When questioned about her biggest misconception about the making of an MCU movie, the actress responded that many of the things she assumed were not real were actually real and added:
I think that that’s because I made Guardians of the Galaxy with James Gunn. I haven’t made any other Marvel films, but, for instance, I couldn’t believe how much of the set is built.
Elizabeth Debicki went on to highlight the minimal use of CGI on actors, which surprised her given that this was a superhero movie, and added:
Once I found out my skin was gold, I thought, ‘Okay, but maybe we’ll just CGI it.’ It’s so muscular the way that James makes those films. People are really zipping around on harnesses, and the set is built, and everyone really looks like that
Elizabeth Debicki’s complimentary words for filmmaker James Gunn act as an omen for the upcomingSuperman: Legacy. Given the little usage of CGI, there is a sense of excitement that the filmmaker may do the same with the upcoming David Corenswet starrer to make it more credible and realistic for the audience.
