Hulu Series Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. Boasts Guest Stars
Me: Yes, you do know M.O.D.O.K.
You: “No, no. I have no idea who M.O.D.O.K. is.”
Me: Yes, you do know M.O.D.O.K.
You: “If you say soooooo…”
M.O.D.O.K. Explained…
Okay, bear with me. You saw Captain America: The First Avenger?
And you remember this guy?
That is Dr. Arnim Zola, who palled around with Red Skull – the dude who started Hydra.
Zola ended up evolving.
You saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier?
Of course, you did.
Remember Cap and Black Widow exploring the old army base?
And they found this “guy”? The computer program tried to kill our heroes.
That is Zola, a.k.a. M.O.D.O.K.
Apparently, this means “Mental/Mobile/Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing (or Conquest, sometimes).
This Super Villain is Super FUNNY

In Marvel Comics, this M.O.D.O.K. guy (and yes, that is getting tiresome to type out), has a very full and “rich” backstory. So, it makes good sense that Hulu launches a villainous, comedic, star-laden animated series (outside of the MCU continuity).
Marvel.com’s Rachel Paige posted a reminder and news review of the upcoming series, centered on the cast’s recent interview for WonderCon@Home.
Paige posted:
Who’s ready to take over the world? M.O.D.O.K. sure is…even though he’s going to hit a roadblock every step of the way, whether it be A.I.M. headquarters or back at home with his wife and two kids. How can a megalomaniacal super villain have it all? Well, we’ll find out in Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., premiering May 21 on Hulu!
The cast and crew of M.O.D.O.K. hosted a WonderCon@Home Panel (which you can watch above!), featuring stars Patton Oswalt (M.O.D.O.K.), Melissa Fumero (Melissa), Aimee Garcia (Jodie), Ben Schwartz (Lou), Jon Daly (Super-Adaptoid) and were joined by creator, writer, and executive producer Jordan Blum for a fan Q&A covering all aspects of M.O.D.O.K.’s work and home life.
“He is this character that aspires to be like Doctor Doom, this kind of like menacing villain, but he always falls short of it,” Blum explained during the panel. “The fact that he’s conscious that he’s not an A-Lister drives him insane. What’s his home life like, while also running an evil organization?”
Now watch the video:
And, by the way, there’s a whole bunch of familiar names coming too.
Jon Hamm as Iron Man, Whoopi Goldberg as Poundcakes, Nathan Fillion as Wonder Man, and Bill Hader as Angar the Screamer and The Leader.
We even have some pics!
I am ready for M.O.D.O.K. How about you?
