Samuel L. Jackson and Djimon Djimon star in an upcoming animated, martial-arts-kids film Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank. Rob Minkoff, Mark Koetsier, and Chris Bailey preside as directors with the film set to be released on Friday, 15th June 2022.
Premise
The film centres around the aspirations of a beagle named Hank (Michael Cera), as the hound dreams of making it as a samurai. However, the major problem is that Hank is not the sharpest ‘tool’ or dog around.
To make matters worse, he finds himself in a town full of cats. The cats in general are not the primary problem, though. It is one cat, in particular, that has evil on its mind: Step forward Ika Chu (Ricky Gervais), a Somali cat who wants to rid the town of existence.
With nowhere to turn, Hanks teams up with a tuxedo cat Jimbo (Samuel L. Jackson) who will train him to become a samurai. And yet, Jimbo is reluctant to go ahead with the training but assists nonetheless.
In doing so, Hank takes on the mantle of becoming the town’s samurai against the villainous Ika Chu. As he assumes the role, Hank discovers that the town’s cats are not too happy with him taking charge. Can he dissuade his detractors and save the town from destruction?
