Director Matthew Vaughn is very excited about bringing home the Bacon (sorry, couldn't help it) for
X-Men: First Class and is a big fan of Kevin's career dating back to
Footloose. Mtv caught up with him while promoting the release of
Kick-Ass on DVD. Unfortunately Vaughn didn't reveal much, just that the character will have some very big moments in the story.
"I don't think it would be right to give that away, but he's really going for it," said Vaughn when asked about Bacon's character in the film. "He's really up for it, and he's going for it. I'm just thrilled that we could get him."
"He will surprise you," said Vaughn. "I'll put it that way: He will surprise you with the kind of things he will do in this movie. He's not going to be what you expect at all when you first meet him in the film, you will be surprised that it's him."
DogsOfWar-The veteran actor has been linked to a few notable villains with Sebastian Shaw looking the most likely. Mr. Sinister was another big character name thrown out early but has been dismissed by many. Vaughn appears to be working very hard to have lots of surprises in store. The script has been on lockdown and it has been widely reported that casting decisions may portray different characters than those announced.
