It wasn’t too long ago that we were breaking the news about David Tennant taking the role of Fugitoid in Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As many fans will attest, he definitely brought his A game to the studio when recording lines for Professor Honeycutt. With a total of 15 episodes to his name, Tennant wasn’t just a guest voice actor; his role was important and his performance was excellent. With that in mind, it probably shouldn’t come as too big of a shock that he was recently handed the title role in a reboot of Disney’s Ducktales!

As the years have gone by, his work as a voice actor has become far more pronounced. Although he will be missed in the role of the Fugitoid, something tells me that even fans of the TMNT will be happy to see him taking on such an iconic character. If you were a fan of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, chances are that you also watched a fair bit of the original Ducktales series. If they can bring back the turtles in fine fashion, what’s to stop them from making a decent reboot of Ducktales?
Here’s hoping that David Tennant proves to be an excellent choice for the role of Scrooge McDuck. It was nice to see him become such an important part of Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and it’ll be just as fun to see him lead one of the most anticipated reboots of all time in 2017!
