It seems the Ducks are ready to fly together once again.
More than two decades after the third instalment of the popular Mighty Ducks franchise — the name of which inspired that of Anaheim’s NHL franchise in the early ’90s — Disney has announced a new turn for Gordon Bombay and Co. with a new series titled ‘The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers.’
Disney announced the project Thursday during its Disney Investor Day 2020. Emilio Estevez will return as coach Bombay, while Lauren Graham — of Gilmore Girls fame — joins the franchise for the new series as well.




Looks like the Ducks change spots from underdogs to the big team with the winning pedigree.

I assumed this would be animated. Kind of weird to imagine Coach Bombay at 60.

Emilio Estevez doesn't seem to age.

Not really.

He probably started his own line of coaching shoes for kids and all by now.

Emilio Estevez doesn't seem to age.

True, he has looked basically the same since he was like 16.

 

[beowulf]

Ya I guess he is one of those people who either does not age or has a really good cosmetic surgeon

what are the odds we’ll get a “f*** you, Shoresy!” from this movie?

 

[beowulf]

So ya basically the Ducks are now what the Hawks were in the first movie and a new group of misfits will fight to beat them. Pretty much what I expected.

Probably good aging and healthy lifestyle. And just general TV makeup. Cosmetic surgery can be common if you have the money but it really starts to tell as the person gets older.

The “Air Bombay” loafer!!!!

“For kids who want to coach....”

 

[Voight]

I don't have super high expectations for the series, but I definitely have to re-watch the movies. Been a VERY long time

Is Iceland going to be the top tier team to beat again?

Looks like it's school level.

Too bad Lane Smith is no longer around...

Coach Riley coaching these (now juggernaut) Ducks would have been neat.

They can send their grade school kids over!

Should have been about Banks, Joshua Jackson, Averman, Julie the Cat, Fulton etc playing either AHL or making a beer league team.

Now I want them to do a show about them as a beer league team. Probably not from Disney though so it could be more vulgar.

“The Jess-Man!! Dissin’ the new dude!! The Jesster!!”

“Shut the f*** up Averman!!!”

Filmed in Vancouver.

From some people that worked on it; they tried to stick to original vibe without making it throw-backs for days.

Mighty Ducks, but like Cobra Kai.

It's 20 years in the future. Coach Bombay is dead. Everyone's lives suck. Charlie Conway holds onto little what he has left of a miserable life; Zamboni driving at his local arena.

Until the local guys playing their beer league game and are down a man.

What about Goldberg?

Oh gees. I just googled him. Yikes.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Wonder if we’ll get an “Oreo Line” nowadays

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

What about Goldberg?

Oh gees. I just googled him. Yikes.

They’ll probably find him selling signed Team USA photos of himself outside the arena

Legendary collar pop.
