Braun's 'Avengers XXX' Gears Up for May 1 Debut

LOS ANGELES—With Hollywood's The Avengers poised to kick off summer blockbuster season the weekend after next, Axel Braun and Vivid Entertainment are ready to start the party a little early with the release of Avengers XXX: A Porn Parody next Tuesday, May 1, under the Vivid SuperXXXHeroes banner. To do battle against The Hulk (Jordan Lane), Braun, fresh off his second consecutive XRCO Best Director award win, has assembled Iron Man (Dale DaBone), Black Widow (Brooklyn Lee), Thor (Brendon Miller), Spider-Woman (Jenna Presley), Ms. Marvel (Lexi Swallow), Sharon Carter (Phoenix Marie), The Scarlet Witch (Danni Cole), Nick Fury (Lexington Steele), Hawkeye (Eric Masterson) and Spider-Man (Xander Corvus). In addition, She-Hulk is played by former pro-wrestling champion Chyna, who gets to flex some serious acting muscles ... and share a torrid sex scene with the God of Thunder. "My role was just pure sexy fun," Chyna said. "It was exciting for me to spoof one of these great characters and to be in the company of terrific actors who were enjoying themselves as much as I was. It was definitely a level above the roles I've played in the ring." Added Braun, "In this parody I wanted not only to showcase a more complete Avengers lineup than the one offered by the Hollywood movie, but also to do justice to some of their costumes like the blue/purple Hawkeye outfit that was inexplicably ditched by Joss Whedon in favor of a boring black one. Oh, and Lexington Steele as Nick Fury is way more badass than Samuel L. Jackson." Avenger XXX: A Porn Parody, debuts online at Vivid.com on May 1 and will be in stores nationwide on May 8.
