>An all-new “Darkwing Duck” series has been greenlit for Disney+, bringing back Drake Mallard as the iconic crime fighter Darkwing Duck. This action-packed continuation of the beloved franchise comes from Sean Tretta (“Star Trek: Picard”) and Borja Peña Gorostegui (“Lost & Crowned”), who both serve as executive producers. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Alex McAtee and Gabby Grantham are producing for Point Grey Pictures. Tad Stones is the creator of the original “Darkwing Duck” series and consulted on the development of his new adventures.>For the last 35 years, Darkwing Duck has been trapped in his worst nightmare: an alternate world that’s never heard of his superhero exploits. Now a rebellious teen named Duckie who knows all about his heroic past shows up to pull this ego-fueled vigilante back into battle. Together, this unlikely duo will get dangerous to fight old enemies like Negaduck and Megavolt and reunite with allies Launchpad, Gosalyn and Morgana to save the entire universe.
>The lead cast includes Mark Hamill (“Batman: The Animated Series,” “Batman: Arkham Asylum”) as Drake Mallard aka Darkwing Duck, Seth Rogen (“The Muppet Show”) as Launchpad McQuack, Lizzy Caplan (“Party Down”) as Gosalyn Mallard, Lilimar (“Inside Out 2”) as Duckie, Dan Stevens (“Onslaught”) as Glade McTowers, Tiffany Shepis (“Star Trek: Picard”) as Rosa, Kathryn Newton (“Avengers: Doomsday”) as Firecracker, Teo Briones (“Final Destination Bloodlines”) as Timb, Tyler Dean Flores (“Neon”) as Pondsy, Katie Rich (“Saturday Night Live”) as Officer Shanks, and Nat Faxon (“The Descendants”) as Officer Webb. >“Disney said ‘Let’s get dangerous and we said “hell yeah”” shared the Point Grey team. >”Like every other fan of the original show, I’m excited to see Darkwing getting dangerous again in a whole new series," said Tad Stones. The new creative team has certainly amped up the action and comedy without forgetting the Disney heart. This series places DW in the literary tradition of Robin Hood, Zorro, and Sherlock Holmes, heroes whose lore has been reinterpreted by multiple creators in multiple mediums. They explored the core of those characters by tossing them into new eras, new relationships, and even new universes. No matter when or where, Darkwing Duck will appear in a cloud of blue smoke to grab the spotlight.”
Do they still keep the detail in the pitch bible where Darkwing is a cuck and accepts Negaduck stealing his life?
>>155573453>seth rogan as launchpadI really wish he would stop sticking his fingers into the animation industry
Does anyone have the concept art/bible that leaked for this a while back? I remember it looking crazy
>>155573499launchpad doesn’t show up until the finale of season 1 according to the bible, so things must’ve changed a bit. also negaduck is being described as an enemy here.
inb4 Jim Cummings loses his mind and goes on an apeshit rant(I do think it'd be cool to have him as Nega Duck or something)
Holy shit Reagan as Gosalyn maybe this won't be badhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFryZwddvUg&pp=ygUNcmVhZ2FuIHJpZGxleQ%3D%3D
>>155573450Better than what nutales team was gonna do lmao
>>155573450Since this never died, it means that crappy Recess thing and beanmouth Gummi Bears are still alive
>>155573450>70 year old Darkwing Duck but without Launchpad for an entire season and a non-Gosalyn spicy Latina duckling OC who destroys his fragile ego with a look Sincerely who the fuck wants this and why did they not can it when everyone trashed it?D23 not even giving it a mention is such a bad sign for confidence in it
>>155573450Why even bother making a new Darkwing Duck show without Jim Cummings?
Can we have Paperinik insteadTopolinoverse is objectively better than the mainline
>>155573450>Seth Rogen as LaunchpadThe moment he dies is the moment I’ll breath a sigh of fresh air
>>155573893D23 never has DTVA stuff anon, that event is only for their movies and parks
>>155573989This is not a DTVA show even if the original was, note how DTVA is not brought up at all. Different company production for D+ with higher budget This is similar to Oswald which was featured at D23
>>155573817I miss Inside Job every day anon...
latina duckfragile ego
>>155573453>Mark Hamill (“Batman: The Animated Series,” “Batman: Arkham Asylum”)Can't think of anything else this guy has been in.
>Mark Hamill as DWThats pretty cool.>literally everything elseYikes
>>155574164Yeah I don’t get why they would highlight his Batman voice roles in relation to voicing the Batman parody character
>>155573924Isn't that a literal Donald ripoff that someone made an OC of like every deviant art entry does with Goku or Sonic?
>>155573450>live actionPass
>>155574681No, thats Donald's superhero identity in some officially licensed Italian comics.
>>155574681>Isn't that a literal Donald ripoffNo that is literally Donald
>>155574681Paperinik/The Duck Avenger is Donald, and he's been around since the 1960s.
>>155573450humiliation ritual
>>155573450>mark hamilloh yea->seth rogen
>>155575176we all know where this show is going now
>>155573604What is funny is Rogen confirmed he is not going to star in any role for his Figment show/film, while he is front and center for every other Disney project he’s involved with
is this related to the leaked pitch doc at all? the recent one from like 2022-2023
>>155573450>jews >faggot weed jewSkippin' it
>>155573688He's calm atm at his IG Stories, it seems that they reached a deal after he revealed the recast. (Likely playing Negaduck)The one with a meltdown is Aaron Sparrow at his Twitter lmao. Someone send him that beanmouth Gummi Bears thing they are doing.
I thought disney had cancelled this whole thing
>>155576001yeah but they need new stuff to cancel for tax writeoff purposes, it's like farming
>>155573450This image is clearly Negaduck
>>155573450How does that fat stoner jew Rogan keep getting roles in everything? Does he have a list of blackmail or something?
>>155573450Wait a minute. This is just Batman Beyond with Darkwing Duck.
>>155573450>>155573453So those leaked pictures from previous years actually show the accuracy of what I assumed. It will be very bad. Although honestly, I didn't even expect it to be better. I was disappointed. They should have released a second season of The Legend of the Three Caballeros, it was the last classic Disney cartoon that had its own charisma.
My first thought about this news: WHY THE FUCK ISN'T IT JIM CUMMINGS AND TERRY MCGOVERN? My second thought about this news: WHY THE FUCK ISN'T IT CHRIS DIAMANTOPOULOS AND BECK BENNETT?Can't wait for Darkwing to sound like the fucking Joker and Launchpad to sound like a fucking retard.
>>155573450DAMN IT!!! I expected this being some kind of sequel from the Ducktales' reboot.
>>155576612He is producing this.
When it comes to voice acting, is Mark Hamill really that much bigger a draw than Jim Cummings? This feels like a weird change. They're both old (Cummings is 73 and Hamill is 74), so "Jim Cummings is getting old and might die mid-series" can't be the reason. I'd get it if they were replacing Cummings with some big Hollywood star, but as it is this feels like dumping Tara Strong from an iconic Tara Strong character just so she can be voiced by Grey DeLisle - Why? What's the point?
>>155574435nah fuck Mark Hamill. he's a cuck
I'm gonna repost all the leaks in the thread since this seems to be the direction they are going.
>>155577593
>>155577609
>>155577644jesus christ this script is way, way too high-concept. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but they're never, ever, ever going to make that.
>>155577654They probably reworked it a bit, this is from a few years ago after all, but I don't think they scrapped the concept entirely if they're still using these characters.
>>155577678>Have an entire season where the second most prominent series character does not even show up until the last 3 minutes of the seasonWho approved this garbage
>>155573450>>155577433What the fuck is this art style?
>>155577190Name recognition
>>155577356based and correct
>>155573450>>155573453There's too many bad things to say about this, so I'll just speak directly to Disney here: Give me the complete and unedited original series to buy and you can play pretend with your soon-to-be-failed reboot in the sandbox all day without me bothering you.
and that's all the leaks for the series so far
>>155577845>Disney I hate you so much please let me give you money and CONSOOOOM RITGHT NOW
>>155577729It's obvious that it got reworked since the official synopsis mentions McQuack.
>>155577820
>>155577926>don't like what they're doing now>would support a release of what I did like>this causes an aneurysm for some reason
>>155577978What the fuck does bulky mean in this context
>>155577784But that's exactly my point. Unless he's playing Luke Skywalker, when he's just doing voice acting... DOES he have name recognition? This isn't the '90s, when people didn't usually know who voiced which cartoons. Nowadays pretty much everyone knows who Jim Cummings is and that he's the voice of Darkwing Duck. Or at least anyone who cares about Darkwing Duck does. Is "Darkwing Duck will no longer sound like Darkwing Duck, he will now sound like the Joker" really that big of a draw? Or a draw at all? And I say this as someone who likes Mark Hamill.
>>155578050bend over. Mark's giving you the bulky.
>>155578054Who the fuck is Jim Cummings? What kind of last name is Cummings lol
>>155577978Worst part is, he totally sells out both autographs and photos at those prices, and the lines are enormous. I'm a little surprised since even when the Sequel Trilogy was actively releasing, he was both way cheaper and had shorter lines.>>155578050Different conventions/agencies break it down differently, but in this case, Bulky is likely anything bigger than an action figure box; so stuff like full sized theater posters, replicas of his helmets from Star Wars. Premium will tend to be like medium sized art prints, funkos, home video cases, and anything smaller.
>>155577458>we'll refer to her as she, but she's somewhat non-binaryFor fuck's sake. She's a tomboy
Rogen will be a terrible Launchpad. Also I thought they'd be replacing Cummings with a younger guy but it's the equally old Hamill.
>>155578223>Who the fuck is Jim Cummings? For one, he's the guy who voiced Winnie the Pooh for the better part of the last 40 years. Tigger, too. Also SHOCKEEEERRRRRRHe also did the VOs for those late '90s promos for Kids' WB that you remember fondly.He's a Frank Welker tier legend, DESU
>>155577458Fuck, this sounds horrible
>>155573450>Here's another IP we are going to ruinThanks Disney
>>155573450What happen to Francisco Angones anyways? He banished from the industry after DT17 ended with his last work being Kid Cosmic episodes.I only know Ken Plume directly told DT17 fans to not ask questions on Rogen's DWD reboot when they where promoting the artbook as it was a hard subject for Frank and Youngberg.
>>155578351This is what pisses me off. I can imagine replacing Cummings (who to be fair is getting up there in age even tho he can still do the Darkwing voice) with an up coming actor to give them a shot and make the character their own and not pander to nostalgia too hard, hell they replaced everyone else already, but getting Mark Hamill makes me wonder why the fuck they even bothered.
>>155576612nepotism
>>155578551Hiding in shame from the Gosalyn tweet
>>155573450>a rebellious teen named DuckieOh my god they're really doing that
Jesus Christ. Just bring back Chris Diamantopoulos, Beck Bennett, Stephanie Beatriz, and Cummings and do a movie or mini-series resolving the Negaduck cliffhanger from DuckTales. What the hell is all... this?
>>155573450Everything about this pitch is total shit.OG Gosalyn is just gone for good and never even mentioned to be replaced with this Duckie Appleyard character. Alternate Universe Gosalyn isn't even Gosalyn, she has a totally different past and a totally different personality. She just has the same name. And she's barely in it. Launchpad isn't in it. Morgana marries Negaduck because sure why not.None of the other bad guys or good guys or any of the other og cast are in it because fuck you. All thats left is some sort of fuck the patriarchy thing about how much men such as Duckie destroys your ego. But Darkwing was always sad and a loser so we didn't even need all of that. And it has a downer ending where his family is gone food good and he's worse off than ever and it's a generic as fuck multiverse plot
It would be a bit funny seeing Jim blow up at Mark Hamill seeing as they're essentially voice acting buddies
>>155579292This I don't really care if they wanted to do the changes in the original script it is its own thing.
Now I recall the Joker saying "Let's get dangerous!" in MultiVersus and me thinking "Why does the Joker have a Darkwing Duck line in his dialogue? It's not even the same voice actor..."
>>155579455Them ruining Drake and Gosalyn's relationship is a red line for me. It's genuinely one of the sweetest father and daughter relationship in cartoons and they're tossing it away so DW can mentor some OC instead? No way, fuck you Disney.
>>155575511Will Rogen be involved with it too? >>155578551The reason it got scrapped according to Youngberg was beacuse Disney wasn't interested in making their DAEU (Disney Afternoon Universe)
>>155580813For a while, before Disney started actually leaning into it with the comic books and his return in the DuckTales reboot, Darkwing Duck was popular enough that Disney was apparently annoyed by it, wishing fans of it would let it go.
>>155573450>Sean Tretta (“Star Trek: Picard”)>Seth Rogen, Evan GoldbergWill the industry ever figure out that the problem is not the IPs but the people they put behind them?
