Lauren Graham subs in for Emilio Estevez in Mighty Ducks season two trailer
Call ’em the Bash Brothers if you must, but Josh Duhamel and Lauren Graham are your new Emilio Estevez
Something about the Emilio-free trailer for Mighty Ducks: Game Changers’ second season calls to mind a bit of dialogue from the American comedy classic A Night At The Roxbury. Attempting to impress a young woman, Doug Butabi (Will Ferrell) tells of a chance encounter at a payphone when a mysterious man on the phone “turns around and tips his hat.” Who was it? Why it was none other than Emilio Estevez, the Mighty Duck man himself.
Scream “Emilio!” all you want, but it’s not going to change the fact that he’s gone from the Mighty Ducks universe and is not in the trailer for the new season. Last year, either due to his refusal to comply with vaccination requirements on set or “old-fashioned contract disputes” and “a myriad of creative differences,” Estevez opted not to return. So be it. It’s knuckle puck time, right?
