Late screen legend Paul Newman’s name appears as Doc Hudson on a cast listing for Disney/Pixar’s upcoming sequel Cars 3.
It appears that Lightning McQueen’s story this time around will parallel that of Doc Hudson (aka The Hudson Hornet) which will possibly lead to the re-introduction of the character 11 years after he appeared in the first Cars movie.
Also validating the likelihood that Doc Hudson will be appearing in Cars 3 are the cast credits on IMDb, which also lists Newman’s name as the classic character.
No matter how much Doc Hudson is featured in Cars 3, the inclusion of Newman will no doubt serve as an emotional trip down memory lane.
