With Comic-Con only two sleeps away, the publicity machine around the event is clicking into top gear. Comic-book actioner **Red **is back in the limelight with another two character banners to add to the ones we've already seen, via Imp Awards and courtesy of Summit Entertainment.

Poster boy - and girl - are Karl Urban and Mary-Louise Parker. The typically svelte Kiwi actor plays Agency man William Cooper, the assassin charged with tracking down Frank Moses, Bruce Willis' retired spook. Biiig mistake. Frank can call on fellow retirees boasting an unusually lethal skillset, including John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman and a .50 cal-wielding Helen Mirren.

Parker, meanwhile, is Frank's better half, Sarah, the woman he fights to protect. "The way they meet is just classic, lonely losers," she tells Superherohype. "She works for Social Security and he's calling to get his checks that he says he hasn't gotten. But actually — he has [them] and he just wants to call back and talk to her because she's friendly on the phone."
