DON CHEADLE GUEST STARS AS DONALD DUCK IN THE EPIC ONE-HOUR SEASON FINALE OF DISNEY'S 'DUCKTALES,'
SATURDAY, AUG. 18, ON DISNEY CHANNEL AND DISNEYNOW
Academy Award(R)-nominated actor Don Cheadle ("Avengers: Infinity War," "House of Lies") will guest star as Donald Duck's intelligible voice, as a result of an inventive voicebox, in the epic one-hour season finale of Disney's hit series "DuckTales," SATURDAY, AUG. 18 (9:30-10:30 a.m. EDT), on Disney Channel, DisneyNOW and Disney Channel VOD. The star-studded season one finale will also feature Lin Manuel-Miranda (Broadway's "Hamilton," Disney's "Moana"), Catherine Tate ("Doctor Who") and Kimiko Glenn ("Orange Is the New Black"), who reprise their roles as Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera (aka Gizmoduck), Magica De Spell and Lena, respectively. In the episode titled "The Shadow War!," Magica De Spell is close to exacting revenge on Scrooge, so the family races against time to plan a dangerous rescue mission to save Scrooge and the city.
Cheadle said, "It's an awesome opportunity because there are only so many roles that you look forward to playing as an actor. You've got to do your homework and bring your a-game when you're trying to voice Donald Duck."
