The Brood Queen Confirmed For Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. For Hulu

 

 

 

Earlier this week M.O.D.O.K. co-creator Jordan Blum had teased the appearance of Mr. Sinister in the upcoming stop-motion adult animated series, and now, he’s let loose that a far less popular X-Men group of villains will also be part of the fray in the form of The Brood Queen.

For those who don’t know who The Brood are, they are an alien species introduced in the Chris Claremont run of the Uncanny X-Men series, clearly inspired by Ridley Scott’s Xenomorph aliens from the famed 1979 film. So far, only The Brood Queen has been confirmed for an appearance with even this sketch from Max Loren Shepard:

 

It will be interesting to see just how deep Blum/Oswalt go down the Brood mythos like, are we getting one Brood Queen or hundreds, or are we getting other parts of the species like the King, Broo, Man-Thing, etc? Not much else is known now, but this series can’t get here soon enough.

Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., or simply M.O.D.O.K., is an upcoming American stop motion and adult animated streaming television series created for Hulu by Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. The series was produced by Marvel Studios through Marvel Television and Marvel Animation, with Blum serving as showrunner.

Patton Oswalt stars as M.O.D.O.K., a supervillain struggling to handle his company and family. Aimee Garcia, Ben Schwartz, Melissa Fumero, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Beck Bennett, Jon Daly, and Sam Richardson also star. M.O.D.O.K. was officially announced with a series order at Hulu in February 2019, as part of a group of series based on Marvel characters that were intended to lead to a crossover special titled The Offenders, with it being produced by Marvel Television and Marvel Animation. Oversight of the series was moved to Marvel Studios in December 2019 when Marvel Television was folded into that company. The cast was announced in January 2020, with writing and recording completed later. Stop-motion animation for the series is provided by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. In December 2019, Marvel Television was folded into Marvel Studios, which carried subsequent oversight of the series. The following month, Marvel decided not to move forward with Howard the Duck, Tigra & Dazzler, and The Offenders, with M.O.D.O.K. and Hit Monkey continuing as planned.

Synopsis:
After spending years failing to gain control of the world and battling superheroes along the way, M.O.D.O.K., having been removed from his company A.I.M. after it falls into bankruptcy and is sold to the rivaling GRUMBL, begins to deal with his tainting family while facing a mid-life crisis.
