So, we had to fly in Hemsworth and Taika Waititi word was getting out from Australia, 'You guys understand what we're doing with this movie?' We're like, 'No, I don't know what you mean. As McFeely recalled: "Remember, we were inheriting a Thor from Ragnarok who was very well and radically re-toned from the previous Avengers movies. While the revitalization of Chris Hemsworth's character at the hands of director Taika Waititi was well-received (for the most part), it also posed a problem for Avengers: Endgame writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, as they had to depict Thor in their own special way for Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Endgame. The events of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) marked a notable shift in how the Marvel Cinematic Universe's God of Thunder was depicted compared to his earlier appearances. The decision to use CGI costumes speaks to Hollywood's larger production trends on tentpoles, where release dates are set in advance and any delay in filming could be a nightmare for release. When you saw her at the beginning, as she's rescuing Tony Stark, when you see her come back, when she's talking to Nat in the Avengers compound, with Rocket and Nebula, and then in the final battle when she comes back and kind of saves the day, that's all the digital suit." Creating digital costume is one of the reasons "Endgame" contains more VFX shots than most contemporary comic book films. Again, the designs for those suits were not ready in time for us to photograph Brie.

"Her suit, every time you see it in the movie, when she's in her full costume, is digital. We knew we were going to build them anyway, since they had to 'nano' on and off with Tony's tech, and it ended up being that the costume department didn't have time to develop, fit, and fabricate all the costumes for those hero characters, so we ended up doing them digitally." The VFX team also had to digitally create Captain Marvel's full costume any time the Brie Larson superhero appears in "Endgame." Larson shot her scenes for "Endgame" because she was starting production on her standalone Captain Marvel (2019) movie, so the costume designers on that film were still figuring out the specifics of her costume when production on "Endgame" got underway. "By the time we got a final version, we were already in principal photography. That took quite a while for us to land on," Underdahl said. "The time suits are a combination of Ant-Man, Tony Stark, and Guardians tech. Waiting for the costume designers to finalize the suits was not an option. "Endgame" was shot back-to-back with Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and the production had a tight schedule in order to meet the film's April 2019 release date.

"Endgame" VFX producer Jen Underdahl reveals as much in a WIRED documentary about the extensive special effects work that went into the Marvel movie (via ScreenRant). It was really exciting and just feeling the energy of bringing this new, really important character into that world, and getting a sense of where she was going to go and how important she was going to be before making our film was really, really amazing."Īll of the Quantum Realm suits worn in "Endgame" are VFX creations because the film's production had to start before the costume design team could finalize what the suits would look like. We saw the first time that she tried on that Captain Marvel costume. And we were on set with Brie for her first day of shooting in Atlanta. But, you know, it was a really nice introduction into that world because the Russo brothers have been working with Marvel for so many years, and had already made a couple of our favorite Marvel films at that point. " shared the script with us, we shared ours with them, and we each gave each other feedback on them, so it was a very fluid approach to the character." Boden added "They did shoot with her before and after she shot with us.
"Just to clarify, we were actually shooting simultaneously," Fleck revealed. In an interview with CinemaBlend, they talked about the experience. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the co-directors of Captain Marvel, were present on-set during the filming of her scenes to ensure consistency of portrayal. The scene at Avenger's Headquarters was Brie Larson's first day on set as Carol Danvers. Even though Captain Marvel (2019) was released one month before this film, Brie Larson shot her scenes for this movie first.
