Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Bill Fagerbakke (SpongeBob SquarePants) have also reacted to the news of the upcoming series.

“Well, I’m hoping for an invitation,” Keith David tells Nerd Reactor. “Because I would love to be there.”

“I would love to play Xanatos,” Frakes said about returning as the main antagonist in the live-action series.

Bill Fagerbakke voiced Broadway, the lovable Gargoyle, and he said, “I would obviously love to be involved.”

SpongeBob SquarePants voice actor Tom Kenny is a fan. “I think Gargoyles was ahead of its time,” said the actor.

There has been no official announcement for the voice cast, but with the original voice actors expressing their love of the franchise, it would be a crime to ignore them. With supernatural creatures like Goliath and Broadway, it’s safe to assume that David and Bill would easily fill in those shoes as the voice. For a live-action Xanatos, Frakes thinks he may be too old to portray the character. Even if that’s the case, the actor being in the series in some capacity would be exciting.

One of the latest updates on the Disney+ Gargoyles series came from Dauberman, who gave an interview to ComicBook.com. The live-action series “will be challenging,” however, the writer/executive producer and showrunner said that he is “talking to some great people. We are still keeping that darkness to it. I’m excited to see the animated [series] come to life.”

Keith David, whose credits include Gargoyles, The Princess and the Frog, and Halo, portrays Henry H. Garnet, an important historical figure in the fight to abolish slavery. Garnet was the first African American to speak in the U.S. House of Representatives chamber.

David, as Garnet, delivers a powerful speech about the importance of learning to read and write during a time when it was illegal for enslaved African Americans to do so.

“It was a lot of words, so I had to work on it a lot,” David tells Nerd Reactor. “But really trying to understand in telling the story, what was I trying to communicate? And to hopefully sculpt it so that I could get them to understand overall what I was saying.”

One of the powerful lines from Garnet was, “With wisdom comes the understanding that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.”

“Before you cast judgments or aspersions on the person next to you, ask yourself, if the roles were reversed, how would you like to be treated?” David said about what the line meant to him. “How would you like to be approached in this situation? And do you have the balls to treat that other person with the same dignity? With the same love and respect as you would hope someone would give to you. Yeah, that’s just empathy.”

All eight episodes of the limited series are now available on Prime Video.
