Marvel Television is getting into the animated series business at Hulu as The Hollywood Reporter states there will be four new series coming to the streaming service as well as a team-up ensemble series called, THE OFFENDERS.
The series breakdown includes HOWARD THE DUCK, MODOK, HIT-MONKEY, and TIGRA & DAZZLER SHOW. Here's the rundown of each new animated show, via THR:
• MODOK centers around an egomaniacal supervillain with a really big head and a really little body, who struggles to maintain control of his evil organization and his demanding family. Writers Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt will also executive produce.
• HIT-MONKEY tells the tale of a wronged Japanese snow monkey, mentored by the ghost of an American assassin, as he cuts a wide swath through the Tokyo underworld in this darkly cinematic and brutally funny revenge saga. Writers Josh Gordon and Will Speck will executive produce.
• TIGRA & DAZZLER SHOW is a story about two woke superheroes and best friends, Tigra and Dazzler, as they fight for recognition among powered people who make up the eight million stories in Los Angeles. Writers Erica Rivinoja and Chelsea Handler serve as executive producers.
• HOWARD THE DUCK is trapped in a world he never made, but America’s favorite fighting fowl hopes to return home with the help of his unstoppable gal pal Beverly before the evil Dr. Bong can turn him the crispiest dish on the menu. Writers Kevin Smith and Dave Willis will also executive produce.
• THE OFFENDERS follows MODOK, Dazzler, Tigra, Hit Monkey and Howard the Duck as they are all forced to team up in order to save the world and certain parts of the universe.
Nice to see some weird Marvel characters getting their chance to shine, albeit in animation, to a larger mainstream audience. But the real question here is why no love for Donald Glover's DEADPOOL animated series that was canceled at FX?
