Jenna Fischer

It’s easier to sell three real heroes than three little-known actors, as it makes for a much sexier story, especially at a time when there seems to be more superheroes than real heroes on the big screen.

The Office star Jenna Fischer is set to headline an ABC comedy pilot and a Syfy star is moving to Fox for Bryan Singer’s Marvel pilot.

Mike White’s comedy Brad’s Status starring Ben Stiller has added Jenna Fischer, Michael Sheen, and Luke Wilson to the cast. Amazon has also boarded to co-finance with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment.

Brad, who has a great career and happy family, is obsessed with the better fortunes of his old friends from school. During an East Coast tour of colleges with his son, Brad is forced to confront his friends and his feelings of failure — with hilarious and poignant results.

Craig Robinson and Grace Gummer sign on to season two of Mr. Robot. Jenna Fischer set to star as Matt LeBlanc’s on-screen wife. Mad Men alum, Kevin Rahm joins Lethal Weapon.
