International as part of his agreement to produce and star in the company’s animated children series,Shares of publicly-traded Genius Brands surged nearly 10% in premarket trading Monday on the announcement that said Schwarzenegger has elected to receive warrants to buy Genius Brands common stock as an advance against his profit participation in the show. Any further payouts would likely to be in the form of cash.
The show will premier in 2021 in the U.S. on Amazon Prime. Created by Stan Lee as one of his final projects, the show is co-produced by Genius with China’s Alibaba Group, Lee’s POW! Entertainment, and Schwarzenegger’s Oak Productions. Schwarzenegger also voices the lead character.
Schwarzenegger said he was, “honored to help realize Stan’s vision of creating a children’s cartoon series that not only entertains with superhero adventures, but also imparts valuable lessons about the importance of health, exercise, nutrition, anti-bullying, and diversity.” Andy Heyward, CEO of Beverly Hills-based Genius Brands said having the actor and former California governor as a warrant holder “is a tribute to his belief in both the series and Genius Brands.”
