It's not clear to me what the answer is but my guess is that Disney will have to offer Wolf enough money that he agrees to keep the film in distribution and the ride running. Which is the point: when you sell your work for film adaptation, no one know if it's going to be a dud or a classic. Termination is copyright's lookback, a way to renegotiate the deal once you've gotten the leverage that comes from success.

If you have a work you signed away the copyright for 35 years or more ago, here is a tool from Creative Commons and the Authors Alliance for terminating the transfer and getting your rights back (disclosure: I am an unpaid member of the Authors Alliance advisory board):

@pluralistic Hi, Cory. I haven't verified this myself, but after posing the question on Bluesky, I did get this answer: Disney can continue using its existing Roger Rabbit works because the statute does not provide for ALL rights to be reverted to Wolf. Existing works are carved out of that reversion and are still subject to the original contract that granted/licensed the rights.
