Jackson Prepares For Fatherhood; Mighty Ducks Reboot
By Michael Walters
Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith are expecting a new addition to their family soon. The couple was seen walking around downtown Los Angeles recently. Jodie was wearing a Mighty Ducks of Anaheim jersey from the original movies.
Ducks fans will remember that Joshua played Charlie Conway in the movie series from the 1990s. Conway’s character was known for being the leader, heart, and soul of the team. He wasn’t the fastest, skilled, or strongest player, but Charlie was loyal to the team and Coach Gordon Bombay. His character possessed the strongest leadership qualities among his teammates.

Joshua recently appeared on the show Good Morning America via video since he is self-isolating at home. He explained that he has been keeping busy by playing board games with Jodie.
He said: “We’re just trying to figure out on a moment to moment basis how to get through this with our sanity. We’re in the board game stage now. We did a lot, a lot, a lot of binge watching last week, so now … we’ve moved our way through Monopoly. Now it’s actually Jenga. Jenga’s the thing! Jenga’s great.”
Mighty Ducks Reboot
The Mighty Ducks popular ’90s movie trilogy is returning for a 10-episode series on Disney+. Emilio Estevez will reprise his role as Coach Gordon Bombay.
“Once a Duck, always a Duck!, and after 25 years, I am delighted to lace up my skates, put on Coach Bombay’s jacket and return to play the iconic character for this new chapter in The Mighty Ducks franchise,” Estevez said in a statement.
The TV series takes place years later, where the Mighty Ducks have turned into a Minnesota powerhouse after years of being the underdog. A 12-year-old character is cut from the Mighty Ducks hockey team in the new series. The result is the formation of a new team, coached by Gordon. Ultimately, the underdog theme is renewed from the original Mighty Ducks movies.
A release date for the series has yet to be announced.
