Darkwing Duck revival ordered at Disney+, Mark Hamill to star
First look at the new ‘DARKWING DUCK’ animated series. Mark Hamill will star as Darkwing Duck.
Errol Olenja23Learns that Jim Cummings won’t be coming back as DW: That’s a damn shame. I guess they’re going for someone much younger I guess. Learns that Mark Hamill was cast as DW: WTF???
Maximus🇨🇦6Then we got Seth Rogen as launchpad. Get ready for his overused laugh.
darkwingtwilight.bsky.social4they only one guy with a ego as big as darkwing duck
Graydon Webb4One of the many screwings over of Jim Cummings lately from Disney. You hate to see it
Jumpycool3Holy crap Darkwing is coming ba- MARK HAMILL?!
John Cusack’s Sack2The lack of Jim Cummings is disturbing.
MsMeeea18Triste pour Jim Cummings mais Hamill a même pas besoin de pousser pour faire la voix de mister D vu qu'il a exactement le même timbre que Cummings en Mystermask xD J'espère que ce sera dans le même univers que la récente série Duck Tales (au contraire de la 1ere série qui était un autre univers)
frog totem8i bang my chest like donkey kong
Ogiemon (WORKING ON CRAVENVILLE ISSUE 3)5IT SHOULD'VE BEEN THE PLANNED DUCKTALES 2017 SPIN OFF DAMMIT 😭
JasonVoorhees20115...Huh. That's actually not a bad pick for an older Darkwing.
wayne4for the love of fucking Christ just make something new. nobody young enough to watch this gives a shit. Who is this for? I want to stick my head in the fucking oven.
TBQ's Power Grows in Fall4OH MY GOD I LOVE EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION HERE
Canadian Tokusatsu Donald2I’ll just go ahead and say it: Seth Rogen is the new Haim Saban. Multiple entertainment projects wise. Also with better politics. Give him Power Rangers, he’ll recharge them up to full maximum power.
Aso 🥭📚2I’m actually optimistic about this. But then again, I’m genuinely concerned about witnessing something as catastrophic as the Chip and Dale movie. Also I’m actually ok with Mark Hamill being Darkwing. He’s actually into voice acting after all.
'Darkwing Duck' reboot has been ordered to series at Disney+ Voice cast includes: • Mark Hamill — Darkwing Duck • Seth Rogen — Launchpad McQuack • Lizzy Caplan — Gosalyn Mallard • Dan Stevens — Glade McTowers
The Helix King12I love Mark Hamill, but I’m not a huge fan of this. When the new DuckTales came out and they rebooted Darkwing as part of the show I had reservations, but both the new DuckTales and the included Darkwing nailed it and honored Jim Cummings legacy at the same time.
SaiyanMyNameE3Yeah cool where is Cummings at and why isnt his name attached to DarkWing?!
Andrew Quinn🏳️🌈🏴🇬🇧🏴🇵🇸🤘🏻😸2Looks like it could be cool. I'm not not giving Disney another penny until they drop the adverts, but I will be pirating this on convenience 🏴☠️
Debt Creature2damn that so crazy, im not subscribing
Officer Cornjob2Will likely check it out (I'm one of the sickos who actually liked the Danger Mouse reboot). But given his cartoon superheroics history, shouldn't @markhamillofficial.bsky.social be voicing Quackerjack?
Meliodas1Qué te parece @boimler.bsky.social ?
Clifford Batteau 13On the one hand, catiously optimistic cause Seth Rogen has been on a roll with franchise revivals. On the other, it's not a DuckTales 2017 continuation. Boo
Steve Saylor8As much as I love this news being a Darkwing Duck fan since I was a kid, I am sad Jim Cummings isn’t on this list. It’s like trying to replace Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime. He’s that special to me. And he can still do the role. I hope maybe he’s Negaduck or some other role in this.
Lontar 론타르7Pretty excited to pirate this
Smokey-Hell Nelson6Motherfucking @markhamillofficial.bsky.social ?! I AM SO IN
ThisIsFine6LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!! DARKWING, DARKWING!!!!!!
Steve Kidd5To clarify to everyone, it’s NOT actually a reboot. It’s a sequel to the original 90s cartoon.
shnick19855With that voice cast I imagine most of the budget is going to them and not the animation. I give it a season, maybe two before it's canceled.
Rat3dEd ✌🏾3YESSSSSSSSS I love Darkwing Duck. I met Jim Cummings a couple years ago and had him sign my Darkwing Duck Funko Pop. Awesome guy, but I know Mark Hamill is gonna kill it. Seth Rogen as Launchpad is perfect casting, imo.
Old Gold & Blue2going to be really disappointed if this is not set in the darkwing duck continuity from the ducktales reboot and the voice actor changes make me think it won't be yes i am normal thank you very much
Mike Cornell2Excited that they don’t screw this up for eveyone who loved Darkwing Duck.
This is what I’ve been working on the past year and a half. It is so awesome, and the talent across our cast and crew is amazing. Start getting dangerous, folks. press.disneyplus.com/news/disney-...
Kirk Damato1Seriously the most awesome news I've heard all year!
monorail times1Can’t wait! My favorite Lorcana card!
Bethany1Good luck, looking forward to checking this out when it launches 😊💜
MsMeeea38Il est le caillou dans votre chaussure ! La virgule mal placée dans votre dossier de location ! Il est la terreur qui corrige toutes les erreurs...
Ben Siemon23This has been in production for such a long time under such secrecy I'm glad the word is out and we'll finally get to see what Brendan and his awesome team have been cooking up!
Johnny Madsen2Cette information est plus qu'acceptable !
Seeing some people say Mark Hamill voicing Darkwing Duck in the reboot is "Stunt casting" cause he's a "Celebrity voice actor." I.E. comparing it to studios hiring big stars to voice characters. Mark Hamill is simply a voice actor. His voice over career speaks for itself, even beyond The Joker.
SJWJamesBond16Stunt casting? But Mark Hamill has been voice acting forever, his voice acting career even started way back in the 70s when he was in Ralph Bakshi's Wizards while he was making Star Wars for crying out loud!
PR_Deadpool10Mark Hammill is a fucking nerd who loves and respects voice acting,I still remember when Jim Cummings met him for the first time and Mark asked him to do Tigger and Pooh and Jim couldn't even believe he knew who he was and that he the original actors of those characters
Music Geekery7You could make a case for him being more recognisable as a voice actor than live action at this point. And given the original Darkwing Duck, I'd say his being cast in the role is absolutely perfect.
redmagenamedblue.bsky.social7He's voiced not one, but two of the greatest animated villains ever put to film
Andy Mayer7I'd argue more people know Mark Hamill as Joker than as Luke Skywalker.
Rootbeercutiebooty5Yeah like I think he's done more voice acting than IRL acting
SJWJamesBond22How is it stunt casting when Hamill has been a voice actor forever? He even got his start doing that with Ralph Bakshi's Wizards while he was in Star Wars. I don't get the complaints.
🩸💀 The Horror Guru 💀🩸19Mark Hamill is a great example of why I find the "celebrity voice actor" discourse more complicated than people want to admit. Quite a few famous live action actors made the transition into voice acting as either a secondary or primary career, Hamill is just one of the most notable.
Jessalyn Matthews 🏳️⚧️5Hamill may have *started* as a stunt voice, but he VERY quickly became as much a regular VA as a Frank Welker or Peter Cullen. Like, this is a big lead role going to a career voice actor, which is very awesome
Collier “CJ” Jennings2Hamill is one of those big names who actually has the talents and credit to back up voice casting. Hell, he might be one of the few cases that can pull it off
Noah Stickley2Now I'm starting to feel like the term "stunt casting" will lose all meaning after this news. MARK HAMILL HAS BEEN VOICE ACTING BEFORE STAR WARS, THE MAN IS PROLIFIC IN THAT PROFESSION EVEN BEFORE JOKER!!!!! Jesus.
Disney+ has ordered a new Darkwing Duck series, bringing back the classic Disney Afternoon character for a new generation featuring Mark Hamill and Seth Rogen in lead roles. https://bit.ly/4hj6lDv
Analoren4kinda sad it's not a continuation from Ducktales 2017. I hope it's good!
Dysheki2Love Mark Hamill, but why not the original voice actor?
gomhar.bsky.social1Is Seth supposed to be launchpad? Cause no that doesn’t work
Kaylyn Saucedo - MarzGurl180I understand the Jim Cummings voice is iconic, and I do think part of me will miss that. However, the more I learn about Jim over the years, the more I think, "You know, maybe we just let the past be the past." I am interested to see what happens.
Mike Toole46there is no future any more; just an ever-repeating present
HyperVoiceActing (COMMS OPEN)15I'm willing to give Mark a chance, I actually don't think he's that unfitting for DW. My personal peeve is that we already had a solid DW successor in Chris Diamantopoulos Even if they weren't gonna continue the Ducktales '17 universe, nothing was stopping them from just getting Chris back
Modern Gorgfare82 seasons, 3 years apart. 21 episodes total. But hey, Zendaya might pop up.
Harley - PomPomPastel 🏳️⚧️3Jim Cummings is still alive. I love Mark, I have a giant BTAS Joker tattooed on my back & I'm named Harley. This is just as disrespectful as getting Keifer Sutherland to voice Snake while David Hayter is still around.
King Blackbird2I will give this one a shot but I will be FOREVER ANNOYED it's not the spin-off of DuckTales 2017 THAT WE WERE FUCKING PROMISED DISNEY!!!
Brian K Myers2Wish it had a tie to the modern DuckTales series which had Darkwing Duck, however I am still intrigued by how this will go.
Brendan Haley2Hell yeah, Sean Tretta and Tiffany Shepis!!
Trust me, Darkwing Duck is hands down my favorite Disney Afternoon series. I am nervous. But I am also hopeful.
Kaylyn Saucedo - MarzGurl64Yes, this is a large part of it. I have not looked him up on Twitter like I once did, but particularly in Trump's first term, Jim was really vocal and aggressive about his beliefs on social media. (More in next post.)
An Anonymous User5For me it was Talespin, but that’s at least getting a comic run currently
Orchestructive2If Mark is doing his voice... that's an upgrade actually.
Simon J Broome2Rogan did well with the Muppet show Pilot, I thought. Pity that the idiot execs couldn't "find a way to make it work".
Drew Waranis 🍉 🇮🇷 🇨🇺 🇻🇪2I hope they bring back a lot of people from DuckTales (2017)
Ami, aka Ser Reese2Same here! I hope Stephanie Beatriz returns for Gosalyn.
Oh... My... GOD! This was the biggest "spit-take" moment of the day! I mean, LOOK at this cast! Seth Rogen AND Mark Hamill? I can actually hear it! I can't wait to tune in once this releases! Let's get dangerous!
Dani1Honestly? At least it's 99% character actors and voice talent in the cast. Good on ya, Seth!
Andrew Hager1Actually, this is one of the reasons why I was in such a funk, especially with so many people throwing Jim Cummings under the bus.
Isaacarthy1Franchise reboots having Seth Rogen’s involvement seems to be a good sign these days
Andy Mayer1I know everyone will brush off Seth Rogen for his acting ability, but when you look at his work on Ninja Turtles, The Muppets, Invincible, and The Boys, I say we let this man cook.
