The trailer for Vivid’s Superman vs. Spider-Man XXX is finally online, and it may be the only chance you’ll ever have to see both heroes together in a live-action film, taking on the combined forces of Doctor Octopus and Lex Luthor. They will also be having sex at some point, but that’s incidental. The latest film from AVN Hall of Famer Axel Braun (The Avengers XXX) stars Ryan Driller as Superman, Xander Corvus as Spider-Man, Jenna Presley as Spider-Woman, Jazy Berlin as The Black Cat, and Alexis Texas, Andy San Dimas, Capri Anderson, and Kagney Linn Karter.
It also stars… me.
If you’ll allow me to take out the Royal “We” for a moment (perhaps not the best choice of words in this context), Superman vs. Spider-Man XXX marks the first speaking role I have ever had in a feature film, recorded during a set visit for Geekscape last year. No sex for me, thanks (or, more accurately, you’re welcome). I’ve played a corpse before (in Basement Jack), and I’ve even starred in a web series (Bus Pirates), but Superman vs. Spider-Man XXX is the first feature film to actually allow yours truly to have a proper scene, an interrogation sequence with both Spider-Man and Superman. You can see me in the lower righthand corner in the above still, and at 0:50 in the trailer itself, firing a gun at the title heroes. And I suspect you can also immediately see why I’m a film critic, not a professional actor, but that just stands to reason.
In response to your obvious follow up question, I am available for signings.
Superman vs. Spider-Man XXX will be available on DVD in November, 2012.
