Overview
- Gargoyles creator Greg Weisman told Comics Online via Comicbook.com that the live-action series developed under Atomic Monster’s license for Disney+ is dead and that there are no current live-action plans.
- Atomic Monster previously held the rights to develop the live-action show, a development role that the creator says has now ended without a studio announcement confirming the change.
- Actor Brent Spiner has said he was told an animated Gargoyles reboot has been discussed, which leaves the animated option unresolved but not ruled out.
- Reporters link this cancellation to a wider pullback at Disney+ that included recent stoppages or delays on projects such as Power Rangers and Wonder Man season two and reports of held-back Marvel and Star Wars releases.
- Industry context may favor animation because recent revivals such as X‑Men ’97 and new Spider-Man animated work have found success, but reporting notes these updates come from creators and actors rather than an official Disney release.
