2021 has been quite a year for Marvel, and it's back with another animated series, Hit-Monkey.
Hit-Monkey is mostly known for his close association with Deadpool and has always been based on a real character from the Marvel Comics.
Created by Will Speck and Josh Gordon, Marvel's Hit-Monkey follows a vengeful Japanese snow monkey that has been mentored by the ghost of an assassin; now equipped to wreak havoc on Tokyo’s criminal underworld. The desire for vengeance was born after Hit-Monkey's entire tribe was slaughtered.
Here's everything viewers need to know about Marvel's Hit-Monkey.

Check out the trailer for Marvel's 'Hit-Monkey'
The teaser/announcement for Marvel's Hit-Monkey was done through a short clip released on Hulu's official YouTube channel in September, sending all the Marvel fans into a frenzy- given what a crazy year it's been for them. The official trailer for the series dropped last month, revealing Marvel Television as its producer.
