LOS ANGELES—The king of superhero porn spoofs is revving up the hype machine for his next giant outing in the genre, Captain Marvel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, and today he and Wicked Pictures unveiled the tiniest glimpse (seen above) of leading actress Kenzie Taylor in the title heroine's outfit to whet fans' appetite.
"Captain Marvel XXX is my 60th parody," Braun said, "so I used that milestone as an excuse to celebrate by doing something really awesome ... let's just say that comic fans will be very, very happy. And Kenzie Taylor will absolutely blow people away in this role—she is not only an exceptional actress, she literally IS Captain Marvel."
Offered Taylor herself, "It's such an honor to have been chosen as the lead in this movie, I am forever grateful and I took this amazing opportunity very seriously."
Just how seriously? Taylor cut her hair, dyed it platinum blonde and underwent an intense six-week stength and fight training regimen to fill the shoes inhabited by Brie Larson in the big screen version of the comic released in March.
"We have one more big day of shooting ahead of us, and I can't wait to finish so we can finally show everybody what we did!" Taylor enthused. "The script is literally the funniest thing Axel has ever written, the cast is incredible, and there's plenty of surprises that will make the fans totally geek out!"
Braun's last extravaganza under the Wicked Comix banner, Deadpool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, took home four trophies at the 2019 AVN Awards, including the director's ninth consecutive Best Parody statuette, and Best Actor for Seth Gamble as the "Merc With a Mouth."
That movie pitted Braun against himself for AVN's top honor, Movie of the Year, with his drama The Possession of Mrs. Hyde—a passion project many years in the making whose script Braun co-wrote with his late father, industry pioneer Lasse Braun, and his son, third-generation adult director Rikki Braun—ultimately claiming the grand prize.
Captain Marvel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody is due out in September.
