Future Studio Ghibli Films
While The Boy and the Heron was rumored to be Hayao Miyazaki's final film, as of October 2023, Miyazaki was actively working on his next project for Studio Ghibli. “He's thinking about this next project every day, and I can't stop him — in fact, I've given up,” said producer Toshio Suzuki. “I no longer try to dissuade him, even if he were to make a failed film. In life, it's only the work that delights him.” No further details about the project have been announced.
