Let’s get dangerous — again. Disney’s Darkwing Duck revival just got its biggest update yet, and Seth Rogen is teasing a casting choice he says might be the most exciting one he could ever imagine.

Rogen, who is producing the Disney+ revival through his Point Grey Pictures, revealed on Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast that Scrooge McDuck has officially been cast for the new series — but he’s not saying who got the part. “We just cast a Scrooge McDuck who might be the most exciting casting I could ever imagine,” Rogen said. “I’ll tell you after. But it’s incredible.” The news was reported by ComicBook.

That is a hell of a tease, because Scrooge wasn’t even announced as part of the show before this. And if you’re wondering whether David Tennant — who voiced Scrooge in the 2017 DuckTales reboot — is coming back, the answer looks like no: none of the original voice actors are returning for this one.

Here’s what we do know about the cast. Mark Hamill — yes, Luke Skywalker himself — is voicing Drake Mallard, a.k.a. Darkwing Duck. Rogen is voicing Launchpad McQuack. The rest of the announced cast includes Lizzy Caplan as Gosalyn Mallard, Lilimar as Duckie, Dan Stevens, Tiffany Shepis, Kathryn Newton, Teo Briones, Tyler Dean Flores, Katie Rich and Nat Faxon.

Disney+ officially ordered the series on September 22, and the logline is a whole new chapter: “For the last 35 years, Darkwing Duck has been trapped in his worst nightmare: an alternate world that’s never heard of his superhero exploits. Now a rebellious teen named Duckie who knows all about his heroic past shows up to pull this ego-fueled vigilante back into battle.” Old enemies Negaduck and Megavolt are back, along with allies Launchpad, Gosalyn and Morgana — and everything points to this version being darker than the ’90s original.

Rogen says he’s been watching the episodes come together and the animation is “beautiful and really inventive.” He also name-dropped Flight of the Navigator and Gargoyles as other retro Disney properties he’d love to bring back someday — so if this one lands, St. Canard might just be the start.

No release date has been announced yet. But for every millennial who grew up on the Disney Afternoon, this one just went straight to the top of the watchlist. The terror that flaps in the night is coming back — and now there’s a mystery billionaire duck to guess about, too.
