Brandon Routh has signed up for another comic book adapation, but he can leave his cape at home this time.

"Pilgrim centers on young slacker Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), who meets the woman of his dreams (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) but finds he can win her heart only by battling and defeating her seven evil ex-boyfriends.” Routh is evil boyfriend number three, “a rocker with vegan psychic powers.” Hmm, maybe he does wear a cape after all.
