Movie sets are no place for fun. Although actors are known to let off steam every now and then, there is no denying that they are dangerous environments where a lot can go wrong very easily. This is especially true in action movies that feature various dangerous elements such as cranes, guns, weapons and much more. The set of Henry Cavils man of Steel was no different.
Since the film was a large-scale production by DC Studio about Superman, a lot could go wrong during filming. It seems like something terrible almost happened during the production of the film.
In an interview, Chris Meloni revealed that he almost shot his stunt double while filming the movie.

When actors play a character that is unlike them, they have to put in a lot of effort to make their portrayal as authentic as possible. This can range from learning a new accent to mastering a new craft. During the filming of man of SteelChris Meloni, who played the role of Colonel Nathan Hardy, had to follow a similar path.
During an interview with vulturehe revealed how he made his portrayal of a military officer as authentic as possible. Interestingly, he learned how to fly a helicopter in a military manner especially for the Henry Cavill film.
I think part of the whole superhero ethos or fantasy is that these special powers take you outside the confines of the norm, so you can say, “I want to go to Missouri right now.” Well, there you have it,
That’s within your abilities. But all the work and learning that goes into being able to fly competently, safely, well and understand the system, I think gives me superpowers because I’m using my brain again.
He revealed that this was how he was able to have superpowers in real life without having to be “specially gifted.” He used his mind to gain control of the skies and, now that he could fly, he could go anywhere he wanted.

During the interview, he revealed that one of his main priorities when learning this technique was to avoid accidentally injuring his stunt doubles. Interestingly, Meloni revealed that he almost shot someone while filming The 4000. man of Steel.
I just had to make sure I didn’t shoot my stuntman who was sitting next to me – which I almost did. One time I pulled the gun and it went off. It was loaded with blanks and it exploded and left a hole in the seat. They were cheap seats, so come on! And I didn’t hit him. He’s a stuntman, stop crying! Come on!
The actor revealed that he pulled out the gun at one point and ended up firing it. The misfire didn’t hurt anyone, but it left a hole in a seat and caused Meloni’s stuntman to cry a lot. It’s safe to say that this experience must have been a pretty interesting moment during the filming of the Henry Cavill movie.
Regard man of Steel to Max.
