These Green Screen Photos Show Us How the Magic Behind the Screen Is Created

Enough about the Hulk. Let’s not ignore all the other mind-blowing moments in The Avengers, brought to us courtesy of green screen magic. This action-packed movie has many death-defying moments, and no action film is complete without a solid explosion or several. However, in real life, explosions are hard to contain; it would be pretty bad to kill your actors.

Thankfully, our favorite Marvel superheroes were never placed in harm’s way. Instead, they just positioned themselves in front of a green screen and acted like an explosion was happening around them. That’s their job, after all! We wonder what day they learned that technique in acting school. “Okay, class, now pretend you’re shielding yourself from an explosion!”
