Sweet Tooth Poster: Gus & Jepperd Face The Beginning of a New World
Posted on
Jeff Lemire s comic book series
Sweet Tooth hits streaming screens, the streaming service has released a new look at
Christian Convery s Gus and
Nonso Anozie s Tommy Jepperd via a new key art poster. Set to premiere on June 4, the series introduces Gus- part deer, part boy- who leaves his home in the forest to find the outside world ravaged by a cataclysmic event. He joins a ragtag family of humans and animal-children hybrids like himself in search of answers about this new world and the mystery behind his hybrid origins. Jepperd is a wandering loner and a former professional athlete who will go on to become Gus protector, friend, and mentor.
Jeff Lemire‘s comic book series
Sweet Tooth is getting the Netflix treatment as a streaming show, courtesy of executive producers
Robert Downey Jr. and
Susan Downey. In a new featurette, the two talk about altering the tone of Lemire’s comics from the “foreboding” vibe of the graphic novels to something that is much more family-friendly…which I’m guessing purists who love Lemire’s comics will not exactly be thrilled about. Check out the featurette below.
Sweet Tooth Featurette
Is it just me, or was it a little weird for anyone else to see Downey working on a DC production after spending so much of his career being the face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? I know several actors have made the jump between those two companies before, and it doesn’t even seem like Downey is going to be playing an on-screen role in this show at all, but still – it’s almost like seeing Toucan Sam working behind the scenes for Lucky Charms or something.
