Catherine Tate reunites with David Tennant on Disney’s DuckTales

October 6, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Disney has announced that Doctor Who alum Catherine Tate reunites with her former co-star David Tennant (voice of Scrooge McDuck) when she joins the cast of DuckTales as iconic villain Magica De Spell, Scrooge McDuck’s oldest, bitterest enemy in the new Disney Channel series DuckTales.

Magica De Spell made her first appearance in the 1961 comic book Uncle Scrooge #36. Obsessed with exacting her cruel (and needlessly elaborate) revenge, the malevolent Sorceress of the Shadows plans to infiltrate Scrooge’s family with the help of her niece Lena, voiced by Kimiko Glenn (Orange Is the New Black).
