Danny McBride sat down and talked to CHUD about his upcoming projects including Hench. 

Hench is based on a graphic novel that tells the story of a supervillain’s henchman. One thing that Variety got wrong, though, is the emphasis on football. When I asked Danny whether this character is similar to Kenny Powers in Eastbound and Down, he said that the trade played up that football background too much – it’s just an element of the character.

What was most interesting, though, was what Danny had to say about how he wants to do the film. Hench is set up at Warner Bros, and he’s trying to get the studio to let him play with their vast collection of DC comic book supervillains. Essentially McBride wants to do a comedic version of the as-yet-in-development-hell Supermax.

McBride doesn’t come across to me as a villain, but I’m just used to seeing him in comedy roles. It would be interesting to see him play up an evil character.
