Deadpool, in his iconic red and black suit with swords on his back, strikes a playful pose and points forward inside Marvel’s themed entertainment space, bringing to life the bold, irreverent energy of an adult animated action-comedy inspired by Donald Glover.

FXX just announced the network has ordered 10 episodes of an animated, adult version of Marvel’s Deadpool. Donald Glover and his brother Stephen will serve as showrunners, executive producers, and writers for the currently untitled series.

Donald Glover’s series “Atlanta” already airs on the FX network, and he has a busy schedule coming up. He’ll be appearing in “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” playing Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Han Solo film, and voicing Simba in Disney’s live-action remake of “The Lion King.”

Donald Glover beams in a light gray suit on the red carpet, surrounded by excited fans at the lively premiere of an animated adult action-comedy like Deadpool.

It’s not yet clear what the art for the new animated Deadpool will look like (the above image is from another animated show), but we do know that it’s set to debut sometime in 2018.
