At the press junket for Land of the Lost, CHUD's Devin Faraci asked Danny McBride about this recently announced project and got some new info. McBride said that in their announcement story Variety over-emphasized the football player element for the character he will play in the Hench film. Bigger news for comic book fans is that McBride said that he's trying to convince Warner Bros. to let them populate the Hench movie with an array of DC universe supervillains.
