Pocahontas (2025)
As of January 19, 2025, Disney has not announced a live-action adaptation of “Pocahontas.” Speculation arose from a fan-made trailer featuring Amber Midthunder as Pocahontas and Austin Butler as John Smith, which utilized deepfake technology to create a realistic portrayal.
Disney’s current live-action lineup includes:
“Mufasa: The Lion King” (December 20, 2024)
“Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” (March 21, 2025)
“Moana” (July 10, 2026)
Additionally, a live-action “Lilo & Stitch” is in development, though its release date remains unannounced.
Composer Alan Menken has expressed doubts about a live-action “Pocahontas,” citing challenges in adapting the story to align with modern sensibilities without causing offense.Given the absence of an official announcement, there is no storyline to describe for a live-action “Pocahontas” film.
