Emilio Estevez will reprise his role as Gordon Bombay nearly 20 years after first appearing in 1992’s The Mighty Ducks.
The Mighty Ducks series is co-created and will be executive produced by Josh Goldsmith, Cathy Yuspa, and the original film’s writer Steve Brill with Goldsmith and Yuspa serving as showrunners.
It starred Emilio Estevez (The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo’s Fire) as Gordon Bombay, a successful attorney who later became the coach of a local youth hockey team after he was sentenced to community service as a punishment for drunk driving.
During the streaming platform’s section of the Disney Investor Day presentation, Disney+ unveiled the first teaser of The Mighty Ducks series reboot, subtitled Game Changers, which is slated to premiere sometime in 2021.
