1. Superhero Kindergarten (TBA)
‘Superhero Kindergarten’ is an upcoming family animated series that is slated to have Arnold lending his voice to a character. We most likely believe this will be the gym coach. The basic plot of the show is that a gym coach gains superpowers from a comet, and becomes Captain Courage, one of the greatest protectors of the earth.
However, his job does not just stop at saving the day. The hero must maintain his secret identity and work undercover as a teacher at a kindergarten, trying to raise a new generation of superheroes. Surely, the comedy will arise from how the superhero can handle bad guys but is often stumped when he has to handle naughty kids. It will be interesting to see Arnold doing voice acting, but the Hollywood veteran is sure to deliver a memorable performance.
