Actor Noah Centineo reveals how he had to get his Atom Smasher costume surgically opened after getting hurt on the set of Black Adam.
The Black Adam Atom Smasher
During production of Black Adam, Noah Centineo was injured and required the costume from Atom Smasher to be sliced open due to the severity of the wound.
Black Adam, the latest anti-hero prepared to reset the DC Universe's current structure, will soon be introduced to audiences in the DC Extended Universe.
Dwayne Johnson will play the title role in Black Adam, and the film features an impressive supporting ensemble that also includes Pierce Brosnan, Viola Davis, Aldis Hodge, and Quintessa Swindell.
In Black Adam, we'll learn how the wizard Shazam bestows on the comic book hero Black Adam the abilities of the Egyptian gods.
In addition to this, the film will introduce the Justice Society of America, a formidable superhero team lead by Brosnan's Dr. Fate.
To All the Boys I've Loved Before will be portrayed in a movie.
Centineo has previously starred as Atom Smasher, a member of the Justice Society of America with extraordinary strength and the ability to modify his size by adjusting his molecular structure.
This is connected to how Black Adam's Justice Society muddles the DCEU timeline.
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Centineo discussed an experience he had while filming Black Adam.
The actor revealed that he had to be taken out of his skintight costume for a hilarious take during an action sequence because he had dislocated his arm.
Then Centineo hilariously described how, after thirteen tries, he finally got his arm back into its socket, only to dislocate it again in his elation.
You can read the whole of Centineo's quote down here.
Everything's covered, right? It's 100 degrees outside and Atlanta is humid, so of course you're going to wear your full uniform.
Complete skin coverage may look awesome, but it's not practical for running wind sprints.
They asked if we could do one more take after we had already completed six, and I replied, "Sure, why not?"
Count me in
You only have a limited number of opportunities to experience this in your lifetime.
So I'm running and thinking, "this time let's make it funny, let me try and make it funny," so I run off the curb, there's a parked car, and I pretend to hit my knee on the parked car as I run, then I spin around like, "argh!" like, "that hurt," and my arm goes up and then dislocates, like fully out-of-socket, and I'm like, "it'll go back in, hold on,
You can't put it back where it came from.
My current state of mind is "hang on, stop stop stop."
Keep in mind that the outfit fits like a glove, so snugly that they seem concerned.
I yelled, "My arms are out of their sockets!" and they came down to attempt to put them back in, but it wasn't happening. They eventually had to cut the suit open.
In the meantime, I sat there thinking, "I can't believe this; this is hilarious." as they open it and then remove it.
After thirteen failed attempts and a foot pressed firmly into my armpit followed by a man's push from behind, it went back in properly, and I threw my arms in the air, shouting, "IT WENT BACK IN!"
My dislocated shoulder keeps happening every time I throw my arm in the air.
When I said, "Fire in the hole!" they said, "Let's do it again."
On the third try, they succeeded, and the part was reinserted.
Although Centineo's involvement in the film's promotional push has left some questions unanswered about Atom Smasher's precise position in the events of Black Adam, it is assumed that the character will play a significant role.
Actor Noah Centineo has said that his character, Atom Smasher, is in a "transitional phase" in Black Adam, and director Jaume Collet-Serra has said that the film will follow the JSA as they try to keep this new anti-hero under control, so it's not surprising that Centineo's character will be uncertain of his place within the JSA.
It's possible that Centineo's hero's introduction to Black Adam's anti-hero methods will have an effect on the simmering internal struggle, given the character's somewhat detailed biography and the fact that Atom Smasher appears in several action-packed moments.
Though it's good news that Centineo has made a full recovery from his wounds, it's still entertaining to learn about the young actor's antics on set, even if they may have cost the wardrobe department a suit.
Several Black Adam trailers have included Atom Smasher in what appear to be thrilling action scenes, but it is unclear what role he will play in the film as a whole.
It's reasonable to suppose that, going forward, Centineo will exercise a modicum of caution whenever he attempts a comedic perspective.
