When the DuckTales cast records its lines, Lin-Manuel Miranda will be in the room where it happens. The Hamilton creator/ex-star is lending his voice to the Disney XD toon series reboot that premieres this year.

The Tony- and Pulitzer-winning playwright-composer-actor will recur as fan-favorite character Gizmoduck, a Duckburg hero whose true identity is Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera. He’s a brilliant young intern working for Gyro Gearloose, the personal mad scientist of Scrooge McDuck (David Tennant). The series already has been renewed for a second season ahead of its summer launch.

[Santiako]

What an amazing cast.

 

[Platy]

Ducktales is proving to be a worth fight with American Gods to "best casting ever"


Also ... YAAAAAAAAAAAY Gizmoduck ! =D
One of my favorites from the old cartoon !

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I just looked up this character and saw they were originally voiced by an actor name Hamilton Camp.

What are the odds.

 

[Octavianus]

Man, I love the artstyle they're using with this show.

 

[meltingparappa]

Might as well include the art

 

[Quonny]

Everything about this reboot looks so good.

 

[muteki]

That's a modern Gizmo alright.

 

[thecouncil]

when does this show even premiere?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Gizmoduck was always my favorite in the old show. And I love Lin. And that new design is dope. Everything about this is so good.

 

[bjork]

Gizmoduck is tied with Bubba for worst character in DuckTales, but maybe his voice work will make me like GD better.

 

[jon bones]

wowwww

[Kevinroc]

Currently Q2/Q3 of 2017. A specific date for the premiere will come later.

[Skellig Gra]

[BoogieWoogie]

God damn this cast is nuts.

 

[KingDirk]

75% certain they fan cast this on MBMBAM.

(I pray to the gods that Gizmoduck has a GREATJOB horn)

 

[Prof. Bathtub]

What a turbonerd.

Looks good. They're really trying to bring in every popular element of all the Duck continuities. In fact

Spoiler

according to Tad Stones, there is at least one Darkwing Duck episode; but I don't know if they'll get Jim Cummings, or a new VA like the rest of the cast (sans Donald.)

 

[Octavianus]

I really hope Darkwing Duck is in this is some way. He was always my favourite.. even had the best NES game.
