Catapulting the actor to stardom back in the 1980s, Knight Rider centered on a tech genius named Michael Knight who used an artificially intelligent and virtually indestructible car named KITT to fight crime.
So we can neither confirm or deny if David Hasselhoff will return to Marvel’s blockbuster franchise, but his involvement in the Knight Rider reboot sounds like a fantastic consolation prize.
It is one of those quintessentially 1980s premises, and the series remains a cultural touchstone to this very day, becoming the recipient of homages and parodies in everything from Family Guy to Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken.
