Marvel TV and Hulu Unveil Cast for Animated Series 'Marvel's M.O.D.O.K.'

Marvel's M.O.D.O.K Releasing Early 2021 Says Patton Oswalt

Everything We Know About Hulu's MODOK Show

Marvel M.O.D.O.K. is a stop-motion animated comedy production from  Stoopid Buddy Stoodios that will likely air sometime in early 2021 on Hulu.
M.O.D.O.K., which stands for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing, is one of Marvel's oldest big bads, dating back to 1967 when he was co-created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Formerly the A.I.M. technician George Tarleton, MODOK is a mutagen-enhanced organism designed by A.I.M. scientists for computing and research who, like all great science experiments, developed greater ambition and killed his creators. The series, co-written by and starring Patton Oswalt, follows MODOK much later, after he takes over AIM and subsequently runs it into the ground, resulting in his removal from power and impending divorce.

PATTON OSWALT AS M.O.D.O.K.

After being ousted from both his evil organization and his family, super villain M.O.D.O.K. (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing) must reinvent himself if he ever wants the chance to win back the things in his life that are most important… outside of conquering the world that is. M.O.D.O.K. is about to find out that super heroes are nothing compared to his newest challenge… a midlife crisis.

AIMEE GARCIA AS JODIE

Jodie, M.O.D.O.K.’s wife and mother to his children, has had a late-in-life awakening — excited to pursue her mommy-blog turned lifestyle-brand empire and discover who she is as an independent woman in her forties. There are just too many things to do in this world and not enough time to waste being held back by negativity. And unfortunately for M.O.D.O.K., the thing weighing her down the most... is him.

BEN SCHWARTZ AS LOU

To be honest, M.O.D.O.K. doesn’t really “get” his twelve-year-old son Lou. Not athletic enough to be a jock. Not smart enough to be a nerd. Lou is... well, Lou — a kid who clearly marches to the beat of his own drum. Lou’s lack of friends, ambition and hygiene is a constant worry for M.O.D.O.K., who often projects his own insecurities onto his overly confident son.

MELISSA FUMERO AS MELISSA

Even with her father’s “features,” seventeen-year-old Melissa has risen the ranks to become the Heathers-like queen bee of her school and a star in the world of teen figure skating. Every popular kid either wants to date her or avoid her terrifying wrath. But for all of her success, Melissa secretly yearns for her father’s approval.

WENDI MCLENDON-COVEY AS MONICA RAPPACCINI

Monica is a brilliant mad-scientist at A.I.M. and M.O.D.O.K.’s rival at work. Clearly more competent and qualified than M.O.D.O.K., Monica believes she should be running the organization. After GRUMBL acquires A.I.M., Monica relishes in M.O.D.O.K.’s suffering until the new management begins to infringe on her ungodly experiments. With a common enemy in Austin, M.O.D.O.K. and Monica are finally able to put aside their differences and work together… when they aren’t constantly betraying each other.

BECK BENNET AS AUSTIN VAN DER SLEET

After M.O.D.O.K.’s evil organization A.I.M. is run into the ground, he’s forced to sell it to silicon valley tech-giant GRUMBL. GRUMBL sends slick, twenty-something Austin as a “post-merger-integration-consultant” and M.O.D.O.K.’s new boss. Though M.O.D.O.K. wishes he could just zap Austin to the Negative Zone, M.O.D.O.K. must find new solutions to confront Austin’s corporate jargon-speak and frequent mandatory HR meetings, if he’s ever going to reclaim A.I.M. from Austin’s grip.

JON DALY AS SUPER ADAPTOID

A snarky android with ambitions to live, feel and create, but is instead forced to spend his days massaging the hoverchair sores on his creator M.O.D.O.K.’s scalp. Although the Adaptoid dreams of overwriting his programming and turning on M.O.D.O.K., there is also a begrudging friendship between these two.

SAM RICHARDSON AS GARY

Gary is a henchman or “beekeeper” at A.I.M. who is fiercely loyal to his boss M.O.D.O.K., even if M.O.D.O.K. struggles to remember his name. As M.O.D.O.K. continues to get demoted within his own organization, Gary is there by his side, always offering his help and unshakeable optimism whether M.O.D.O.K. wants it or not.

Marvel MODOK Head Games a 4 issue Comic Book (Pre-Order for Issue 1 ships December) from MARVEL COMICS

From Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, showrunners of the upcoming animated Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. show on Hulu, comes a journey into the mind of one of the biggest heads in the Marvel Universe! M.O.D.O.K. is the ruthless and brilliant leader of the terrorist organization AIM, outsmarting heroes and outmaneuvering his cutthroat colleagues gunning for his position... but when he begins to be haunted by memories of a family he never had, it leaves him unsure if he is losing his freakishly-large mind, or if perhaps there is a lot more to this enormous mind... or if there is something more sinister behind these visions.

Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum created the comic based on all the leftover ideas they had from writing the upcoming Hulu TV series.

That's odd. I thought a second season had already been greenlit.
