Marvel Actors Forced To Endure Prosthetic Makeup & Costumes
MCU Character Transformations Need Some Pretty Insane Costumes, Makeup And Prosthetics!
Subscribe: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Things
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!

Omg do you like Hamilton?!
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.
yea facts, but still kudos to them
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.
Arent u the one on most of the WWE videos ?
I think i would lose my mind!
If I'm getting paid 10 mil for it then sign me up
for a wopping 5 to 10 million dollars to do it for up to 5 months, i would sit in that chair letting them do w,e they wanted to me for double that time. and i bet you would too haha.
I didn't even like sitting in a chair for 15 minutes while make up was applied to me when i worked at a haunted house. The entire feeling is just gross and uncomfortable. But afterwards you look at it and go wow! Then can't WAIT to wash it off. lol
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!
You become the directors property they can do what they want to you. After they finish doing that you have to be the character. Nope not for me at any price. It would chip away at your sanity every movie you did. And you have to imagine whats happening all the time in front of green screens. Start at 3am finish at 3am 24 hours later and so on. Ian mckellan broke down in tears in front of the green screen when he was playing Dumbledor in Harry Potter, because he was so lost. It has to be imagined and after a lifetime of acting normally where he could see everything going on around him in the studio he struggled to adapt. Hats off to the movie actors of today.
@@amelianna6004 you always have a choice.
Exactly Bruh-
@@amelianna6004 Ian Mckellen didn't play Dumbledore in Harry Potter.
@@getsmarty7603 You are absolutely right, my brain switches things to keep me on my toes, or it hates me! It should have been that Ian McKellen played Gandalf in Lord of the Rings. Both wizards though, so I was close🙄😜
The things actors and actresses go through
Well they are not doing it for free
Yep
@@lalarasputin6247 yep
Oh I feel so bad for them having to sit and get paid millions
@@seabeast2438 ikr 😔
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!
The real suits do look better tho
yesssssssssssss
Makeup for movies is very different than cospley, it's done like that for a reason
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.
Except filming a 2hr movie take more than a couple of hours... More like 2 hours filming (goofs, re-shoots, edit, change lighting, touch make up,adjust to match look of previous shoot taken different day, etc) for like 10 minutes complete
Hello, how are you doing over there.
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!!!
He probably is the only one acting so convincingly, that they thought, Paul can actually simply shift shape for the role.
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
Yes and they get millions of money lol
Forced my aspirin! They get paid enough to endure the makeup part of it.
Vin Diesel after seeing this video, I am Groot.
Lol how many millions did he get from those lines! 😆
Crazy this how they get ready
I stood up for two hours for a friends sfx demo and I almost fainted the last hour locking your legs for so long makes you wanna faint so it’s wild that he lasted that long and still was able to work
Christian Bale told Ben Affleck to put it in his contract to require that his Batman suit has to let him go to the bathroom without anybody's help, because you don't feel like Batman when you need 4 people to help you go to the bathroom
The pain Marvel actors must go through it blows my mind 🤯
Forced to endure.. please, they make millions.
i just love how half of them are from the gaurdians of the galexy
They are well paid a good incentive.
Oh please, someone "force" me to do this for a few weeks or months out of my life and then pay me enough money for it that I never have to work again.
Oh my!
Imagine filming Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and walking onto set at like 5am and seeing Bautista, Zoe, Elizabeth, Karen, Pom, and Lee Pace all there while Chris arrives at like 8am
Interesting video as always 👌
Very interesting
1st I love this
Can you do a one with Loki?
No offence to Wyatt but Chris Evans will always be The only captain America
Holly Pommy!Pls Show mrs Pom more!
Muito legal otimo
imagine putting 3hours worth of makeup in their body only to be covered by their costume..
Amei o filme guardiões da galáxia vol.3 nossa muito maneiro recomendo pra quem não viu ainda pra assistir 😊
Wow that Will take forever
Once Iron Man"s helmet closes, RDJ is outta there.
They aren't forced to do that stuff. They get paid, quite well, to become those characters.
Makes me wonder how the in-universe characters are able to fight in these costumes.
Nice
Yeah they were forced to make millions in payment. What a tragedy.
What do they get in return? Tons of fans and money
the toothless chin of Cap is hilarious
7:30 Me, never seen a Marvel Movie: wait, Thranduil without long blonde hair? 😂
How did they put make-up on Drax
Cool
Forced my butt, what about the bucks they are hauling in for play acting? 🤣🤣🤣
Love these kinds of things
Hello, how are you doing over there.
Wow
Salute to these people! They are real superheroes.....
Johnny Walker is just Johnny, he cant be Steve👌. I love him tho even hes a bit brutal
As someone who wants to be an actor, my biggest fear isn't a long makeup process, it's needing to wear contacts. I have a huge fear of things being in my eye and just the idea of contact lenses makes me want to throw up
I'm amazed it only took 5 hours for Dave Batista's makeup. As an amature SFX artist, I can't imagine getting all that done....though I guess he had a whole team and premade prosthetics instead of out of kit shit so. Yeah I guess that makes sense
total pound for Tom hiddleston was 78
ACTOR BE LIKE : GOSH DANG IT I HAVE TO START IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
I really look up to them so much more now! I felt claustraphobic when i was watching them get their costumes and makeup on!! I cannot believe they can do all the movements they do, knowing how much pain they will be in. Those awful tight helmets must be so terrible, cant hear, can barely see in some of them, or huge black contact lenses. Those would be excruciating to wear for hours on end. Then getting hung up in the air in heavy plastic suits... It wod be so much more sustainable in brown paper bags...... 😂 Can you imagine?? .
Forced….at threat of huge paycheque and being incessantly coddled all day…must be absolutely terrible for them!
those contracts 🫣
Hear me: " I wanna be an actress" after seeing this I changed my mind💀☠
Karen Gillan played Amy Pond in Doctor Who
Nebula is cute😍
Wow!! I thought that Thor's belly was real 😂😂
Me too, there were no seams or changes between his skin and the prosthetic skin. I was positive he had to put the weight on.....till i googled it. He has that wheeze to his voice like he is out of shape and on a diet of whisky 🥃, vodka and gin 😂 i bought that completely. I was really sad that he lost all those lovely abs. 😭
@@amelianna6004 ss
Umm idk how u thought that even lol. There's no way a man would give up his great physique for this lol
Oh no they have to wear make up and prosthetics as described in their contracts they agreed to? What a social injustice!!! Rawr.
I feel bad for the actors who had to wear so much makeup 😢
And why they get paid so much money...it’s their job
Same
Dont worry they are getting paid 💷💷💷
Oh no, poor actors getting paid millions and have to put up with some make up.
The video was much better with the volume turned down
Focus on the love and happiness for today -stayhappylittle mermaid
Hello, how are you doing over there.
Can't believe they didn't mention Mystique!!
When i saw lee pace i immediately taught of thrandruil from the hobbit bc lee pace plays thrandruil in the hobbit and thrandruil is and elf king from Mirkwood and the father of Legolas
Imagine getting paid all that money and having to endure such pain. Id quit and get a job that requires only 8-12 hours of physical labor 5-6 days a week and pays alot less. Wait thats what I do now.
I really want to have Loki 👑.
I’m a simple person, I see Gamora, I click
Oof what a pain for most of em :edit I think drax has the worst of all
I've been on a 24 hour flight before.
My god, the Gaurdians of the Galaxy cast went thru hell.
coool
it would be NICE to play-dr.strange and scarlet witch...cmon who doesnt love magic-and comfortable costume
If I was getting paid millions I would have no problem sitting for hours
Dang
“Forced?” They were paid. Well paid.
I'm sure the $millions didn't make it more tolerable. Poor babies...
It may be a pain in the ass but they do get paid handsomely for doing it.
Vision left the chat
You missed one character spiderman
My DUMD Self Knowing I couldn't survive a minute in none of those costumes 🙃✋
Video: 30lbs + 8lbs =40lbs Me: ha claps* got im
This is all just Marvel actors from the Marvel movies with Avengers.
This is how they struggle for us to make us entertained....
The fantastic.four is a Xmen production
Their not forced they had the choice to audition for the role.
She’s pretty
WHAT IF CGI Didn’t exist?!?!
i am really excited for gorr the god butcher in thor love and thunder but i think they will not use cgi on him. only makeup😢😢
“Super claustrophobic.”
