Disney Plus Live Action Gargoyles Reboot Cancelled
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
The live-action Gargoyles reboot for Disney Plus is officially dead, as confirmed by series creator Greg Weisman, though the original nineties animated show remains available to stream.
The live action adaptation of the beloved nineties animated series Gargoyles is officially no longer moving forward at Disney Plus. Series creator Greg Weisman recently confirmed in an interview with ComicsOnline that the project, which was being developed alongside James Wan's production company Atomic Monster, is completely dead on the live action front.
First announced back in 2023 with Gary Dauberman attached as writer and showrunner, the planned reboot aimed to bring the dark urban fantasy of the original show into live action. While the cancellation is a disappointing blow for fans hoping to see Goliath and the clan on screen with modern production values, the original nineties animated series remains available to stream in its entirety on Disney Plus for anyone looking for a dose of nostalgia.
For digital collectors and gaming fans who appreciate deep fantasy lore and enduring pop culture crossovers, the loss of this adaptation stings. Gargoyles carved out a unique space in animation history with complex serialized storytelling that still resonates with players and creators today, proving that quality worldbuilding outlasts fleeting platform trends.
