James Gunn’s Super Film Gets A Super Trailer
James Gunn returns to the director’s chair with a madcap superhero spoof going by the name of Super. Judging from the trailer and actor Rainn Wilson’s costume, The Crimson Bolt, is more Kick-Ass than Batman.
The film is due out in April over in the Us but looks like a distribution deal and release date hasn’t been sorted for the UK.

Synopsis:

Us Release: 1st April»
