  "account": "Disney has decided not to pursue a live-action Gargoyles remake, according to co-creator Greg Weisman. Weisman, speaking to ComicsOnline, stated that the series is \"dead\" and there are no current plans for a live-action adaptation. In 2023, Disney had announced a reboot of the '90s cartoon about four stone statues searching for love and self-discovery in New York City. The original series, created by Weisman, starred Goliath (voiced by Keith David) as the last of a heroic race of gargoyle warriors who once lived among humans. Brent Spiner, who voiced Puck on the original series, revealed that a new animated Gargoyles series is being developed.",
