LOS ANGELES — The first scene of “Spideypool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody,” the director’s latest Wicked Comix superhero spoof, is now available on Wicked.com.
The scene features Gamma exclusive contract performer Seth Gamble reprising his award-winning role as Deadpool, paired with Kenna James as Mary Jane Watson.
The all-new production marks Braun’s first parody since helming last year’s award-winning “Black Widow XXX.”
In Marvel fandom, “Spideypool” is shorthand for the popular ‘slash’ teaming of Wade Wilson (Deadpool) and Peter Parker (Spider-Man).
“While Deadpool and Spider-Man’s relationship in the comic book canon has always been contentious, Wade is rarely all-out bad, and Peter always tries to see the good in people,” a rep noted. “These character traits have laid the foundation for a hilarious, if unlikely, superhero bromance in fan culture that’s inspired thousands of works of visual art and slash fiction — but never in a live-action film.”
Director and Wicked Head of Production Axel Braun said, “I feel so lucky. I get to play in a sandbox with all these characters I love, and I can do things that mainstream is not allowed to — and I’m not just talking about the sex. Deadpool is an R-rated character, while Spidey is PG-13, and toning either down or up would totally alienate their core audiences, so they simply can’t make a Spideypool movie.
“But at least I can make a parody of it!” he added.
Return of the ‘Marvel AxelVerse’
Spideypool XXX features many recurring members of the Marvel AxelVerse, beginning with Gamble, returning to portray Deadpool for the fourth time.
“I’m a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool,” Braun said, “but Seth Gamble, to me, is the definitive version of Wade Wilson. He took this role and instead of simply doing an impersonation of Ryan he morphed it into his own by studying the comics to a degree where he could quote specific page numbers.”
Gamble enthused, “Reprising my role as Deadpool is always a blast. This is my fourth time getting the opportunity to dig into being the merc with a mouth and I have to say that ‘Spideypool XXX’ is by far the funniest movie I’ve ever done.”
Co-star Kenna James described working on ‘Spideypool XXX’ as “everything I could have hoped for and more. It’s incredibly funny and it could not have been a more perfect cast. Hands down, my favorite part about the first scene is I get to fuck Deadpool, that’s literally the dream.”
James added that Gamble “is such an amazing scene partner, but this is definitely a new level of amazing — one of the best scenes of my entire career.”
