“#Endgame<\/a> Almost Had Another Actor Play Old Captain America \u2013 \/Film<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"Old<\/a><\/p>\n

At the end of\u00a0Avengers: Endgame<\/em><\/strong>, Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America, AKA\u00a0Chris Evans<\/strong>, travel<\/a>s back in time and then shows up in the present as an old man. It\u2019s clearly Evans playing the older Cap, but the trickery involved was so impressive that it left some viewers wondering how the film pulled it off. Make-up? Digital trickery? A stand-in? In truth, the film used all three of those methods \u2013 there was an older actor used as a stand-in, Evans wore some make-up, and digital effects blended it all together. But according to co-star Anthony Mackie<\/strong>, the filmmakers actually considered using a completely different actor to play Old Cap.<\/p>\n

During an app<\/a>earance on\u00a0\u00a0The Jess Cagle<\/a><\/em> Show<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(via ScreenRant<\/a>), Anthony Mackie, who plays the Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will next be seen as the character on the Disney+ series<\/a>\u00a0The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em>, revealed some behind-the-scenes details about one of the closing scenes of\u00a0Avengers: Endgame<\/em>. The scene in question involves a much older Steve Rogers handing his shield off to Mackie\u2019s character.
\n\u201cSo they brought in like three actors [to play Old Cap],\u201d Mackie said of the scene. \u201cThey\u2019re like, none of these. Like, this isn\u2019t how Chris will look when he\u2019s old. Like, he\u2019s gonna [look] he\u2019s like George Clooney. He\u2019s going to be 95 and still like handsome, you know? So, they brought in a makeup team and prosthetics and makeup and made him into an old man. And how good of an actor Chris is, it actually worked. He pulled it off with his voice and everything. He did a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n

After\u00a0Endgame<\/em> hit theaters in 2019,\u00a0Marvel Visual Effects Producer Jen Underdahl<\/strong> talked to WIRED<\/a> about how the Old Cap scene was created. Underdahl revealed they cast a \u201cskin double\u201d (which sounds like something from a David Cronenberg movie), saying: \u201cWe then started casting for a skin double, looking around for an old guy who approximates the same face and age of Cap, or what Cap would be. We shot in the same lighting conditions right after Chris performs. He gives the same lines, he tries to emulate Chris\u2019 performance as much as possible so it doesn\u2019t take a whole lot of hammering when you put it on Chris\u2019 face.\u201d<\/p>\n

That double,\u00a0Patrick Goldman<\/strong>, actually posted a pic of himself in character on Instagram around the time of release.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the skin double, you also need to give him an older man\u2019s body, an older man\u2019s sort of overall profile,\u201d\u00a0Underdahl added. \u201cTo do so, we\u2019ll do an overall warp on his body and literally squish him down so he fits in the plate as this character.\u201d
\nAnd of course, Evans himself wore some make-up \u2013 something he confirmed on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then all of these different elements were blended together to create the version we saw in the finished film. Movie magic! And yes, because everyone else has said it already, I will point out that Old Cap looks a\u00a0lot<\/em> like Joe Biden.<\/p>\n
