Hearts 4, set to launch in 2025 according to DanielRPK. With the franchise continuing to expand and evolve, it will be interesting to see how the movie adaptation brings the magical worlds and characters of Kingdom Hearts to life on the big screen.
