“The story definitely wasn’t over at all, that’s for sure,” Cool J said. “We’re finding out more about Sam, but remember, this is a different thing because Sam was transferred here.”
He told Deadline Hollywood about the new series: “There will be some lines in there that set up New York and it’s gonna be a lot of fun… A lot of sarcasm, a lot of banter, a lot of witty repartees, a lot of New York. It’s gonna be everything you need to get.”
Cool J was interested to play Hanna in a new setting.
“Context give the meaning to stories, you know,” he explained. “Context is everything, right? So seeing him in the New York setting, the New York vibes is gonna be interesting, and then on top of that, he’s a superhero.”
