A batch of official stills from Marvel and Hulu's M.O.D.O.K. are now online (via EW), giving us a first look at the titular supervillain (Patton Oswalt) and his highly dysfunctional family.
The stop-motion animated comedy series is the brainchild of Oswalt and EP/showrunner Jordan Blum, who wanted to delve into what a "Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing" did in his down-time when he wasn't battling The Avengers and striving for world domination.
"We obviously love the character as this big villain who is always trying to take over the world and run his evil organization [AIM]. His design by Jack Kirby is so absurd and monstrous that we thought, where does this guy go at night?" says Blum. "Does he go home to a house and have all these mundane things he has to do? Does he have a family we never knew about? The more we discussed, the more it just kind of made us laugh and then we tried to figure out well, what would that family be? Who would marry M.O.D.O.K and how hard would it be to be his son or to be a daughter in M.O.D.O.K.'s image?"
Marvel's first foray into the world of adult animation also stars Aimee Garcia (Lucifer) as M.O.D.O.K.'s wife Jodie, Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) as his oddball son Lou, and Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) as his daughter Melissa, who shares her father's... unique appearance.
There's no premiere date yet, but we should find out more during the show's New York Comic-Con panel later today.
