Emilio Estevez turned down quite a few projects that had hoped to revive The Mighty Ducks franchise.

The 58-year-old actor is now revealing why he finally said yes to return as Gordon Bombay in Disney+’s The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. “Over the years, there have been a lot of reunions, whether it was through the Anaheim Ducks or various charities.

Famously, I have rejected all of those, whether it’s a reunion for Breakfast Club or The Outsiders or St. Elmo’s Fire or Young Guns, all of them,” he recalled in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Fortunately I’ve been able to have starred in movies that have stood the test of time and have a long shelf life, so a lot of folks have wanted to see reunions of where are they now.
