What a couple of days for Jason Sudeikis: Sunday he wins an Emmy for his work in Ted Lasso, and Monday we get to see his debut in the Marvel television universe.

The fact that he will be voicing a deceased contract killer who serves as mentor to a monkey assassin makes it that much more interesting.

Sudeikis will play Bryce in the upcoming Marvel animated show Hit Monkey, and if the trailer is any indication, the show will have an Deadpool-ish edge to it. (Not every Marvel show is being made for Disney+ – the more subversive animated outings like M.O.D.O.K. are sent directly to Disney’s sister streamer Hulu.)

The series, inspired by the comics character of the same name, follows a Japanese snow monkey (voiced by Fred Tatasciore), who becomes a top assassin in a quest for vengeance against the criminal underworld in Tokyo, at the urging of the spirit of a dead American contract killer that happens to talk to him (Sudeikis).

Hulu’s official synopsis for the new series says, “after a Japanese snow monkey’s tribe is slaughtered, he joins forces with the ghost of an American assassin and together, they begin killing their way through the Yakuza underworld.” Which is definitely…interesting.

In the trailer, Bryce tells Hit Monkey, “you’re gonna have to kill some evil people who totally deserve to die, ’cause it’s your destiny.”

Josh Gordon and Will Speck (Blades of Glory) created the series, and act as showrunners and executive producers. The cast also features George Takei (Star Trek) as Japanese politician Shinji and Olivia Munn (Predator) as Akiko, Shinji’s mysterious niece, as well as Nobi Nakanishi and Ally Maki as Ito and Haruka, two Tokyo PD officers caught up in the bloody conflict.

The character was created by Daniel Way and Dalibor Talajic and first appeared in a Marvel Comics one-shot in 2010 and later went on to be featured in a three-issue story arc in Deadpool #19-21.

Hulu had originally planned to produce four shows under the banner “The Offenders”, but only M.O.D.O.K. and Hit Monkey went into production. Howard The Duck and Tigra & Dazzler were shelved earlier this year.

The ten-episode Hit Monkey series premieres November 17th.
