Are you a DuckTales fan?
(Old or new series, but for this case, let’s say “new.”)
Are you a Lin-Manuel Miranda fan?
(As if 99% of respondents aren’t going to say “Yes.”)
Well, in the best of all possible “You got your chocolate in my peanut butter; you got your peanut butter on my chocolate” worlds: Lin-Manuel Miranda makes his DuckTales debut next month, as Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera – an updated version of the original series’ Fenton Crackshell – whom astute fans might better recognize by his nom de guerre: Gizmoduck!
Gizmoduck!

And it’s not as if this wasn’t teased months ago. At the end of the episode “The Great Dime Chase,” viewers see Gyro Gearloose looking through his notebook, at a list of projects. The last one on that list is “Project: Blatherskite.” Viewers of the original DuckTales series will recall that Fenton Crackshell activated his Gizmoduck armor by saying “Blathering’ Blatherskite!”
So, tune in May 11th and watch Gizmoduck’s – and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s – introduction to the series!
