Mon-El actor Chris Wooden recollects the foolish “stunt” that resulted in him breaking his jaw whereas filming Supergirl. The Arrowverse sequence has loved a long term, however it is going to be coming to an finish very quickly. Supergirl, which stars Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers, began out on CBS earlier than shifting to The CW for season 2. In the course of the present’s 6-season run, Supergirl has confronted numerous enemies and teamed up with fellow Arrowverse heroes like The Flash (Grant Gustin) and Batwoman (Ruby Rose). The sixth and remaining season is at the moment airing and can conclude in November.
Supergirl has featured a large and eclectic group of characters through the years, however some are extra memorable than others. Some of the controversial is probably Mon-El, a Daxamite prince who joined the sequence in its second season. Mon-El initially hid his royal heritage from Kara, however after they shaped a romantic relationship, he got here clear. Wooden remained a sequence common on Supergirl for two seasons earlier than departing, although he is come again a number of occasions as a visitor star. He’ll even be amongst these returning for the sequence finale, together with Jeremy Jordan (Winn Schott) and Mehcad Brooks (Jimmy Olsen).
Throughout this weekend’s DC FanDome occasion, Supergirl acquired a particular farewell panel that includes the complete forged. When wanting again on a few of the wildest stunts from the present, Wooden talked about a scene from season 2 when he needed to chew into 10 pancakes without delay. His castmates have been fast to giggle, however Wooden identified that it wasn’t all that humorous as a result of “my jaw form of dislocated a little bit bit.” The Supergirl forged additionally teased him for deeming it a stunt, however he defended the qualification. “It was a giant stack of pancakes and I used to be like, ‘Oh, that is gonna be so humorous,’ after which my jaw went like,” Wooden stated earlier than demonstrating the painful second.
Accidents on the set of a superhero manufacturing aren’t unusual, and the Arrowverse itself is not any stranger to those sorts of incidents. Earlier than departing Batwoman, Rose needed to get emergency surgical procedure after sustaining a neck harm on set. When contemplating that instance, Wooden’s Supergirl expertise is not as drastic. Nonetheless, a dislocated jaw is much from enjoyable, and to have it occur throughout an innocuous kitchen scene in all probability got here as fairly a shock.
Whereas Supergirl‘s finish is bittersweet for the followers and those that labored on the present, there are some causes as to why that is the proper time to conclude it. Kara has been on fairly the journey over these previous 6 seasons, and hopefully she’ll exit on a excessive notice. For her half, Benoist admitted through the DC FanDome panel that she is going to miss enjoying a superhero, although she’d stated earlier than that she is not going to be sorry to go away Supergirl‘s flying scenes behind. This forged has endured loads of bumps and bruises, however now they’ll relaxation and content material themselves with a job effectively completed.
