His role in the show, slated to be held next month, will require him to sing, dance and perform acrobatics.
Tora said Wednesday in Jakarta that he was more familiar with Western superheroes such as Superman, but his grandfather used to tell him stories about the Javanese hero said to possess superhuman strength.
“I think the biggest challenge so far is maintaining my circulation while wearing this armband,” he joked, referring to his elaborate costume.
