Fan CastingThe Assassination of Mayor McCheese by the Coward Hamburglar (2024)

In the rustbelt town of Grimace Falls, former fast-food mascot-turned-small-town-mayor "Duke" McCheese is a corrupt local legend—skimming off school lunch programs, bulldozing mom-and-pop diners for drive-thru expansions, and always flanked by his private security force (led by a grizzled, ex-cop Officer Big Mac). But when Robbie "Hamburglar" Harlow, a disgraced McDonald’s fry cook turned petty thief, tries to expose McCheese’s embezzlement, a botched blackmail attempt leaves the Mayor wounded and Robbie fleeing as the town’s most wanted. Now, with a viral manhunt (#WhereIsTheHamburglar) turning him into both folk hero and scapegoat, Robbie must team up with his ex (Birdie, a burned-out morning shift manager) and a conspiracy-obsessed Grimace (McCheese’s estranged brother) to prove the Mayor’s crimes—before the next "accidental" grease-fire silences them all.
