Comic-Con Day 2: Megan Fox Sex Scene in Jonah Hex

Where the Wild Things Are was moving, the new Freddy Krueger rousing, but nobody expected the raucous panel that we got for the supernatural western Jonah Hex. Credit on the one hand went to star Josh Brolin, who was as cordially surly as his titular scarred cowboy – an act that went off especially well when Hall H’s curious characters came up to the microphone. He fired off deadpan quips left and right; when someone in the audience shouted “Goonies!” Brolin didn’t miss a beat. “Same character – he’s like Brand from the Goonies, except later.” At one point a polite, nerdish young man offered compliments; Brolin offered, “You’re so sweet. I wanted to make a joke but I just couldn’t,” before basically offering to adopt him.

But while the Jonah Hex panel was Brolin’s show, plenty of glee erupted after director Jimmy Hayward played a red band trailer that had just been cut. (Megan Fox had only shot her last scenes, he said, 48 hours earlier.)

Fans of the comic book will undoubtedly be pleased. The Jonah Hex trailer packed a lot in – voodoo, horses, explosions, more explosions, boats on fire, machine guns mounted on horses, Hex’s scary hole in the face, plenty of Megan Fox corseted cleavage, and two shots of a sex scene. Thanks to these glimpses in particular – Fox’s tattooed, naked back visible as she engages her much older co-star in the sack (yuck!) – expect that fanboy interest will not dwindle. You could practically hear the nerd drool hit the floor. Hence, plenty of audience questions took a specific interest in Fox.
