Marvel stars Taika Waititi and Kumail Nanjiani appear in a first look at new comedy series History of the World Part II.
The series from Hulu is a sequel to the classic Mel Brooks comedy film History of the World, Part I, which put a slapstick spin on historic events like The Spanish Inquisition and The French Revolution.
Legendary comedian Brooks introduces new footage from the series, where the parodies range from the biblical age to the swinging 1960s.

Mel Brooks' original 1981 comedy History of the World, Part I was critically panned at the time of release in spite of its own stellar cast for the era, yet its cult status has grown throughout the decades.
Brooks returns as both a writer and executive producer on the TV version of History of the World, along with the trio of stars mentioned above and David Stassen, Kevin Salter and Christie Smith.
History of the World Part II debuts two episodes on Hulu in the US on Monday, March 6, with two episodes per day dropping until the finale on Thursday, March 9.
