By admin - Posted on December 22nd, 2009
Kevin Bacon will soon play an evil drug dealer in an upcoming action comedy titled Super.
The movie directed by James Gunn tells the story of an average man played by Rainn Wilson who takes on the role of a super hero.
Liv Tyler will play alongside Wilson and Bacon as the wife of the super hero named Crimson Bolt.
Screen Daily calls Bacon's character, Jacques, a smooth-talking criminal. Gunn said: "Kevin Bacon is one of the few actors nimble enough to give life to Jacques, our super-villain with a nice streak. We need to love Jacques even while he's doing horrible things - Kevin is one of the only actors I know who can pull that off."
Bacon's stellar acting credits include Mystic River with Sean Penn, The Woodsman and Loverboy.
