【I Am a Plaything】
Lin-Manuel Miranda is I Am a Playthingrelocating to Duckburg, because apparently the DuckTales reboot wasn't awesome enough already.
Disney announced that the Hamiltonmulti-hyphenate will lend his voice to the fan-favorite role of Gizmoduck, whose secret identity was accountant Fenton Crackshell in the original series.
Miranda's character is getting an update to offer a more inclusive portrayal in the reboot — he's now called Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera as a nod to his Latino heritage, and will appear as a brilliant young intern working for Scrooge McDuck's personal mad scientist, Gyro Gearloose.
Executive producer Matt Youngberg said of the casting: "Lin came to mind instantly for the role of Gizmoduck. His rapid-fire earnestness paired with his wide-eyed yet determined optimism made him the perfect person to yell 'BLATHERING BLATHERSKITE!'"
Co-producer and story editor Francisco Angones added, "Growing up as a Cuban-American comics enthusiast, I was always hungry for a Latino hero to call my own. In developing the new series, Matt and I leapt at the opportunity to adapt DuckTales' marquee hero into a young scientist character with Latin-inspired roots."
