Adult Swim has announced three new movies, including Metalocalypse!

Oh fuck yeah! Adult Swim has just announced three new feature films based on their beloved cult classic cartoon shows Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Venture Bros., and of course motherfuckin' Metalocalypse! They just revealed all this on Twitter this morning (which you can check out below), and has been confirmed by Deadline, THR, and the creators themselves!

So, I can't overstate how happy this makes me! Announcement of a Venture Bros. and Metalocalypse movie makes me especially joyous, as both were unceremoniously cancelled, with pretty unsatisfying conclusions. But now they can finally finish and tie up any loose ends with the aforementioned films, as both have suprisingly deep lore that were left kind of in a lurch by the end of their respective series.

However, this will be the second Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie (after 2007's Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters), and luckily that particular show has decidedly less story to have to tie up. Nonetheless I'm excited for this as well, as I'm a huge fan of the show as well (though hope it's better than the first movie, which had its moments, but was a bit underwhelming overall).

Here are the plot descriptions for each:

Metalocalypse:

The power-hungry TRIBUNAL unveils their secret and deadly “Falconback Project” as the world grows in embattled chaos and the menacing Doomstar breaches the Earth’s atmosphere while the mysterious and twisted dissent of a band member threatens the future of Dethklok. Picking up directly after the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth: Can Dethklok choose between their egos and the greater good of the world to embark on a gauntlet of dangers that will try their very souls and finally write the song that will be their salvation?  The new movie is created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blancha. The movie soundtrack will be released on WaterTower Music.

The Venture Bros.:

Doc’s latest invention will either bankrupt the Ventures or launch them to new heights, as Hank searches for himself, Dean searches for Hank, The Monarch searches for answers, and a mysterious woman from their pasts threatens to bring their entire world crashing down on them. The Venture Bros. is created, written and executive produced by Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer

Aqua Teen Hunger Force:

A continuation of the hit animated series, fans will find out what happens next with Frylock, Meatwad and Master Shake, who consider themselves crime fighters, but the truth is they never fight crime. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is created by Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis and follows the strange everyday lives of three human-sized food products living in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, no official release date as of yet for any of the projects as of yet, but they'll be coming straight to DVD/Blu-ray, as well as HBO Max!

So what do you guys think? And what film are you most looking forward to? Either way, sound off below!
