Despite some critics of the decision, Sony is moving forward with what may be the most unlikely superhero movie yet: The Green Hornet... starring Seth Rogen.

The Knocked Up actor will portray Britt Reid, a bored playboy who inherits his father's crusading newspaper and spends his nights fighting crime with his sidekick, Kato.

Rogen is also writing the film's script, alongside Evan Goldberg (they co-wrote Superbad together); The Green Hornet is due in theaters on June 25, 2010.
