The Marvel cinematic universe has grown exponentially in the last couple of years, and sometimes it really felt like the only movies coming out in cinemas were Avengers and their sequels. But we’re not complaining, those movies were great, and we got so used to the characters in them we actually started caring about them even if their part wasn’t the biggest one. What’s interesting is that while the main cast of characters is easily recognizable and we can tell what actors play them, there are a lot of those who hide behind masks or spend hours in makeup and come out looking phenomenal yet almost unrecognizable. Today we thought we’d show you what some of the actors who play these fantastic characters look like.

1.
Josh Brolin – Thanos

Everyone knows the biggest villain in Avengers – Thanos. Did you know that in 2012 Thanos was actually played by a stuntman, but later on, Josh Brolin took over the part and made it his own. And interestingly enough Josh doesn’t have to spend ages in makeup to look the part, in fact, it’s kind of the other way round. They used special editing software and obviously a lot of CGI to digitally make Thanos look a bit like Josh. That’s right, the appearance of Thanos is actually based on Josh’s facial features.

Zoe Saldana – Gamora

While Zoe kept most of her facial features as Gamora, she definitely doesn’t look like that in real life. And unlike the guy who played Thanos, Zoe actually has to spend around 5 hours in a makeup chair every day, while makeup artists color her green and make her look the alien part that she plays. Can you imagine her wakeup time on set? It must be exhausting, and that’s before you even get to do any acting.

Karen Gillan – Nebula

You might actually know Karen Gillan outside of the Marvel Universe. She did spend years playing Amy Pond, the Doctor’s companion on BBC’s hit show Doctor Who. And while she’s known for her Scottish accent and naturally ginger hair, she’s had to give up both for the role of Nebula. Karen has had to shave her head, speak in an American accent and spend 4 hours in makeup every day to look like Nebula. Oh and taking off that body makeup also took a crew of people and about half an hour.

Pom Klementieff – Mantis

We bet you didn’t
know that the actress who played Mantis was actually French. She’s
had to undergo quite a transformation for the role. And we’re not
just talking costume and prosthetics, she had to wear these massive
black lenses in her eyes every time she was on camera. That’s gotta
be uncomfortable. But hey, she got to be in a Marvel movie, which
seems like it’s worth it.
