The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers star and producer Emilio Estevez shares which 80s film he regrets starring in, from the mind of Stephen King.
Emilio Estevez, who returns as Gordon Bombay in the Disney+ series The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, has worked on many projects throughout his decades-long career.
However, Estevez admitted that even he has regrets, telling Vanity Fair, “Oh, God, yeah. I’m not speaking out of class because he knows it’s a terrible movie, but Stephen King often talks about his one directorial experience on Maximum Overdrive, which I was in. The few times that I’ve connected with him over the years, he’s like, ‘Can you forgive me for that?'”

Estevez continued, “I think at one point my mom said, ‘Why’d you do that movie?’ I said, ‘I wanted to work with Stephen King.’ And she said, ‘Couldn’t you have helped him paint his house?'” In the same year as Maximum Overdrive‘s debut, Estevez made his directorial debut with Wisdom, a crime-drama film he also co-wrote and starred in as John Wisdom.
Estevez recently returned to The Mighty Ducks franchise, starring in and producing the Disney+ series The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. He previously starred in all three prior live-action movies in The Mighty Ducks franchise between 1992 and 1996.
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers stars Lauren Graham, Emilio Estevez, Brady Noon, Maxwell Simkins, Swayam Bhatia, Luke Islam, Kiefer O’Reilly, Taegen Burns, Bella Higginbotham, and DJ Watts. New episodes premiere Fridays on Disney+.
