Set Photos That'll Change How You See MCU Movies

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

The Hulk is a nigh-unstoppable force, leaping tall buildings in a single bound and then smashing them for being in his way. His alter ego Bruce Banner, on the other hand, is pretty unremarkable in the physicality department, though he's undeniably movie genius-level smart. Obviously, Banner's actor, Mark Ruffalo, isn't an eight-foot-plus muscleman in real life, so a hefty dose of post-production CGI is required to bring Hulk to life on the big screen, a luxury not afforded to the actors during filming.

In 2017, Ruffalo shared a photo from the set of Thor: Ragnarok on his Instagram which illustrates this disparity well. In it, the actor, clad in a motion-capture suit, sits on Hulk's jawbone bed in his eclectically-furnished apartment in the Grandmaster's tower. Ruffalo is essentially dwarfed by his own costume, the tennis ball mounted on his back showing where Hulk's face will be in the final scene. Apparently cognizant of the vaguely humorous look of the picture, Ruffalo invited his followers to caption it, and quite a few fans obliged.
