Jim Cummings, the original voice of Darkwing Duck, says Disney’s long-planned reboot is moving ahead but will recast both Darkwing and Launchpad McQuack. His comments provide the clearest recent indication that the project remains active, while also suggesting the revival will not retain its principal original performers.

The animated series debuted in 1991 and ran for three seasons and 91 episodes, following Drake Mallard’s gadget-led superhero alter ego. A reboot was announced in 2020 with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg attached, but little has been publicly confirmed since; Cummings said he recorded a pilot several years ago, though his future involvement remains unclear.
