How to watch Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. in the UK
Bonkers new show M.O.D.O.K. is not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - so will it still be on Disney Plus?
Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. is certainly an interesting one - not just because of its zany main character and premise, but as one of the last projects developed by Marvel Television.
The label has since been absorbed by Marvel Studios who are pressing on with their Disney Plus MCU series, but despite the cancellation of Marvel's Netflix shows offbeat animated comedy M.O.D.O.K. has survived as a wacky alternative to your usual superhero fare.
It perhaps goes without saying that the adult animation is not set in the mainline MCU, so fans were unsure if M.O.D.O.K. would be coming to Disney Plus like upcoming series such as Loki.
However, they will likely be pleased to hear the answer - here's everything you need to know about how to watch M.O.D.O.K. in the UK.

Marvel’s MODOK trailer
A trailer was released in April 2021, and yes it looks as out there as you would expect. The trailer also highlights the impressive stop-motion animation:
Marvel’s MODOK plot: what is the series about?
The series follows the title character M.O.D.O.K. (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing), an egomaniacal supervillain known for his oversized head and stunted body.
After years of trying - and failing - to take over the world, M.O.D.O.K. hits a new low when his evil organisation A.I.M. goes into bankruptcy and is bought by a multinational tech company.
His mid-life crisis worsens when he reconnects with his suburban New Jersey family, including divorce demanding wife Jodie and teenage children Melissa and Lou - can he juggle domestic life with his work as a supervillain?
Co-created by comedian Patton Oswalt, the comedic side of the famously absurdist villain is on full show here, revelling in the goofiness of the comic books but also allowing for some surprisingly heartfelt moments.
Combining the humour of Rick and Morty with the animation of Robot Chicken, M.O.D.O.K. is quite possibly the most hilariously unique Marvel project since Deadpool.
