Avengers: Doomsday production designer says 80% of interior set backdrops were practical as they didn't want to "presume you can always put it in visual effects"

Thunderbolts.

Avengers: Doomsday production designer Gavin Bocquet has recently revealed that the upcoming Marvel film uses a lot of physical set backdrops, admitting the use of blue screen has been "the default situation" for the franchise until now.

During an appearance on The Young Indy Chroniclers podcast, Bocquet started talking about the Thunderbolts* post-credit scene, which was filmed on one of Doomsday's sets built with physical backdrops. "The actors were coming in, almost saying: 'Well this is the first time we've been on a Marvel set where everything is in camera'. They were so used to having, 'Oh, we'll put the blue on the screen, we can put the ship in later'. So, wherever you looked, it was like, 'Ah that's interesting'," he recalled.
