Over two years ago, Marvel TV announced a deal to bring Hit-Monkey, M.O.D.O.K., and two other animated series to Hulu. However, Howard the Duck, and the Tigra and Dazzler animated series were cancelled while in development. Hit-Monkey survived the axe however, and will soon join M.O.D.O.K. on Hulu, debuting on November 17th.
In the series, which takes some liberties with the character’s origin, the Japanese snow macaque destined to become Hit-Monkey lives peacefully until he encounters a wounded hitman named Bryce. After nursing Bryce back to health, Hit-Monkey is unable to prevent his demise. Therefore, Hit-Monkey decides to become an assassin, while Bryce’s ghost remains in this world to advise him.

Netflix’s nonlinear heist series Jigsaw casts Giancarlo Esposito in lead role
Netflix has officially given a series order to a brand-new heist drama series titled Jigsaw, which is being described as an innovative and suspenseful crime thriller. The series is developed to take a nonlinear approach to storytelling, allowing viewers to watch the first seven episodes in any order leading up to the finale.
Emmy-nominated actor Giancarlo Esposito has signed on for the leading role of Leo Pap. He joins a cast of Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell, and Jai Courtney, among others. Esposito will play a veteran thief who can’t stay away from a life of crime.
Jigsaw is loosely based on a real story in which $70 billion in Wall Street bonds were at risk due to flood waters caused by Hurricane Sandy. The story spans 25 years, from decades before the heist to a year afterward.
