“I’m working, I’m putting my blood,
sweat and tears into this movie.”
This year, adult performer Kenzie Taylor underwent a transformation, morphing from Gonzo Girl to
Wicked Superhero. The curvy blonde, who’s been in the business since 2015, finally got her shot at a
major feature movie, taking on the lead in Captain Marvel: An Axel Braun Parody.
“This is the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my entire career so far,” Taylor says about the Wicked
Pictures project, to be released at the end of September. She was selected from more than 120
hopefuls who submitted an audition tape to play Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel.
Braun seems more than happy with his choice. “People will be very surprised. She’s known for being
a gonzo girl—she does really great sex scenes.” Now that she has a chance to show off her acting,
Braun says fans will see “her comedic timing, her sense of humor. We have dramatic moments too. I
mean, she is really, really incredible.”
Braun “wanted to do something special” for his sixtieth parody. “With the costumes, I went crazy,” he
says, creating two versions of two outfits: one for sex and one for dialogue. “Makeup wise and costume
wise, it’s the most elaborate and intricate thing I’ve ever dealt with,” he says.
Taylor recalls, “The suit was specifically fitted right to my body, so it’s very tight and the heels are
actually nine inches and they’re built into my costume.” Just getting the suit on required the help of two
other people, she says. “It looks amazing. I got the walking down, but when I was running and stuff it
took me a little bit of practice.”
She got comfortable enough to shoot a fighting scene with Quinton James, who plays her nemesis,
Yon-Rogg. “That was pretty amazing—we were actually sparring. We had a lot of fun.”
Taylor is thoroughly grateful for the opportunity. “I’m taking it very seriously. I’m working, I’m putting
my blood, sweat and tears into this movie. ... This is my showcase. I’m in every single sex scene,” she
says, “Whether people like it or not, I just know I did everything that I could. I’m happy with that.”
