David Corenswet left with 'wildest bruise' on testicle while filming Superman
David Corenswet badly bruised his testicle while flying through the air in Superman.
David Corenswet got the "wildest bruise" on his "right testicle" while filming Superman.
Taking part in Vanity Fair's Lie Detector Test series, his co-star Nicholas Hoult quizzed him on the “wildest bruise" he got from the harness he used for the superhero blockbuster's flying scenes, to which Corenswet replied: “My right testicle.“
The test rendered his answer “inconclusive" at first before he went into detail about the injury.
He shared: “There’s footage from filming of me getting pulled through the air. It’s this wonderful epic moment, it’s in the trailer. In the beginning of it where I stand up and punch the glass out and then I leap out the window and fly through the air.
“And the first take of that, it’s this big epic punch and a leap through the air and then just, ‘my testicle.'”
The polygraph professional confirmed he was telling the truth, with Corenswet responding: “Oh yeah, I couldn’t lie about that, it’s on film.“
Meanwhile, director James Gunn has teased his next DC Universe (DCU) project will feature Corenswet’s Superman.
The filmmaker insisted it won’t be a direct sequel to the film, but it will see the return of Corenswet’s Man of Steel.
Speaking with Omelete, Gunn said: “[Corenswet] was asking me what I was working on ... He knows that I'm working on something. He knows he's a part of it. He doesn't know what it is … literally nothing.”
Superman follows Clark Kent (Corenswet) as he struggles to balance his human life with his Kryptonian heritage, while facing a new threat from Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult).
The blockbuster also introduces other DC heroes, including Guy Gardner's Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi).
