The Rocketeer will appear in a MCU movie

    Disney Junior series 

Sareena and/or Dave Secord gave their daughter Kit the Rocketeer costume as her birthday present.
  • The pilot episode "First Flight" establishes that Kit dreams of going to flight school, and she thinks she's getting flight lessons on her birthday only for her mother to tell her otherwise. The next scene shows her getting a package containing The Rocketeer costume. One would think that she got this gift as essentially an evolution, something better than flight school.
There will be more Rocketeers.
  • At one point Kit’s friends will get there own jet packs and the show will be called The Rocketeers.
Kit's grandmother is either dead or left the family for unknown reasons.
  • Usually when it comes to parental figures/grandparents that are single, the other person will show an interest in other people. Given how Grandpa Ambrose showed quite a bit of admiration for Songbird in "Songbird Soars Again", it's possible her grandmother is no longer around.
    • "Runaway Bulldog" shows a picture of her grandmother, referred to in past tense. It's possible.
    • "Sitti's Visit" josses this. She's very much alive. She just lives out of town since they're traveling by train.
      • Not actually jossed since Ambrose and his wife are Kit's paternal grandparents and the grandmother featured in "Sitti's Visit" is Kit's maternal grandmother.
Sylvester Slapdash will show a more notable soft spot for Kit, possibly pulling a heel face turn.
  • Sylvester Slapdash is interesting among the show's antagonists in how, while he runs into trouble with The Rocketeer, it's Kit Secord, who's an ordinary girl from his perspective, that stops him. In "Skyway Robbery", she got her jetpack back from him , all while saying that it's for The Rocketeer. During his next appearance in "Piggy Bank Caper", she goes out of her way to give him Lillith's coin back, something that does clearly get to him. The scene is then followed up by him taking Kit's bike, but it's done more as a "Sorry. Force of habit." sort of way. As for his future appearances, he'll either try to stop being a thief, or at least notably hold back if Kit gets involved.

The show will be cancelled after 1 season
I really like this show and want to see it continue, but sadly, evidence points to the show being cancelled after a single season:
  • Unlike most Disney TVA shows, it wasn't renewed for a second season before the show could air, which is a rarity since Disney does that with new shows all the time.
  • The show has no merchandise to help support it, which is strange because by as of this writing (February 9, 2020), the show's toys would have been made and released already.
  • The show just isn't as popular as other new shows like T.O.T.S or even acquired show Bluey. The proof is in the show's views. Compare this video's views to this video's views. The fact that the full episode upload of the show hasn't even reached a million views yet is jarring, since Disney Junior is one of the most popular preschool channels around.
  • I saw this comment on the MooseZeeOnNickJr Facebook page made by Karyn Tester, who said they met Nicole Dubuc at a convention, and she said that the show might not make it past the first season. Just so you know, the comment was on a post about Shimmer and Shine, just so you can find it.
  • As of March 2020, Kit has been removed from the Disney Junior YouTube channel banner and replaced with Mira from Mira, Royal Detective. Elena also isn't on there anymore, and her show is ending this year.
  • The show will be shafted to the Disney Junior 24/7 channel in April 2020. If that doesn't scream 'contempt', I don't know what does.
Those are all my reasons.
  • I found this tweet from Charlie Adler , where he said "I'm thrilled to have been part of the series." The fact he said "have been part of the series" instead of "be part of this series" indicates this.
  • Much as i kinda hate to admit it, i feel like the fact there's been no news on Season 2 after the first season finished all the way back in July pretty much confirms this WMG has been proven true.

Kit was chosen by Cliff Secord himself.
Assuming the show won't be cancelled before, there'll be a Time Travel episode explaining how they met. Cliff will connect the dots when Kit mentions "Grandpa Ambrose".
  • It's not time travel, but the episode "Rocketeer Day" seems to head in this direction. Grandpa Ambrose mentions how he met the original Rocketeer as a kid. The Rocketeer also had a solid gold watch with something inside, that something a picture drawn by Ambrose of both of them and calling him dad.
