So far, FOX has issued a script commitment, the next step would be for an animated presentation.
Our Take
Sign me up.The Nice Guys is a top 5 comedy of all-time in my book and I really enjoyed Shane’s take on The Predator. As for who could take on the lead role, I would love to see Doug Stanhope, Johnny Depp, or Robert Downey Jr. take the part.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
