Grown Up Fan Films: On the Set Of X-Men and Wolverine XXX
More than a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the combined sets of Axel Braun Production’s latest super hero projects, Wolverine XXX and X-Men XXX.
Skin readies the Danger Room… for pleasure!
Many people have a certain idea of what being on a porn set is like. From what I’ve determined from various sources, there’s sex all-the-time-everywhere-in-every-hole-everybody’s-just-fucking-everybody and the amount of cocaine placed on each table rivals the peaks of Disney’s Matterhorn.
Having now been on a number of porn sets for various projects (and sometimes purely entertainment purposes), I’ve yet to ski down powdery white slopes or witness gratuitous sex in dark corners. (Is there such thing as gratuitous sex? Let me know.)
Fantasies = shattered. I hope that one day you can forgive me.

What I did find on the set was a desperate need for thick blankets, as most of the talent (and some of the crew) retreated between shots into the make-up room where one of the sole heaters was blasting.
I also found that some filming locations have permanent sets. This one had, among many things, a maternity ward (complete with boxes of plastic babies), a morgue, and a very scary room that contained only a rather intimidating gyno chair, which, one of the girls remarked in passing, had been used for a scene in a different adult movie.
During the time I was there, when I wasn’t hiding in the make-up room talking to various talent or taking photos for this article (which was quite fun, by the way), I was able to watch a threeway scene between Deadpool (Derrick Pierce), Spider-man (Xander Corvus), and Rogue (Allie Haze).
Ms. Allie Haze as the previously untouchable Rogue.
Before you freak out in a bout of nerd rage, I promise you that I did quiz the screenwriter on this apparent impossible feat and there is a perfectly logical explanation as to why Deadpool and Spider-man can touch (ream, really) Rogue without, you know, dying. But you’ll have to watch the movie to find out, as I would simply hate to spoil the plot for you. But try to calm yourselves in the meantime.
Xander Corvus has this pose down.
(Also, did anyone else go: “Huh. Derrick Pierce. Deadpool. I wonder what else starts with ‘DP'”? Or was that just me and my own sexual fantasies manifesting via text? Probably.)
Dark, brooding, and totally insane. Oh, Deadpool, you hit all my buttons.
I also was able to watch the filming of the Danger Room’s control room, when Wolverine (Tommy Gunn) is introduced to the Institute by Professor X (Mike Moz) and meets Storm (Skin). I will do my best not to mention the incredibly silly pictures that I took which will not be released of the charming Mr. Gunn holding a baby doll while Skin stands by looking absolutely shocked.
Danger Room. Being Filmed. Like a badass.
I left before Axel Braun’s contract girl, Aiden Ashley, did her scene for the evening as Domino for Wolverine XXX. Aiden recently signed on to perform boy/girl scenes exclusively for ABP, as she has, until recently only agreed to girl/girl, making this a decently big step for her in the world of porn.
She’s planning on killing you… tomorrow.
While she was sitting in the make-up chair, I had a chance to chat with her about her role as Domino. When she first announced her casting as the probability-altering mutant, she told me, fans immediately began to respond, demanding that she do the research for the part of such a surprisingly loved character. She bought every comic book she could find with Domino and read every one of them, but she only brought Yost and Kyle’s Sex and Violence with her to set and grinned at me as she told me it was her favorite.
It was fascinating to be able to watch the characters come to life, to watch Domino’s spot be applied, to see Spider-man suit up for the first time that day, and follow Professor Xavier as he wheeled around the set (when the chair was not hijacked by other members of cast and crew and maybe– just maybe– this article’s author).
Oh, baby, that’s the spot! (*rimshot*)
Over the days of the filming for these two movies, other characters came in, though I was unable to attend their scenes. However, I have been told that we will be seeing Evan Stone as Sabretooth, Billy Glyde as Colossus, Chanel Preston as Polaris, Andy San Dimas as Jean Grey, and Katie St. Ives as Kitty Pride. Definitely not a bad selection of characters, in my opinion.
I’ve nothing funny to say. Skin’s really rather gorgeous.
I left the set late in the evening, but filming continued on for several more hours– twelve to sixteen hour days seem to be fairly common in the world of porn, though I’ve heard of, and witnessed, longer. Double-entendre not intentional, just so you know.
His hair is pointy, his sideburns are thick, and his eyebrows are angry. It must be Tuesday.
While neither X-Men XXX or Wolverine XXX has a release date as of yet, keep an eye out for these two additions to Vivid’s collection of adult superhero movies directed by Axel Braun.
