Los Angeles, Mar 26 (PTI) British actor and comedian Peter Serafinowicz is set to star as the lead in an Amazon-backed remake of "The Tick", in a pilot episode based around the comic book creation by Peter Edlund.
According to Deadline, the 43-year-old actor and voiceover artist is set to star as the antenna-clad, muscle-bound spoof superhero in a re-boot of the popular character.
"The Tick" was created as the mascot for a chain of American comic book stores during the 1980s, but the character was the subject of a Fox Kids animated show between 1994 and 1996, and a live-action version was created in 2001 and starred Patrick Warburton, formerly a star of sitcoms "Seinfeld" and more recently "Rules of Engagement".
Warburton, also a star of "Family Guy" as the voice of Joe Swanson, is expected to executive produce the show alongside Edlund himself, who is helping to write the script.
