M.O.D.O.K. Showrunner Shares BTS Photo Of Patton Oswalt Performing In Full "Motion Capture" Suit

Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. is set to premiere on Hulu this weekend, and showrunner Jordon Blum has now shared a fun BTS photo of star Patton Oswalt performing a scene in a full "motion capture" outfit.

All 10 episodes of Marvel's first adult animated series, M.O.D.O.K., will be available to stream on Hulu from tomorrow, and showrunner Jordon Blum has taken to Twitter to share an hilarious "behind-the-scenes" shot.

The photo sees star Patton Oswalt in a full M.O.D.O.K. "mo-cap" costume as he prepares to perform a scene. Of course, the show utilizes stop-motion animation, so there would be absolutely no reason for Oswalt to suit-up as the title character unless it was for an elaborate joke. Still, the image has fooled a lot of people.

Hey, maybe Oswalt really did dress as M.O.D.O.K. to record his dialogue - no judgement here!

The series will focus on self-obsessed supervillain M.O.D.O.K. (Patton Oswalt), who "has long pursued his dream of one day conquering the world. But after years of setbacks and failures fighting the Earth’s mightiest heroes, M.O.D.O.K. has run his evil organization A.I.M. into the ground. Ousted as A.I.M.’s leader, while also dealing with his crumbling marriage and family life, the Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing is set to confront his greatest challenge yet!"

In addition to Nathan Fillion as Wonder Man and Jon Hamm as Iron Man, M.O.D.O.K. will feature Whoopi Goldberg (The Stand, Ghost) as Poundcakes, and Bill Hader (It: Chapter 2, SNL) as Angar the Screamer and The Leader. Marvel's first foray into the world of adult animation also stars Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs) as Monica, Beck Bennett (SNL) as Austin Van Der Sleet, Jon Daly (Kroll Show) as Super-Adaptoid, Aimee Garcia (Lucifer) as M.O.D.O.K.'s wife Jodie, Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) as his oddball son Lou, and Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) as his daughter Melissa, who shares her father's... unique appearance.

We've seen the first season and it's a total blast. If you're a Robot Chicken fan you definitely won't want to miss it.

Probably just to give some indication of movement to follow for the animators.

Whatever its for though, it looks pretty funny

Also, the thumbnail made me think he was in a car or something. Seeing it this way makes sense though

@bkmeijer - My guess is it’s just for some live-action commercial/tv spot or something.

It seems to be getting good reception. I had no interest in this but maybe I should check it out, I love stop motion

MoCap for Stop Motion animation? Sounds like someone was f'ing with Patton. Unless this was CGI mimicking Stop Motion, which sounds ridiculous.

@pclark - yeah ppl have already been doing that for years (aardman for example), and lots of amazing artists and animation use photos, videos or in this case mocaps, even if its just small moments or gestures, in order to capture and create more lifelike performances.

Well, at least now we know that a live action version of M.O.D.O.K. can be achieved without being completely CGI.
