Get a Closer Look at the VFX Behind Iron Man’s New Armor in Avengers: Infinity War

When we’re scrunched down in our chair, hands gripping the armrests in anticipation as Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Wong (Benedict Wong) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) confront Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) minions in New York in Avengers: Infinity War , we’re so focused on the action that we barely notice the seamless special effects that sell us on this being a real conflict between real characters on a real street.
