Actor Emilio Estevez has been the driving force behind the unlikely success of the “Mighty Ducks” franchise. He has been in three movies and a season of the new Disney+ show, but he won’t be back for season two.
Did he ask for too much money, get involved in some sort of scandal, or accept an offer to finally make “Young Guns III”? Nope. The popular actor got canned by Disney for not getting jabbed.
According to Nellie Andreeva at Deadline:
I hear Disney Television Studios’ ABC Signature, which produces the hockey-themed sequel series, made the decision not to pick up Estevez’s option for Season 2 after weeks of back and forth with his team over the show’s Covid vaccination requirement. Reps for the studio and Estevez declined comment.
Heading into Season 2, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers — like many Disney TV Studios series — has adopted a mandatory vaccination policy for the cast and crew in Zone A, which was included as an option in the most recent Return-to-Work agreement between the Hollywood studios and major unions. (Zone A includes all actors and crew members who come into direct contact with them.)
According to sources, Estevez, through his reps, has declined to provide assurances that he would comply with the policy. With the two sides at an impasse as the Season 2 scripts were being written and the planned early 2022 start of production was looming, I hear the studio made the call to not exercise the actor’s option and the scripts will be adjusted to continue the story without the character.
Hollywood in general and Disney in particular have plunged eagerly and aggressively into the vaccine mandates being imposed across the nation. They are willing participants in Pandemic Panic Theater with most outspoken movie and television stars doing their part to jab-shame their fans into getting injected.
This goes to show that nobody is safe from the mandates. Any company as woke and obedient to Democrats as Disney will drop the unvaxxed in a heartbeat. Medical tyranny doesn’t care about science, just control.
Vaccine Mandate Ping List
They will likely say that he died a horrible death from covid.
OK, I’ll try to answer that headline (no reading).
I can? Is there something about Estevez I should know to be able to? Otherwise, I’d have to guess, because he wasn’t liberal enough?
Died of Covid from vaxx rejection...
Your ping must be very very busy.
Could you add me?
Unlike Charlie, Emilio is a pretty decent guy.
If so, that’s probably why we hardly hear anything about him, vs his bro and father.
Emilio’s movies are so good. He WAS Billy the Kid in Young Guns. And my daughter and I enjoyed the new mighty ducks series. It combined the old and new and had heart. And now I won’t watch. If true then God Bless Emilio for sticking to his young guns! Democrats ruin everything.
My first thought was that he came out as straight.
My first thought was that he came out as straight.
“He got married to someone named Rona Covid and moved away...”
Now if Ashton Kucher has a little brother they would be in business.
Have not seen him in a movie in a long time.
He was in a lot of movies in the 1980s.
Sure will!
I’m not sure if Disney can make this stick. There is no proof, nor is it advertised as such, that the vaccines kill the virus, there is no proof that a person won’t get it, thus not spread it, if they take the vaccines, there is surfacing proof that the vaccine, in what it is designed to do, will constitute that the patient won’t get ill again so the vaccine by their own admittance has a shelf life and requires a booster to continue to make you less sick.
So requiring a person to take the vaccine when it is questionable as to the possibility of injury from the vaccine, with recognized instances and determinations by some medical professionals, that it can be life threatening anywhere in the sequence of the shots, then it is asking someone to flip a coin with their lives to accomplish something the shots can’t do.
Disney can not legally use this as an excuse to terminate employment at their whim. If this is challenged in court for this purpose, the employing organization has no proof of success with the product and can’t use this as grounds for termination. They’re doing what the Biden administration is doing...bluffing. And if they’re not challenged by an offended ex-employee, nothing will happen and they will get away with it. But it must be challenged in court.

Vaccine Mandates do not work. Large numbers will never comply especially with all the VAERS deaths and life-changing illness they cause. And beyond that - the “vax” does not work.
I’ve met him here in the OC more than a few times over the years. He’s not a lib per se like his dad or brother Charlie S. If you dont recognize him, he’s like a next door neighbor when you talk to him. What’s refreshing is that he prefers not to talk about the biz but something else and believe it or not, he knows a lot about construction.
