Look at it this way: the single most compelling evidence of an OOT in the near future is John Landis, who said what he said nearly two years ago. Beyond that, everything else is speculation along the lines of “Well duh, Disney knows how much money it would make.” Every rumor in the last few years has been dashed again and again. Compare that with actual statements from multiple people in the company, Kennedy, Hidalgo, and others, all of which say in various degrees of bluntness that there’s nothing in the works. Hell, take the silence on the Mike Verta front, too. Either this is the single best-kept secret in the history of film, or we can assess all of the actual empirical facts that we have to look at. Those facts suggest that they’re just not interested, even if they aren’t contractually obligated to suppress the OT. There’s nothing unbelievable about that.
