Marvel Studios Is Casting Alien Extras For AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
A casting call for Avengers: Infinity War has found its way online today, and it appears as if we're definitely going to explore the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe as extras are needed to play aliens...
With Earth's Mightiest Heroes (and the Guardians of the Galaxy) set to take on Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, it should come as no surprise to learn that aliens will be making an appearance in the highly anticipated release. What race they will be remains to be seen, but regardless of whether they visit Earth or the action takes place in outer space, we now know they'll somehow factor into the film.
How? Well, Project Casting has put out a notice for alien extras along with the following description:
"Aliens: We are now taking submissions to be considered for a fun background role on this upcoming movie. Looking for men and women, all ethnicities, who appear 18 – 50’s, who are TALL with a SLENDER or athletic build. MUST be comfortable being PAINTED (including on your face & any exposed body parts). Also looking for people willing to have prosthetics applied to their face, in addition to being painted. Bumps will be provided for makeup & prosthetic applications."
The Chitauri were brought to life via motion capture in The Avengers, but these aliens will be brought to life practically with body paint. Them needing to be tall and slender doesn't reveal much, but it sounds like they will mostly be humanoid in appearance (though that depends on the amount of prosthetics which are applied to the faces of the extras). Do you have any theories on who or what these aliens will be in Avengers: Infinity War? As always, let us know in the comments section below.
