It’s been awhile since we’ve seen McLovin get on a movie that I would wanna watch. I mean, sure he’s gonna be on Role Models, but that seems more like a Paul Rudd flick where he doesn’t really kick ass. Luckily, a year from now he’ll be back in his rockin’ ways, “allegedly,” as he portrays Red Mist in the movie adaptation of the comic book Kick Ass.

Comic book plot:
Dave Lizewski, an otherwise ordinary New York City high school student and the child of loving single father, takes his interest in comic books as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. He assembles a suit and mask, which he wears under his normal clothing, begins exercising, and practices things like walking on roofs, sating his ambitions for a time. He eventually seeks to fighting crime, his first attempt at which leads to a severe beating by thugs, followed by his wandering into the street and being hit by a van. He retains his secret identity, however, stripping off and hiding his costume before paramedics arrive.

As Kick-Ass, Lizewski sets up a MySpace account, so people can contact him for help. The first such request he investigates leads him to an apartment of violent low-lifes who try to kill him. He is rescued by a costumed young girl wielding a sword who herself kills two of the attackers. [source]
