During the Superman shoot in Cleveland, Ohio, a stuntman was injured while filming a high-speed chase sequence on the Detroit-Superior Bridge yesterday.
Cleveland.com reported that the stuntman was riding a motorcycle when he “took a spill, clutching his knee as he hit the ground. The camera crew stopped filming as he was placed on a stretcher and put into an ambulance.”
Thankfully, it doesn’t appear to be life-threatening. The site confirms that “The stuntman received treatment for several minutes before the ambulance left the scene with him inside.”
His current condition is unknown, and there’s no word on whom he was doubling for. Given that he was dressed in black, it’s possible he was meant to be Rick Flag Sr. or another A.R.G.U.S. agent spotted on set recently.
As for the scene being shot, it’s said, “The stuntman rehearsed the scene several times without incident. In the action, he and another stuntperson on a motorcycle are fleeing Metropolis on the bridge at a high rate of speed when one of them causes a staged collision between six cars.”
Production was paused for roughly 40 minutes before cameras started rolling again.
Work has resumed today, though there’s still no sign of Superman’s cast. Filmmaker James Gunn is on set, suggesting these scenes will be an important part of his upcoming reboot.
Whether this means we’ve seen the last of the movie’s costumed heroes remains to be seen. However, we’re hopeful that the Man of Steel will make an appearance in the coming days.
Next up is Progressive Field, which, based on what we’ve heard from the set, is being transformed into “LordTech Field.”
Yesterday afternoon, stuntmen were spotted rehearsing a scene showing Superman battling an unknown foe in the air before dragging them face-first across the baseball stadium’s ground.
