Emilio Esteves revealed why he turned down so many reboot efforts until Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. The Disney+ series is out in the wild and a lot of fans got a kick out of seeing Gordon Bombay back in the fold. The beloved actor talked to Entertainment Weekly about the long road back to the rink. In the conversation, it’s revealed that Game Changers was only the latest iteration of a reboot effort. Steven Bril kept trying to appeal to Estevez, but to no avail. But, when the script was up to snuff, the actor decided to give it a shot. The darkness of Bombay as a bit of a loaner and outcast helped seal the deal. However, it’s not all doom and gloom for the former Ducks coach. There’s an entirely new generation of players that are going to need this sage gems of wisdom one way or another. It also doesn’t hurt that fans have been clamoring for a revival of some kind for years now.
