In an interview with Variety, star Sam Richardson, known for his work on the acclaimed production “Veep” and recent stop-motion animation “MODOK”, commented on which X-Men member would like to perform in theaters – and the the answer was quite categorical: Hank McCoy, aka Beast.

The reason for wanting to play him is the similarities the mutant has to Richard Splett, a character experienced in the aforementioned comedy.

“I think the Beast is a big, blue, hairy Richard Splett,” he commented.

Recall that the first season ‘MODOK’ has already debuted on Hulu and received a very favorable reception from the critics.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the series got 88% approval, scoring 8.04 / 10 based on 26 reviews.

Patton Oswalt as MODOK – After being demoted by his evil secret organization and family, the supervillain must reinvent himself if he is to have the chance to regain the things he once had in his life, as well as conquer the world.

He is not athletic enough to be a player; not too smart to be a nerd; Lou is… well, Lou – a kid who clearly walks to the beat of his own music. The young man’s lack of ambition, friends and hygiene is a constant preoccupation of the supervillain, who ends up projecting his insecurities onto the overconfident son.

The company, in turn, makes Austin the new boss of MODOK, and even though he wants to disintegrate him in a snap, the villain is looking for new solutions to confront him.

Jon Daly as Super Adaptoid – An android who has an ambition to live, feel and create, but who is actually forced to spend his days massaging the scalp of MODOK, its creator. Although he intends to turn against his “boss,” Adaptoid maintains a troubled friendship with the villain.

Sam Richardson – Gary is an AIM henchman who is fiercely loyal to MODOK, even though he struggles to remember his name. As the supervillain continues to be demoted within his own organization, Gary is there by his side, always offering help and unwavering optimism.
