To bring the characters of Marvel to life on the big screen, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has led the way in special and visual effects. Movies like "Captain America: Civil War" involved demanding stunts from cast members like Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson and their stunt doubles. "Captain Marvel" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" featured innovative de-aging work that allowed them to show actors Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell at different points in time. Meanwhile, the motion-capture breakthroughs in "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame" helped turn Josh Brolin's Thanos into a terrifying and memorable villain.
