Is it Knuckle-Puck time all over again? According to The Mighty Ducks<\/a> star Kenan Thompson<\/a>, it could be! While attending an Anaheim Ducks game on February 1, Saturday Night Live alum Kenan Thompson flashed a script<\/a> for The Mighty Ducks 4 at the camera, sparking speculation about a fourth film chapter of the coming-of-age sports comedy franchise.<\/p>\n

While at the game, Thompson wore a \u201cTyler\u201d jersey in honor of his Mighty Ducks character, Russ Tyler, who famously used his Knuckle-Puck trick shot to wow crowds and leave goalies speechless. According to reports, Thompson was cheering for the Ducks forward Alex Killorn, who was playing his 1,000th NHL game. During the game, Thompson led the stadium in a quack chant, a nostalgia-filled gesture that harkens back to the Mighty Ducks films and gets Anaheim Ducks fans pumped.<\/p>\n

Will there be a Mighty Ducks 4? Sadly, it\u2019s unlikely. According to Emilio Estevez, he wrote a script for the film, but Disney wasn\u2019t interested.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also wrote\u00a0Mighty Ducks 4. I wanted to make up for all of the disasters that happened on the\u00a0Game Changers series,\u201d Estevez said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast in April of last year. \u201c[It\u2019s] a feature script that had Coach Bombay coming back, being pulled back in by Joshua Jackson\u2019s character and Kenan Thompson\u2019s character to coach a new team, an expansion team, for the professional women\u2019s hockey league.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it would be an all-girl team. Now, when we discover Bombay, he\u2019s coaching roller derby and so he says, \u2018My girls are going with me. They have to have a shot,’\u201d he continued, adding, \u201cIt was charming and contemporary and cool and organically of the moment. It\u2019s where we\u2019re at\u2026 Disney was like, \u2018We don\u2019t want to pursue that.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Fun Fact: I used to work with J.D. Daniels, who played Peter in Disney\u2019s original The Mighty Ducks. We lived roughly 15 minutes apart, so we used to carpool to the Acclaim Entertainment<\/a> building in Glen Cove, where we did quality assurance for a handful of game titles. Daniels was always good company on long drives, and we often played games together at the office. J.D., if you read this, hit me up!<\/p>\n
