Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel hits theaters on June 14, but it’s got some serious competition. Man of Steel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody is coming to DVD that same day, and it looks just as fancy as its Hollywood counterpart. Friend to CraveOnline Axel Braun (Batman XXX: A Porn Parody) has just sent us these exclusive HD images from Man of Steel XXX showing off Ryan Driller (Superman vs. Spider-Man XXX, co-starring yours truly), which he filmed on the sly while nobody was looking. “I kept this movie a secret even within my industry,“ says Braun. “And nobody has seen a single shot from it yet.”
Well, that changes today. Braun is premiering two shots from Man of Steel XXX, featuring Driller in a fancy Superman costume that looks almost exactly like the Zack Snyder counterpart, and also Driller in Superman’s Death and Return of Superman black suit, which almost came to live-action in Tim Burton’s aborted Superman Lives motion picture from the late 1990s. Does Zack Snyder know something we don’t about Man of Steel? Will Henry Cavill get his own black suit in the Warner Bros.’ movie?
“By the way,” Axel Braun added. “This might not mean much by Hollywood standards, but each one of the costumes cost me more than the entire budget of an average porn flick. But, you know, I’m a fanboy :)”
Either way, Axel Braun’s film will feature a much larger cast of characters from the Superman mythos than Snyder’s. Braun revealed the full cast will include Lex Luthor (Eli Cross), Batman (Giovanni Francesco), Wonder Woman (Kimberly Kane), Lois Lane (Kirsten Price), Lana Lang (Samantha Ryan), Livewire (Sasha Knox), Silver Banshee (Skin Diamond), Angle Man (Alan Stafford), Dr. Fate (Eric Masterson), Zatanna (Kendall Karson) and Bizarro (Billy Glide).
Take that, Zack Snyder. The gauntlet has been thrown. Axel Braun has upped his game, now up yours.
