Future Studio Ghibli Films

Despite rumors that The Boy and the Heron might be Hayao Miyazaki's swan song, as of October 2023, he is actively developing his next project for Studio Ghibli. Producer Toshio Suzuki shared, “He's thinking about this next project every day, and I can't stop him — in fact, I've given up. 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.” While no further details about the project have been disclosed, Miyazaki's passion for his craft remains undiminished.
