Ryan Reynolds Loves Samuel L. Jackson In Quibi’s Weird New Animated Series ‘Futha Mucka’

With a title like Futha Mucka, and stars Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, you might think the upcoming Quibi series a sequel to their notoriously curse-laden action flick, The Hitman’s Bodyguard. Well, it’s not, but it’s also clear their foul-mouthed experience on that movie served as an inspiration.

Reynolds and Jackson will reunite for Futha Mucka, an animated series coming to Quibi, the mobile streaming platform. The show was created by Blockers writers Jim and Brian Kehoe, giving them some serious R-rated cred. The duo will also exec-produce and act as showrunners.

Check out the seriously weird meta premise: Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds love each other. More accurately, Ryan loves Sam. When asked for comment on his feelings for Ryan, Sam said “tell them I couldn’t be reached for comment.” When a minor mishap causes Sam to become Ryan’s primary caregiver, shit gets weird. Ryan is delighted to spend all of his time with Sam. Sam couldn’t be reached for comment.

Oh yeah, this is going to be fucking nuts. Reynolds and Jackson were joined at the hip for The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and will reteam on the sequel next year. As for Futha Mucka, not much is known but Quibi might have a hit on their hands, even if it means filling up the swear jar.
