John Carter is hopefully going back to Mars.

After the commercial failure of Disney’s version of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter, it seemed as if the epic hero’s big screen adventures were over. However, the writer’s estate is not giving up so easily.

According to the president of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., James Sullos: “We will be seeking a new partner to help develop new adventures on film as chronicled in the eleven Mars novels Burroughs wrote. This adventure never stops. Along with a new Tarzan film in development by Warner Bros, we hope to have John Carter of Mars become another major franchise to entertain worldwide audiences of all ages.”
