  • Superbad is one of the best coming-of-age films of the 21st century, and it also helped kick-start the careers of many of its cast members, as stars Jonah Hill and Emma Stone are critically acclaimed actors today.
    Another actor that gained prominence in Hollywood from the hit movie was Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who played the hilarious and iconic character Fogell aka McLovin. Mintz-Plasse continued to star in comedy movies after his success in Superbad, but we haven't heard much from him recently.
    He is best known for his roles in Kick-Ass, Pitch Perfect, and The To Do List, but why haven’t we heard from the hilarious actor recently? Here’s why Hollywood dumped Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

      He is far too short. Cyclops is like 6 foot plus. Now, he could do Wolverine, as he is either, I forget, 5’1” or 5’3”. I’d be down for that. But then again, aside from maybe Mojovision, the Phalanx , or the Legacy Virus maybe…or an ACTUAL telling of Marvel’s best story line ever, the Phoenix and Dark Phoenix saga, which they just made a mockery of TWICE ALREADY so I doubt they would take it up again, the POS…left out the entire story from the space station break in, Moira McTaggert trying to cure Jean, the Shi’ar, the the Kree and the Skrull races, the Hellfire Club, Mastermind, Banshee, Erik the Red, Lady Deathstryke, the Morlocks, the Guardians of the Galaxy, all that stuff that would be needed to tell the story and in at LEAST 2 parts, but Marvels best stories are DONE now. So don’t see any of that happening. Oh also Omega Red or Sauron, Sinister, Zaladane, Cyclops and Jean in the Savage Land would be good, but I can’t imagine making a live action version of such comic book stories!
