During a preview of the second part of the 'How Do You Live? Exhibition' at the Ghibli Museum on May 24, 2024, Goro Miyazaki revealed that Hayao Miyazaki is working on a new project that could become his next film.

According to Goro Miyazaki, his father began creating panoramic boxes based on his previous works as a way to pass the time. However, Goro felt that constantly revisiting previous works could become monotonous for Hayao Miyazaki.

Encouraging him to pursue new projects, Goro suggested: “Why don't you create something for your next movie?”

“And that's what he's working on now.”, revealed Goro. “Whether it actually becomes his next film, I don't know, but it's a nostalgic action-adventure story, and I'm looking forward to it.“

Observation: The original Japanese phrase used by Goro Miyazaki is 冒険活劇風 (bouken katsugeki-fu) which translates to – “in the style of an adventure film/movie”. However, it can also be used to describe an action-adventure film in a broader sense.

Previously, Toshio Suzuki had revealed that Miyazaki's The Boy And The Heron will not be his swan song, and that he is currently working on a new film.

Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese animator, filmmaker, and manga artist. The founder of Studio Ghibli, he has achieved international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and creator of Japanese animated feature films, and is widely considered one of the most talented filmmakers in the history of animation.

Some of his notable works include Laputa: Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Away from spirit, Curebetween others.

At the 77th Cannes International Film Festival, Goro Miyazaki revealed that Miyazaki considered all the animators around him as rivals.

In addition to discussing his father's competitive spirit, Goro Miyazaki also touched on the future of Studio Ghibli, jokingly stating that it will be determined when Hayao Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki are no longer around.
