Funny (bloody) clip from James Gunn's 'Super'

James Gunn's "Super" should arrive in theaters next year, and a new bloody clip from the superhero comedy has landed online. It shows Rainn Wilson getting a little more violent than we are used to.

Ellen Page, Live Tyler and Kevin Bacon star in "Super," which I admit I'm very eager to see. I mean, what can go wrong with Wilson playing a dramatic role of a depressed guy who thinks he can be a superhero?

In Super, Frank’s (Wilson) wife leaves him for a seductive, psychopathic drug dealer (Kevin Bacon). Frank is transformed and the Crimson Bolt is born. He's a dude messing with those not respecting the law.

With a hand-made suit, a wrench, and a crazed sidekick named Boltie (Ellen Page), the Crimson Bolt beats his way through the mean streets of crime in hopes of saving his wife (Liv Tyler)! Enjoy the clip.
