Michael J. Fox to Play Lead Role in New Dragon Fantasy Flick

Michael J. Fox will voice the lead in the CG animated film Dragoons. The Back to the Future star announced his retirement from acting in 2020 after his Parkinson's disease progressed—he was first diagnosed in 1991—but has since returned to work, joining the cast of Shrinking for its third season.

Dragoons, directed by Shea Wageman from a script by Geoff Taylor and produced by ICON Creative Studios, follows Dougie, an overlooked worker at WizCorp who, after a freak accident involving his apprentice Dart, is transformed into a mighty dragon. Dougie and Dart discover their species were once the legendary rulers of the skies, but a ruthless wizard-CEO named Hex shrank them, erased their memories, and stole their power, enslaving them as corporate workers.

Armed with the truth, they must awaken the rest and spark a revolution that proves that "even the smallest spark can light up the sky." Fox returns to the recording booth to voice Dougie.
