6. The Rock Doesn't Want A Padded Suit - Black Adam
When the time called for Dwayne Johnson to finally bulldoze his way into the DCEU as Black Adam, you had to know that the former WWE star would again put his everything into getting in typically ridiculous shape.
But in a development that most definitely didn't go down to well with The Great One on the back of said gruelling workout regime, the talented costume designers behind the incoming Warner Bros. feature pitched a suit which came with the usually accepted levels of additional super-padding.
Not content with all his hard graft being masked by the costume and openly declaring he "f***ing hate this costume", The Rock would tell Total Film:
"Everything was padded. So they immediately start tearing and cutting and ripping. When I put that costume on the second time with no padding, just cut in a way where it was enhancing the work that I had put in — I felt... I'm Black Adam."
