We know that CGI never fails to amaze us. Time and time again, Marvel exceeds our expectations but what is even more impressive is the magic they pull off WITHOUT using CGI. In this video we’re taking a look at how the makeup artists and prosthetics teams bring to life the out of this world and fantastical Marvel characters we all know and love. How was it for the actors who had to endure shooting in these restrictive and often hot costumes? How long did they have to sit in the makeup chair for?
The new Captain America is here and guess what? His costume isn’t any comfier than Chris Evans’ was! Which actors' makeup was so intense that it literally had to be melted off of them at the end of each day in a sauna to avoid damaging their skin too much?
What about how many people it took to get Brie Larson into her Captain Marvel costume? How about the amount of people it took to get her out of the costume enough just so she could go to the washroom? It is way more than you’d think. How about the fact that the beautiful gold dress that Ayesha wears is actually made almost ENTIRELY of metal?
For Karen Gillan, getting into character as Nebula wasn’t too hard to do since she had Nebula’s skin literally glued right onto her face! Yes, we said glued.
From incredible makeup to impressive costumes made out of not-so-friendly materials for the actors wearing them, we’re covering it all!

Woah interesting! Props to them!
-
Majority of MCU Actors performed their respective roles in an epic way
-
I mean ok, but they sign a contract and get paid to do this. They don’t get “forced” to do it. If the actors didn’t want to wear the costumes or play the characters, then they would not have signed the contract. It’s not forcing someone if they get paid. There whole job is to wear costumes and act.
-
I can't imagine sitting on a chair for hours, with people touching my face and body to apply makeup and prostetics. What a pain that must be.
-
Never cared much about the difficulties in makeups and costumes but woah this new perspective will make watching more interesting.
-
I didn't realize paying someone 10-20 million dollars was forcing them. If that's the case sign me up!
-
The things actors and actresses go through
-
They should have cosplayers on their staff. They’re the ones that know what materials are better at being lightweight and breathable since they recreate their favorite characters all the time. Have you’ve been to a Comic-Con? They’re awesome!
-
See this is why I love marvel. It’s really uncomfortable in tyre costumes but all of them manage to get through a 2 hour movie. Like if you agree.
-
Thank you marvel for being part of my life ❤️
-
"Forced" seems like a hard word to use. They signed a contract and like all hollywood actors they do this all the time not just Marvel Actors.
-
LOL "Forced To" you have any idea how awesome it would be to basically get paid millions to LARP on screen?
-
I LOVE TOM HIDDLESTON SO MUCH! i wish his outfit and helmet weren’t so heavy because i can’t imagine how sweaty he was. i love all of loki’s outfits!
-
You might as well say: "actors forced to play their role" for the next one :0 ✨ Shockers ✨
-
I actually read that while CGI was offered for Michael Chiklis when playing the Thing, he insisted on wearing a suit to make it more realistic since he’s such a big fan of the Fantastic 4
-
Why is Paul Bettany not here!?!? Like- he plays VISION!!!
-
Having been injured in a gas explosion I lost the majority of my sweat glands in my arms, so, my face ans body take up the slack and sweat more to reduce excess body heat, I know first hand what it is like, as, when I wear a costume it is profoundly uncomfortable especially as sweat continually runs into my eyes. I can use vaseline to stop that happening but then I have even less places to sweat from then my body has to find some other uncomfortable places to sweat from.
-
I always figured it takes a long time to put on and take off everything, especially going in the sauna to melt off the body makeup
-
Oh wow this is incredible i did not know that wow
-
these are things that actors sacrifice for the role itself, common sense
