Metro Man in Megamind

Brad Pitt's most recent film endeavor points to the cause of his changing star image. As the voice of Metro Man in Megamind, Brad Pitt debuts as a voice actor. In an interview with People Magazine, he says that a big motivation in his taking the role was for his kids. Family, comprised of Angelina Jolie and their six children, is his top priority. Compared with the screen shot from Inglourious Basterds, which was darker, this photo from Megamind, as a kid's movie is a lot more light-hearted. However, remnants of Brad Pitt's previous star image as a masculine sex symbol is still present. Playing a superhero, Brad Pitt's cartoon character is very muscular and strong. He also has a rakish attitude, with one raised eyebrow and a wide smile. His body positioning is also pretty carefree and cool, being positioned to one side. Below is a picture from the Paris premiere of Megamind, featuring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as they greet fans and paparazzi. This photo once again highlights the priorities of the new Brad Pitt: family.
