Writer-director James Gunn's film centres on an average man (Rainn Wilson) who takes on the role of superhero Crimson Bolt, after his wife (Liv Tyler) falls under the influence of Bacon's villainous drug dealer.
Bacon's character Jacques is described as a smooth-talking criminal, according to Screen Daily.
"Kevin Bacon is one of the few actors nimble enough to give life to Jacques, our super-villain with a nice streak," Gunn said.
He added: "We need to love Jacques even while he's doing horrible things – Kevin is one of the only actors I know who can pull that off."
Super also stars Ellen Page and Sean Gunn.
