A reboot of the early '90s animated series Darkwing Duck is reportedly in early development at Disney Plus.

As Variety reports, the reboot doesn't currently have a writer attached, and other details about cast and crew are seemingly being kept under wraps. That said, longtime collaborators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are reportedly teaming up with James Weaver and Alex McAtee to tackle the Darkwing Duck reboot as executive producers under their Point Grey Pictures production banner.

Disney Plus is proving a big success with moviegoers hesitant to actually go to the movies amidst the global health crisis, as films like Artemis Fowl and Mulan have skipped theaters for straight-to-streaming debuts on Disney Plus. Our Disney Plus review calls it "our childhood bundled up for comfort-watching," noting that "it needs a broader range of original programs and is lacking key content due to a family-friendly image."

If you're itching to watch something new, you still have time to get two months of Disney Plus with any in-game Fortnite purchase.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
