A Darkwing Duck reboot is in early development and will be headed to Disney Plus.

Darkwing Duck originally premiered in 1991, telling the story of Drake Mallard, his adopted daughter Gosalyn, and his sidekick Launchpad McQuack, who was also in DuckTales. It ran for three seasons encompassing 91 episodes

The series riffed on superhero culture as Darkwing Duck and company routinely fought against evildoers. The series ended in 1992, with a number of comics published throughout the 1990s and 2010s, a Darkwing Duck NES game, and a cameo in the 2017 DuckTales reboot, which you can watch above.

There’s currently no word on who will voice Darkwing Duck or other series characters. Jim Cummings (Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Star Wars’ Hondo Ohnaka) originally voiced Darkwing Duck.

Disney Plus is rolling ahead with other continuations of cult favorite franchises, including an announced Willow sequel starring Warwick Davis.

A live-action reboot of 2002's Lilo & Stitch was announced earlier this year and it seems Disney is circling John M. Chu to direct, According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Crazy Rich Asians director is in negotiations with Disney to direct a live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch for the company, but it's unclear if this movie would go to theaters or straight to Disney+. We learned earlier this year that this Lilo & Stitch will be a live-action/CGI hybrid movie and filmed in Hawaii, which is also where the movie takes place. It was reported at the time that the original voice of Stitch, Chris Sanders, was expected to reprise the role for this film. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-upcoming-disney-live-action-remake&captions=true"] THR's report says that Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of production company Rideback are going to produce the movie with Rideback's Ryan Halprin set to executive produce. Rideback is the company behind Disney's live-action Aladdin remake, which earned over $1 billion at the box office in 2019 and secured a green light for a sequel. Mike Van Waes has written a draft for this Lilo & Stitch remake, but it's important to note that the movie hasn't officially been given the green light and is still in development. Lilo & Stitch is about a lonely girl named Lilo who discovers a blue alien named Stitch on the run from intergalactic forces. The two become friends and Lilo tries to stop the intergalactic forces from ripping Stitch out of her Ohana, which means family. Oh, and there's a lot of Elvis Presley music too. When the original animated movie released in 2002, it grossed $273 million at the box office from a budget of $80 million. This success led to video games, sequels, spin-offs, and an animated TV series for Disney Channel.

A Marvel Studios executive producer has confirmed that Disney will not use a digital double of late actor Chadwick Boseman in a Black Panther sequel.

In an interview with Clarin, executive producer Victoria Alonso dismissed the idea of digitally recreating Boseman, who died from colon cancer in August at the age of 43.

“No. There's only one Chadwick, and he's not with us. Our king, unfortunately, has died in real life, not just in fiction, and we are taking a little time to see how we return to history and what we do to honor this chapter of what has happened to us that was so unexpected, so painful, so terrible, really," Alonso said.

Alonso, who has been with Marvel Studios since Phase One of the MCU, said of Boseman that he "was not only a wonder of being human every day that we spend together the five years that we spend together, but it also seems to me that as a character what he did elevated us as a company, and has left his moment in history."

Alonso added that no decision has been made yet about what Marvel will do with the Black Panther franchise now: "I know that sometimes two months go by or three months go by in production and one says, already, it was a long time. But it is not a long time, we have to think carefully about what we are going to do, and how, and think about how we are going to honor the franchise.”

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=how-the-mcus-phase-4-could-introduce-the-x-men&captions=true"]

Using digital effects to recreate Boseman's T'Challa certainly isn’t out of the realm of possibility, considering Disney utilized CGI to portray deceased actors like Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin) in Rogue One and a younger version of Carrie Fisher in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Rogue One.

Disney may be even more hesitant to use a CGI double since various Black Panther actors have expressed their dismay over how to continue the franchise without Boseman.

"We're just still mourning Chad, so it's not something I even want to think about," Wright said when asked about reprising her role as Shuri, Princess of Wakanda, for the Black Panther sequel. "The thought of doing it without him is kinda strange. We're just grieving at the moment, so it's trying to find the light in the midst of it."

Black Panther 2 was originally scheduled to be released in 2022, though, with complications stemming from COVID, Disney’s schedule is likely to be altered in the future.
