Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds To Reunite In Quibi’s Animated Series" ‘Futha Mucka’

Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds, who teamed up for “The Hitman’s Bodyguard,” are set to star in an animated series at Quibi called “Futha Mucka.”

Here’s the logline that Quibi provided for the series: Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds love each other. More accurately, Ryan loves Sam. When asked for comment on his feelings for Ryan, Sam said “tell them I couldn’t be reached for comment.” When a minor mishap causes Sam to become Ryan’s primary caregiver, sh*t gets weird. Ryan is delighted to spend all of his time with Sam. Sam couldn’t be reached for comment.

Jackson and Reynolds are slated to reprise their respective roles as hitman Darius Kincaid and his bodyguard Michael Bryce in “Hitman’s Bodyguard” sequel “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.” The second installment in the series was recently delayed to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Futha Mucka” was created by “Blockers” writers Jim and Brian Kehoe, who will serve as showrunners and executive producers alongside Reynolds and Jackson. It is being produced by Anonymous Content and Maximum Effort with Titmouse serving as the animation studio.

Other exec producers on the project include Nina Soriano for Anonymous Content, Patrick Gooing for Maximum Effort, Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoksi and Ben Kalina for Titmouse, and Charlie Scully and George Dewey.
