Superman actor reveals embarrassing injury while filming stunt

by

Actor David Corenswet, who played Superman, has shared details about the most extraordinary injury he suffered while filming the movie.

The current Superman film, helmed by director James Gunn, is garnering positive responses thus far. Both critics and enthusiasts are commending various elements of the movie.

As a thrilled moviegoer, I can’t help but share the excitement over the record-breaking $215M global debut of this new release! A staggering $122 million of that came from the US alone during its opening weekend. This time, David Corenswet steps into the shoes of our beloved iconic hero, and I can’t wait to see him bring it to life on the big screen.

Yet, despite the high-speed, glitzy, and adrenaline-fueled sequences he successfully delivered in the movie, it transpired that he sustained a distressing and rather humiliating wound during production.

Superman actor details “wildest” injury from stunt

In the most recent installment of “Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test,” David Corenswet candidly discussed his injury. During this session, both he and his co-star Nicholas Hoult, who portrayed Lex Luthor, were connected to a polygraph machine while they alternated asking each other questions.

During the show, Hoult inquired from the latest actor portraying Superman about the most outrageous bruise he received, since he was mostly secured with a harness throughout filming to execute the action sequences.

Following this question, Corenswet straight up replied: “My right testicle.”

Despite the response being labeled as “unclear” or “inconclusive,” he playfully said, “It might have been my left,” accompanied by laughter.

He shared that there are videos of me being dragged through the sky. He described it as an awe-inspiring, grandiose instant.

As per the star’s observation, the setting for the event depicted in the trailer is located at the start or opening section, where he rises, breaks the glass, jumps through the broken window, and soars through the air.

In an exhilarating moment during the initial recording, I was struck by an enormous, dramatic blow, followed by a soaring flight through the air, and then, to put it mildly, a sudden discomfort below the belt.

Upon hearing it was true, Corenswet pointed out that he wouldn’t dare to fabricate such a thing. “It’s captured on screen,” he explained.
