Joel McHale in talks to join the Russo Brothers’ TV adaptation of Quantum and Woody

Joel McHale (Community) is in talks to join the TV adaptation of the Valiant comic book series Quantum and Woody.

The Russo Brothers (Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War) are working on the new action/comedy television series.

McHale would star as Woody Henderson — a wisecracking, womanizing slacker, who along with his straitlaced adoptive brother, is granted unpredictable super powers from a pair of energy control bands they find while investigating their father’s death. The two are now stuck with each other — they must “klang” the bands together every 24 hours or their powers will kill them.

Once upon a time, Eric and Woody Henderson were inseparable. Adopted brothers. Best friends. Brilliant minds. Years later, they are estranged siblings, petty rivals, and washed-up failures. But when their father’s murder leads them into the throes of a life-altering scientific accident, Eric and Woody will find themselves with a whole new purpose – and a perfectly legitimate reason to wear costumes and fight crime. Go big or go home, folks! Quantum and Woody are coming!

The Russon Brothers have also directed episodes of Community and Arrested Development so they are great with comedy and super-hero action, plus they have already worked with McHale.

I do like Joel McHale and the comic book so I think this would be pretty good casting.

What are your thoughts on the news and who should play Eric? Plus, will there be a goat in the show?
