Oscar-winner Helen Mirren has revealed that she broke a finger filming her scenes in the upcoming superhero movie Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, Mirren said she opted to perform some of her own stunts making the movie, and she got hurt in the process.
“I was incredibly brave and didn’t say anything or complain because I wanted to be a real stunty person,” she said (via EW). Mirren plays the villain Hespera in the Shazam sequel.
That’s all Mirren had to say about her on-set injury for Fury of the Gods. Also in the interview, Mirren said she wanted to appear in the sequel because she loved the first movie, calling it “sweet and funny.” She was drawn to it despite not being a “big superhero type person,” Mirren said.
