According to Deadline, Kevin Hart is going to star in and produce a superhero comedy movie from Detective Pikachu writers Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit called Night Wolf. Deadline says it’s a “high concept” pitch, though, and that high concept is that Night Wolf is about a man (Hart) who meets his future father-in-law for the first time and somehow figures out that he’s secretly a vigilante called Night Wolf. It’s also apparently a “big, broad comedy” that is “perfectly matched with Kevin’s comedic talent,” which presumably means there will be a lot of scenes where some cool guy does cool stuff and Kevin Hart screams and does things are not cool, which is a gag that he tends to hit pretty well in stuff like Jumanji and Ride Along.
