At the awesome.club we rewatch more than 20 brilliant films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe produced in the last decade, paying attention to how the protagonists changed on the screen, how they aged and the next moment regained their youth.

The transformations of Chris Evans’ character began to occur even in the movie Captain America: The First Avenger, where he went from a small and thin boy to a man with an athletic body. For scenes of this type, an alternate was used, whose body was digitally superimposed over Evans’ character. But in the new Avengers movie, Steve Rogers appears on screen as an old man, the result of the great work of the makeup artists.

Virtually all of Marvel’s superhero movies are interrelated, and the actors easily travel back in time from one movie to the next. Sometimes makeup artists participate in her makeover, but help from VFX professionals is often needed. For example, the character of Robert Downy Jr. in the movie Captain America: Civil War was transformed in about 20 years by the same specialists who once rejuvenated Brad Pitt into The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

In the new version of Avengers: Endgame, many characters experience changes in appearance, but the transformations that occur with the huge green monster also affect their personality. Finally, Mark Ruffalo’s character finds harmony with his inner beast and grows into a sweet, charming giant with a three-day beard, trendy glasses and a size 16XL cardigan.

Chris Hemsworth’s character over 8 years of filming has become unrecognizable. It seems that in the first film the makeup artists spent time lightening the hair, but in Avengers Thor’s eyebrows and beard darkened, while his hair grew even longer. Perhaps for this reason, Tony Stark nicknamed him Goldilocks. But his apparition transformation into Ultimatum surprised even the most devoted fans of Marvel movies. The beer belly and plump body of the god of thunder no one expected to see in the aftermath of Avengers🇧🇷

It’s hard to imagine how many hours visual effects specialists put into such painstaking work.

Captain America’s best friend Bucky is taken prisoner after an accident, his memory wiped and he becomes the Winter Soldier, with a bionic arm. Captain America helps him regain his memory, and doctors from the secret country of Wakand heal Barnes completely, who sided with the Avengers. In several episodes of the film, Sebastian’s real arm was “removed” using digital technologies.

In the movie The ant Man70-year-old Michael Douglas lost about 25 years in such a way that his example is still considered one of the best experiments in the field of visual effects in cinema.
