DuckTales Disney XD
The reboot of the classic 90s series DuckTales will premiere on Disney XD next year Disney XD

Scrooge McDuck and his mischievous grandnephews Huey, Dewey and Louie are returning to the small screen. A poster released by Disney XD has offered a first look at the popular cartoon characters along with the iconic Donald Duck.

Uncle Scrooge's grandnephews have got a facelift for the reboot, however, their mischievous and ever-adventurous eyes remain the same. The poster also gives a glimpse of Donald Duck and Mrs. Bentina Beakley's sweet granddaughter Webby.

The first look of Uncle Scrooge and many other important characters are yet to be revealed by the network and it appears fans need to wait for the DuckTales panel to appear at SDCC for more scoops and pictures, and possibly a teaser for the highly anticipated revival series.
