MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY

The Tick is set in a world where superheroes have been real for decades, centering on an underdog accountant with zero powers who comes to realize his city is owned by a global super villain long-thought dead. As he struggles to uncover this conspiracy, he falls in league with a strange blue superhero known as The Tick. This new trailer likely doesn’t feature any actual footage since The Tick started production on the full season just last month, after the pilot was completed last year.

The pilot for The Tick starred Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy), Griffin Newman (Vinyl), Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen), Valorie Curry (House of Lies), Yara Martinez (Jane the Virgin) and Brendan Hines (Scorpion). The Tick is executive produced by Ben Edlund (Supernatural), Barry Josephson (Bones) and Barry Sonnenfeld (A Series of Unfortunate Events), directed by Wally Pfister (The Dark Knight), and written by Edlund. The Tick is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television. As most fans know, though, this isn’t the first time The Tick has been adapted for the small screen.
