Plus, Square Enix created that whole ship sailing mechanic for Kingdom Hearts III’s Pirates of the Caribbean level. I’m guessing they don’t get The Rock to do Maui’s voice, though. It’s another recent Disney hit, and both Moana and the demigod Maui could make for fun party members. Moana is also likely due for some Kingdom Hearts representation. Plus Bruno can make an appearance and then we can all proceed to not talk about him. But her sisters, the super-strong Luisa and the plant-controlling Isabela, could join Sora and friends in the world’s battles. Granted, Maribel may not make for an exciting party member, as I can’t imagine she has any combat capabilities. Maybe Encanto’s large family will remind Sora to check in on his mom.

Kingdom Hearts IV is likely to do the same, so I’m betting that Encanto gets a world. Kingdom Hearts III included a lot of modern Disney hits like Frozen and Big Hero 6. It hasn’t appeared in the movies yet, but characters have mentioned the place.Īlso, Thor comes with Loki, one of Disney’s best Marvel characters and one that will work well for a boss fight. Oh, and let’s not forget that Thor’s mythology includes its own afterlife, Hel. Like Sora, Thor has access to an arrangement of strength and magic-based abilities. He’ll also make for a great party member. Unlike the other core Avengers, most of which are no longer part of current Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor is alive, well, and continuing to star in new movies. It’s just a matter of guessing which one. Kingdom Hearts IV is almost certainly going to have a Marvel world. Coco is a beautiful films, and it would make for a beautiful Kingdom Hearts level.Ĭoco‘s colorful Land of the Dead would make for a dazzling Kingdom Hearts location, and it’ll be fun to see Sora, Donald, and Goofy given the skeleton makeover. After Kingdom Hearts III introduced Pixar levels for the first time, I’m sure we’ll see more worlds from that studio’s works in the sequels. Coco is arguably Pixar’s best film in the last decade. Well, if we’re already going to one afterlife, it sure would make sense to include Coco, Pixar’s animated film that takes place largely in the Mexican Land of the Dead. Donald and Goofy even go looking for Hades from Hercules to get his help to find their lost pal. We don’t know much about Kingdom Hearts IV, but we do know that Sora is stuck in a sort of afterlife. In 2002, the idea of a Star Wars level in Kingdom Hearts would have sounded like the most far-fetched kind of pipe dream. Plus you have those adorable Ewoks running around, plenty of Stormtroopers to attack, and Darth Vader even comes down to the moon for a time. It’s one of the few times in the original trilogy that our main heroes are all adventuring together while Luke is a Jedi. The forest moon of Endor also makes sense for a setting. And I can’t imagine Disney would say no, given the success of Kingdom Hearts III and its willingness to throw Star Wars and Marvel at any multimedia project imaginable. I can’t imagine that series director Tetsuya Nomura would want to make a Kingdom Hearts IV if he wasn’t able to secure those franchises. Star WarsĮagle-eyed fans have already spotted what looks like the foot of an AT-ST during the opening shots of the Kingdom Hearts IV reveal, which happen to show a forested area that looks a lot like the forest moon of Endor from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.įorgive my brainrot but is… is that Endor? in MY KH4? IS THAT AN AT-ST IN KINGDOM HEARTS? #KingdomHearts20THanniversary #KingdomHearts #KH4 /DzGLmf7AiV- george | KH 20th !!!! April 10, 2022Įven during the buildup to Kingdom Hearts III, many wondered and hoped that Star Wars and Marvel would make appearances. Now then, let’s get to those predictions. As much as I want worlds from The Rocketeer, National Treasure, The Muppets, and Alien, I don’t think they’re likely (although a Great Gonzo summon would rule). I’m also guessing seven worlds, since that’s how many Disney stages we had in Kingdom Hearts III.
