Quantum and Woody
Joel McHale is in talks for “Quantum and Woody,” the Joe & Anthony Russo action/comedy series based on the comic property from Valiant Entertainment.
The former “Community” star would play “Woody Henderson — a wisecracking, womanizing slacker, who along with his straitlaced adoptive brother, is granted unpredictable superpowers 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.”
Casting for the other lead – Woody’s African-American adopted brother, Quantum – is also expected to net a big name.
