The more we see of Malin Akerman in the role of Watchmen's Silk Spectre, the more excited we are for this movie.

But does the actress herself feel as passionately about her tight-fitting costume in the film as we do?

“It was really interesting,” Akerman told MTV of the Silk Spectre outfit. “You know, latex sticks to your body, it sticks like a glove. The funny thing about it is because the costume was so revealing and so form fitting; we went through a few fittings just trying to get bubbles out.

There’s all these issues that you never expect because it’s not very often that you make costumes out of latex. We had a professional that works with latex all the time trying to help us out. It was an interesting process and the outcome was beautiful but uncomfortable [laughs].”

We might go see Watchmen for Silk Spectre alone.

Malin Akerman may have gotten a lot of attention for her role in 27 Dresses alongside Katherine Heigl.

But that's nothing compared to the hype she and her co-stars will soon start receiving for their parts in Watchmen, the highly-anticipated movie version of the beloved DC Comic.

Akerman takes on the role of Silk Spectre in the film, a super hero forced into the world of spandex by her parents. She recently talked to Entertainment Weekly about the character:

"She has to go through that journey of finding herself," Akerman said.

As for Silk Spectre's costume?

"[It] was like wearing a wet bathing suit with a cinched corset," Akerman said of the skin-clinching tights, giving guys yet another reason to go see Watchmen.
