The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers is getting ready to film its second season on Disney+. However, they are going to be missing a familiar face. That is because Emilio Estevez is not returning to the franchise.
According to Deadline, he refused to show the studio if he got the COVID-19 vaccine. Since Disney Television Studios made it mandatory for all actors and anyone who has direct contact with them to be vaccinated, he needs to show proof of that. Since he won’t do that, he won’t be back for season two.
However, sources close to the actor told the site it was over creative differences.
Either way, he was put in the penalty box and won’t be back in the game.
Hopefully, he will be replaced in the series by someone from the first three movies like Scott Whyte. He would be so good as the coach.
Seriously, more people in America have gotten the vaccine than haven’t. It is safe. So get it. Stop being selfish assholes. Thanks to vaccines, we got rid of Polio and Small Pox. Let’s add COVID-19 to that list.
The Muppets are coming to Disney+ this fall with an all-new special for Halloween called The Muppets Haunted Mansion.
Our favorite furry friends will be joined by celebrity guests (I am rooting for Baby Yoda to join in on the fun) as “Gonzo is challenged to spend one very daring night in the most grim grinning place on Earth.”
The special will also include new music and spooktacular fun. I hope this is the first of many holiday specials we get from The Muppets on the streaming service.
Next year, Mighty Ducks turns 30. This year, it is getting a sequel series on Disney+ starring the original coach Emilio Estevez.
Mighty Ducks: Game Changers debuts on March 26th, and I think it will bring the franchise to a whole new generation of fans.
While I was not much into the movies, it looks this series will capture the feel of the franchise. I hope they can recapture what they had back in the ’90s.
Are you excited about it, or do you want to put it in the penalty box?
Back in 1978, Star Wars got its own holiday special. It was so horrendous that people tried to bury it with E.T.: The Extra Terresterial Atari game. Therefore, you would think they would never attempt another one again.
Well, Disney+ says how much worse can 2020 get. Therefore, they are teaming up with Lego to do a Christmas special with Star Wars’ most loved characters.
Set after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey leaves her friends to prepare for Life Day as she embarks on a new adventure with BB-8 to gain a deeper knowledge of the Force. At a mysterious Jedi temple, Rey finds herself hurled into a cross-timeline adventure through beloved moments in Star Wars cinematic history, coming into contact with Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and other iconic heroes and villains from all nine Skywalker saga films. But will she make it back in time for the Life Day feast and learn the true meaning of holiday spirit? You’ll have to watch to find out!
The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special will debut on November 17th.
On a positive note, Bea Arthur will not be part of this special. Maybe they can get Brad Garrett to play her part.
