Back in October, it was announced that The Simpsons would feature an episode involving Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige as well as
Avengers: Infinity War and
Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo. We would later find out that the voice cast also includes Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam —
more on that here.
The episode sees Bart mistaken for a terminally ill child and allowed to see an early cut of an upcoming sequel within the extremely popular "Vindicator" superhero movie franchise. The parallel is clear; they're basically
The Avengers.
The Russo brothers play a pair of movie executives who find out that Bart has seen the movie and is using spoilers as blackmail to get what he wants. They will stop at nothing to prevent the mischevious child from spreading the all-important secrets. Feige plays, the Vinidcator's big bad, Chinnos. Smulders plays a character called Hydrangea while Killam plays one called Airshot.
With the episode set to air on Sunday at 8pm Eastern on FOX; an awesome, new poster for "Bart the Bad Guy" has been released which is clearly a play on the poster for
Avengers: Endgame and
Avengers: Infinity War just as the episode is. Check it out below (via
