CANOGA PARK, Calif.—Wicked Comix plans to hold a casting call Saturday, December 16 for the imprint's first all-girl production, Batwoman XXX: An Axel Braun Parody.
The movie will see Charlotte Stokely reprise her role from Braun's chart-topping Justice League XXX as DC's first openly lesbian superhero, which earned her a 2018 AVN Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
“Justice League XXX is definitely the parody that I’m most proud of, and Charlotte was so amazing in it that I literally decided to do a Batwoman solo movie after her first day on set,” said Braun, who himself is nominated for 21 AVN awards, including Best Parody, Best Director-Feature and Director of the Year. “This is a very important comic book character, not only because she is totally awesome and badass, but also because of what she represents for the LGBT community, which is why it’s only fitting that she’d be the star of my very first all-girl parody.”
"I think symbolically, I AM Batwoman,” added Stokely, who is also nominated for All-Girl Performer of the Year. “I might not prowl the streets fighting crime, but like Kate Kane, most of the men in my family are or have been in the military, I am gay, and I believe that sometimes you just need to kick monsters in the face and say 'enough!' I'm a very positive and compassionate woman but when I see people suffer I will go to bat for them. I am a part of many charity events, I donate to MUMS in Kenya, I've adopted a little boy in Sri Lanka, and if I see a friend in need, I will always help unconditionally. This is my life. Helping people gives me a purpose and I want nothing more than unity, respect and justice for everyone. Together we stand. Together we fight."
Others joining seven-time consecutive AVN Best Parody Director Braun's latest include Romi Rain, who will reprise her AVN Best Actress-nominated portrayal of Wonder Woman, and Axel Braun Productions contract star and 2018 All-Girl Performer of the Year nominee Aiden Ashley, who will return as Catwoman.
Although Batwoman XXX is an all-girl movie, there will still be males, albeit strictly in non-sex roles, and one of them will be Tyler Nixon, a 2018 AVN Best Supporting Actor nominee for his role as The Flash in Justice League XXX.
