As mentioned above, the trailer shows what happens when M.O.D.O.K.'s business, A.I.M., runs low on money. M.O.D.O.K. is very trigger-happy, and that means everyone, from his employees to the good guys, is getting hit with lasers.
The trailer description reveals that he's then "Ousted as A.I.M.’s leader, while also dealing with his crumbling marriage and family life."
Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. release date
