Garcia said, “Asking anyone to take the walk of building a physique that is a superhero physique, the time and the commitment is intense. The easy part for us — which is really interesting, because nothing’s easy — is that I have a passion for it. My husband has a passion for it. Dwayne has a passion for it. Henry has a passion for it.”

She added, “They love training. And when you’re playing a superhero, there is a truth to the authenticity of training, and to grow muscle. You actually care. There is a grind, there is a rebuilding. And that’s a very grounding experience. It’s a very disciplined experience.”

Further, she added how training to play a particular character one has to adapt it. This is the closest the stars get to their monicker. Also, she added, if the transformation doesn’t happen, it affects the film.
