Gary Sanchez Productions’ Adam McKay, Will Ferrell and Chris Henchy will team up with animation company Bron Studios as creative collaborators and executive producers on the supervillain comedy Henchmen. Based on the short film Henchmen: Ill Suited, which just premiered at SIGGRAPH 2014, the movie is being directed by Adam Wood and is expected to arrive in 2016. Here’s the official synopsis:
In a world of super-villains, evil schemes and global domination… someone has to take out the trash. Welcome to the world of Henchmen, third class. When a fresh-faced new recruit joins the Union of Evil, he is assigned to a motley crew of blue-collar workers led by fallen henchmen Hank. But when “The Kid” accidently steals the super villain’s ultimate weapon, Hank must break his “risk nothing” code to save the boy he’s befriended, even if it means becoming the one thing he has always hated…heroes.
