By If the presence of David Hasselhoff in the feature length Kung Fury wasn’t enough 1980s nostalgia fetish fuel for you, perhaps Arnie will fill in some gaps. Shortly after Michael Fassbender was confirmed to star in the film project, THR also reports that former California Governor and former Mr. Freeze Arnold Schwarzenegger will also appear, playing the United States President.
Arnold as president is a joke that has been played out at this point, but perhaps we’re past the moratorium seeing how the gag from The Simpsons Movie was over ten years ago. As previously reported, the director, writer and lead actor of the original Kung Fury short, David Sandberg, is said to be returning in all of those roles for the feature length follow-up.
Honored beyond belief to get a chance to work with the one and only, Arnold @Schwarzenegger!!! #KungFury https://t.co/937ExTaHuopic.twitter.com/7Hpx7F3fhC
