Have you ever heard about Captain underpants? Nope? Well, it’s a funny superhero who wears only underpants (yep like Superman or Batman, but just spandex suit). Here’s a picture:

The character comes from children’s novel series by American author and illustrator Dav Pilkey. The story revolves around Two grade-school kids who hypnotize their mean principal into assuming a secret identity of an under-wear clad superhero who helps their fellow classmates.

Well, DreamWorks Animation has acquired the movie rights. And they intend to develop an animated movie based on the property. Director Rob Letterman is in charge of the project.

So far the voice cast includes:
– Kevin Hart as George
– Jordan Peele as Melvin
– Nick Kroll as Professor Poopypants
– Ed Helms as Mr. Krupp / Captain Underpants
– and Thomas Middleditch as Harold Hutchins

The release date of the Captain underpants movie is set to January 13, 2017.
