Gargoyles creator Greg Weisman has revealed that the live-action adaptation of the '90s cartoon series is no longer moving forward. The show had been planned as a Disney+ release, with James Wan's production company, Atomic Monster, leading the project.
"Well, I know the live-action side of it is, uh, the Atomic Monster had the license to develop a live-action Gargoyles for Disney+, and that’s dead," he told ComicsOnline. "I have no idea about animation, but there are no current plans for live-action."
The show first aired in 1994 and centered on a bunch of (you guessed it) Gargoyles, who turn to stone in daylight hours and find themselves in a modern-day New York City, becoming its defenders. The iconic Keith David played the leader of the petrifying pack, Goliath, and his clone, Thailog.
The live-action reboot was announced in 2023 with Annabelle and The Nun writer Gary Dauberman as showrunner, writer, and executive producer. Last year, Dauberman told Collider that the original cartoon "lends itself to a really cool live-action version," and said his take would be "still keeping that darkness to it."
If the news is hard to hear, you can still stream all three seasons of the original Gargoyles animated version on Disney+. In a 2021 IGN retrospective, our writer argued the show "helped to redefine cartoon villainy in the ’90s."
