Ted Lasso is coming to the MCU.

Well not quite. But Jason Sudeikis is joining Hit Monkey, a very weird upcoming animated series from Marvel and Hulu.

Back in 2019 Hulu announced four adult animated series for the streaming platform based on the following characters—Howard the Duck, M.O.D.O.K., Hit-Monkey, and Tigra and Dazzler, that would eventually joining forces in a Netflix Defenders style team-up special called The Offenders. Obviously plans changed after shut down of Marvel Television. Nevertheless, while the Howard the Duck and Tigra and Dazzler shows were shut down production still continued for Hit-Monkey and M.O.D.O.K. the latter of which premiered earlier this year on Hulu.

Today Marvel and Hulu not only released the first trailer for the Hit-Monkey animated series but also announced the stellar voice cast.

In contrast to the M.O.D.O.K. series which utilized stop-motion animation, the Hit-Monkey animated series is 2D animation. Based on the character created by writer Daniel Way and artist Dalibor Talajić, the series "follows a Japanese snow monkey, aided by the ghost of an American assassin, who goes on a revenge quest and becomes the famous 'killer of killers.'"

The animated series features an all-star voice cast including Jason Sudeikis, fresh off his Emmys win for the playing football-turned–soccer coach Ted Lasso in the acclaimed titular series, as Bryce the ghostly assassin who guides Hit-Monkey. Other notable voice actors in the series include George Takei and Olivia Munn. Voicing the eponymous Hit-Monkey is Fred Tatasciore who incidentally will be providing the vocal effects for Devil Dinosaur in the upcoming Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur animated series. Also notable, eagle-eyed Marvel fans can also spot the characters of Lady Bullseye and Fat Cobra in the aforementioned trailer.

Check out the cast/character breakdowns below:

After he's killed in the Japanese Alps, the ghost of Bryce and Monkey are tied together on a revenge quest. A terrible mentor with a sarcastic, cynical view of the world, Bryce must ultimately dig deep within himself in order to complete his final mission and help Monkey become who he was meant to be.

Smart, ambitious, and powerful, Akiko is the niece of Shinji Yokohama the future Prime Minister of Japan.

He's a killer of killers with a bit of a rage problem. Throughout the series, he must learn to navigate the struggle between his inherently sweet nature and the evil acts he must commit.
