As many recent storylines of movies and TV shows explore the concept of the “multiverse” (which gives the projects opportunities to bring back actors in their past, coveted roles), a new exclusive clip from the Hulu original sci-fi comedy, Solar Opposites, explores what is called “the stockiverse.” The stockiverse is revealed to be a universe in which people get placed into a universe of stock photos. Korvo accidentally traps Jesse in the stockiverse and must enter the posed-photo world to retrieve her.
The official synopsis for the Hulu original reads,
A team of four aliens escape their exploding home world only to crash land into a move-in ready home in suburban America. They are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome. Korvo and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) love humans and all their TV, junk food and fun stuff. Their mission: protect the Pupa, a living super computer that will one day evolve into its true form, consume them and terraform the Earth.
The trailer for the season 4 premiere of Solar Opposites recently dropped and continues the space madness. The animated sci-fi comedy was created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan. Those who have seen previous seasons might have noticed in the trailer that Korvo sounds slightly different. This is because Hulu replaced previous voice actor Justin Roiland with Dan Stevens. Hulu parted with Roiland after he had been charged with felony domestic abuse, but those charges had since been dismissed.
Justin Roiland would respond on social media to the charges against him being dismissed. “I have always known that these claims were false — and I never had any doubt that this day would come. I’m thankful that this case has been dismissed but, at the same time, I’m still deeply shaken by the horrible lies that were reported about me during this process. Most of all, I’m disappointed that so many people were so quick to judge without knowing the facts.”
Solar Opposites continues its journey on August 14.
