Next Project Still a Mystery
While fans eagerly await Miyazaki's next masterpiece, Suzuki confirmed that the director has not yet figured out the story for his next project. Miyazaki's focus is currently on The Boy and the Heron, which is set to release in U.S. theaters soon. According to Suzuki, Miyazaki needs to "empty his mind again" before coming up with new ideas for his next venture.
