The Mighty Ducks Cast in 2018: What are they doing now?
Believe it or not, it’s the bitter truth! Hollywood doesn’t pay as much attention to ice hockey as other sports. So, when Disney picked up a movie about a defeated lawyer taking over an outcast local hockey team, it was no surprise people were intrigued to see how it would turn out. Released in the 90s, the live-action film series, The Mighty Ducks took viewers by surprise.
With the storyline that revolved around Gordon Bombay (played by Emilio Estevez) creating a championship-winning peewee hockey team, the movie took the box office by storm. The success of the film trilogy led to the formation of a Stanley Cup-winning NHL team in Anaheim, Southern California, now known as The Anaheim Ducks and an animated series, Mighty Ducks.
Released a quarter-century ago, the show has earned a huge dedicated fanbase. So, how excited will you be to see a TV show about the trilogy on your screens? Recent reports suggest a small screen adaptation of the film series is in the works. It sounds like a big threat to all the fans, huh! Keeping that aside, for now, let’s meet the cast of the movie series and find out what they have been up to these days.
