Fortress of Solitude Robot Steals the Spotlight with Unscripted Quip

According to a recent report, the new Superman film from director James Gunn, which launched the DC Universe on the big screen, featured a surprise comedic gem courtesy of actor Alan Tudyk. Tudyk, who voiced the Fortress of Solitude robot character "Four," apparently improvised a memorable line during filming that left co-star David Corenswet in stitches.

The article states that while many viewers consider Mr. Terrific to be the MVP of the film, the real standout may be the robot "Four." Tudyk, known for his ability to deliver some of the best lines in his films, apparently ad-libbed a suggestion that his character be named "Gary," which prompted a hilarious reaction from Corenswet. The actor's genuine laughter was captured on set, and the director had to call "cut" as Corenswet was unable to continue the scene.

Corenswet himself has praised the unplanned moment, saying it "made the movie." It's unclear if the line will remain in the final cut, but the article notes that the improv may land even better on screen given Four's lack of expressive capabilities, making Tudyk's subtle performance all the more impactful.
