I dont know yet what to expect from this show but if Fishburne and Mikkelsen has balls to sign in then i guess it has to be at least decent.
I truelly hope it is. That would make up that Mikkelsen leaving Thor 2 situation.

I gotta say they couldnt have got more suitable actor to play Younger Hannibal than Mikkelsen. He has the twisted looks needed for the role, acting skills and he is European like Hannibal.

Still not gonna top Anthony Hopkins thou.
That guy gives you nightmares. :)


Hope the series is R-Rated. Hannibal is nothing without some twisted mutilation scenes.

I wish this show was going to be on AMC instead. They aren't afraid to push the envelope just like in show like Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.
