ICYMI, IRL besties Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer are starring in a superhero movie together on Netflix called Thunder Force, and it looks awesome!
And it turns out filming superhero movies is a lot of fun — at least, according to McCarthy. She told Daily Pop she “loved training for stunts” in the movie, especially if she had to use a wire or a harness to pull off the trick.
"It was so stupidly fun," the actor shared. "When you get into that world [where] there're no limits, I'm like, 'Can I jump 12 feet?' It was like, 'You can jump 20.'"
McCarthy had the best reason for feeling confident while doing those moves, too: "Love a 20-year-old but, if you really want to get something done, do you go to the 20-year-old or do you go to a 45-year-old woman who's seen some stuff?" McCarthy said. "I'd go to that gal. She's gonna get it done."
In the film, McCarthy and Spencer play two middle-aged friends who become superheroes after one invents a formula that gives ordinary people superpowers.
