David Corenswet, the new 'Superman', recently revealed he got injured during a wild action scene on the 2025 DC set. The actor, currently starring alongside Nicholas Hoult in 'Superman', shared that he bruised his groin—specifically his right testicle—during a wire stunt while shooting one of the film’s major action sequences.
In a video interview with Vanity Fair, David Corenswet explained that the mishap occurred during a moment where Superman smashes through a glass wall and soars into the sky. As he was launched through the air in a harness, the intense force of the movement caused the painful injury. The moment, as he noted, was captured on film and even appears briefly in the trailer.
The scene is part of a dramatic sequence where Superman breaks out of a high-tech prison designed by villain Lex Luthor, played by Hoult. The prison was built to contain Superman and other powerful adversaries, and the breakout is a key turning point in the film’s storyline.

Despite the discomfort, David Corenswet took the incident in stride and even laughed about it with his co-star during the interview. Hoult joked about wanting to ask more questions but wasn’t quite sure how far to go, making for a lighthearted moment in their promotional appearance.
David Corenswet Opens Up About Wearing 'Superman' Suit
Corenswet confessed that squeezing into the Superman suit was one of the job's biggest challenges. He mentioned that the tight costume traps heat, leading to a "steamy" experience on set. The lack of a convenient zipper, he added, made breaks more complicated than expected.

The film, directed by James Gunn, reimagines the superhero’s conflict with Lex Luthor, who turns the public against Superman after he intervenes in a near-war between two fictional nations. The movie blends political intrigue with explosive action and a fresh emotional depth.
'Superman' is now playing in theatres and continues to draw attention for both its powerful performances and behind-the-scenes stories like Corenswet’s unexpected stunt injury.
