In a world where physics, logic, and sanity are optional, Slapstick introduces Steven Harmon — a teenage prankster turned living cartoon after a freak accident involving an interdimensional portal and a carnival funhouse. Now composed of ectoplasmic “living toon matter,” Slapstick can stretch, flatten, and explode without harm, wielding a mallet that defies every law of reality.
Marvel Studios reimagines the cult comic character as a full‑scale cinematic event: a meta‑superhero romp that skewers the MCU’s seriousness while celebrating its spectacle. The film blends slapstick humor, surreal visuals, and emotional depth, exploring what happens when a joke becomes self‑aware — and starts questioning the punchline.
Slapstick’s antics draw the attention of both heroes and villains, including Ghost Rider, who sees him as a cosmic anomaly threatening the balance between worlds. As Slapstick’s powers spiral out of control, he must decide whether he’s a hero, a hazard, or just the universe’s ultimate gag.
