Max Steel Starring Taylor Lautner! It has a nice ring to it.

Paramount has hired Taylor Lautner as Max Steel.

Can you tell that this post was basically a reason to show a shirtless Taylor???

Who is Max Steel?

Josh McGrath was a 19-year-old fictional extreme sports teen star. After his parents die he is adopted by his father's best friend who works in an extreme sports manufacturing company. The company is just a front for a secret intelligence agency called N-Tek.

One day while Josh visits his stepfather a group of enemy agents attack the facility. While fighting Josh is hurt and exposed to microscopic nanomachines or "Nano Tech Max".  To save Josh's life his stepfather agrees to having Josh healed with to a high proportion of the transphasic energy (nicknamed "t-juice"). This saves his life and also gives him superpowers. As a result, Josh takes on the identity of Max Steel crime fighter!

Sounds like this could be the next superhero with Halloween costumes and action figure dolls.

Good luck Taylor. I hope they find a director soon.
