A Darkwing Duck reboot is rumored to be in the works for Disney+, so grab your sidekicks it may be time to get dangerous, again!
Variety has gotten some info on a new Darkwing Duck reboot that is currently in very early development. It is supposedly going to be directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, both of which recently directed The Boys on Amazon Prime and were met with success.
Let’s Get Dangerous: Darkwing Duck Reboot for Disney+
The Original aired in 1991 and 1992 for 3 seasons and a total of 91 episodes. Which even to today’s standards, is a relatively successful release. Definitely, nothing to scoff at.

The series followed the titular duck superhero, who lived an ordinary suburban life under the secret identity of Drake Mallard. He is assisted in his crime fighting by his sidekick and pilot Launchpad McQuack. He is also sometimes assisted by his adopted daughter, Gosalyn.

The show had connections to fellow Disney animated series “DuckTales,” with Launchpad appearing in both the original “DuckTales” and the recent reboot. Most recently, Darkwing and Gosalyn appeared in the rebooted show as well.
That’s pretty much all we know right now. Again, we know that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are rumored to be directing it, and that it is in very early production currently. So don’t expect to hear too much about it for a little while yet.
