When Naruto loses copyright, will people create a remake with somewhat changed story?

[Narutobirama]

After it loses copyright, anyone will be free to use Naruto world as they like. At that point, do you think remake with a somewhat changed story will be made?

It happens with time. Around 70 years after original author dies.

Probably but I feel a remake would ruin what the author originally intended the story to be.

By the time Naruto loses copyrights, most current fans would be dead. Not to mention that it probably will be forgotten after so many years.

I don't think it's necessary to wait for the copyright to expire, someone could buy the rights. But I doubt anyone would be interested in making a full remake. Or rather, those who would are probably content with writing fanfics.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees ! Can't wait for it.

Who knows if it would still be popular after all those years. Naruto will probably get remade even before Kishi dies.

But that isn't really the same, is it? Superman had creators, but then there were (and still are) many artists and writers who wrote stories about him, different continuities, etc. Yes, DC Comics had that thing when they basically rebooted their entire universe (Crisis on Infinite Earths, was it? I'm not too knowledgeable about comic books), but it was done for convenience since many writers expanded the universe(s) too much, and they wanted to simplify it. Naruto wouldn't need that, being a singular, continuous story.

Point is, there isn't really a single "Superman story" out there. There are many, including alternate ones, and what exactly he is depends on the writer. Even his personality evolved over time. It's not the case with Naruto, as it, well, actually a story that ended, and was written by one person (mostly).

I could actually see more Naruto spin-offs, we've already gotten the Lee and Sasuke ones, while the novels aren't written by Kishi but are apparently in the same continuity. But a full-fledged reboot of the "main" story? That would be pointless IMO.
