LOS ANGELES — Disney’s new version of the 1980s animated series “DuckTales” is getting a cast worth quacking about, including a former Doctor Who.

Disney said Friday that David Tennant will be the voice of Scrooge McDuck, the wealthy great-uncle of Huey, Dewey and Louie. Tennant played the title role of the “Doctor Who” series for five years.

The trio of mischievous nephews will be voiced by Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz and Bobby Moynihan. Other cast members include Beck Bennett as Launchpad McQuack and Kate Micucci as Webby Vanderquack.

The new series will debut next summer. Donald Duck has not been cast yet.
