Avengers: Endgame lands on Blu-ray next week, and yet another batch of VFX stills have now been released. These provide some amazing before and after shots from the Marvel Studios movie and take us behind the scenes of a number of key sequences.
For example, we get to see Captain Marvel's new costume, Earth's Mightiest Heroes in outer space, and the scene in which Captain America goes head to head with his 2012 self
for the right to be America's Ass for the Mind Stone.
These are all really cool, and offer a fascinating look at how the biggest superhero movie of all-time was made. There are also some awesome wallpaper worthy shots of the movie's characters here.
So, to check out this entire gallery of images, all you have to do is hit the "View List" button!
Captain Marvel leads the charge as Earth's Mightiest Heroes hover over Titan II and attempt to formulate a plan to take down Thanos and bring the trillions who died back to life.
In this before and after shot, we see how the ship the team travelled in was enhanced with visual effects and outer space was added in the background. Sean Gunn is also replaced with Rocket!
This is a particularly interesting shot as we see how those effects surrounding Captain Marvel were created. We also see that some changes were made to the colour of the hero's costume.
With the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy dead and gone, Rocket was given the spotlight and pretty much became an Avenger as a result. Needless to say, he looked awesome in this movie.
Captain Marvel's costume has undergone some changes since her first appearance in the 1990s, but this suit didn't last particularly long as the 2023 version was obviously completely redesigned.
The Guardians' ship hovers over Titan II, and this is a gorgeous piece of imagery. Moments later, Thanos would be decapitated by Thor and that would set the 2014 version on his quest for revenge.
These revealing before and after images show how the battle between the two versions of Captain America was created. It was an impressive sequence and clearly not that easy to put together.
The team blasts into outer space here as the imagery introduced in
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 showing how spaceships essentially enter lightspeed made its return in
Avengers: Endgame.
Who would have guessed that Stormbreaker was entirely CGI? Then again, considering the fact that it passed right by Brie Larson's head, it's understandable that Marvel didn't want to risk anything!
