Is Marvel's New Show 'Hit-Monkey' for Kids, or Are They Just Monkeying Around?

Analyze everything surrounding Is Marvel's New Show 'Hit-Monkey' for Kids, or Are They Just Monkeying Around in this comprehensive guide.

We just want to reiterate this show is not for children. In October 2021, Hulu released an official trailer for the new series, and the first thing we hear is the voice of Jason Sudeikis as Bryce, the human assassin, saying, "You're gonna have to kill some evil people that totally deserve to die. 'Cause it's your destiny." Oh, did we forget to mention that while Bryce is dead, his ghost is available to help Hit-Monkey avenge his friends? Yes, that happens, and it's awesome.

Speaking of Hit-Monkey, he's voiced by Fred Tatasciore, who has done just about every animated show around. Shinji Yokohama, the sweet politician who is crushed by stress, is voiced by George Takei. Olivia Munn will be making an appearance as Akiko, Shinji's smart and sassy niece. You can't have baddies without goodies, so enter Haruka, played by Ally Maki, a decent cop who just wants to do good, and her partner Ito (Nobi Nakanishi).

As a reminder, this program is not for kids. If you don't believe us, just listen to Ally Maki in her interview with ComicBook: "I mean it's still a comedy, but it's a very, very dark comedy, it's not really intended for kids." We told ya, not for kids.

Hit-Monkey begins streaming on Hulu on Nov. 17.
