Avengers: Endgame might’ve blown up box office records, but it still didn’t quite manage to reach the heights of ultimate perfection.
Josh Brolin’s villain Thanos was an amazing motion-capture creation and the visual effects team spent hours upon hours working on his appearance, yet it turns out an error slipped through undetected in the end that you might’ve missed.
Interviewed by Corridor Crew about the “bad and great CGI” throughout this MCU blockbuster, Weta Digital’s Matt Aitken addressed a mistake that saw Thanos’ finger bits clipping through his armoured glove.

“I wish we caught it at the time. It just goes to show there’s always a little bit more that you could do,” he said, adding, “But yeah, we were doing a lot of work on the armor.
“You don’t want to constrain what Josh was doing on set, you want him to be able to perform and you just have to make the armor work to that, so there’s a lot of sleight of hand going on: bending things that should be rigid.”
Considering the absolute genius of Thanos onscreen, we’ll let this one slide.
Meanwhile, it was revealed last summer that Endgame almost saw Thanos decapitate Chris Evans’ Captain America.
This just goes to prove how much movies change throughout the writing process, as fans will remember how Thanos himself was killed off in this exact manner in the final cut.
Avengers: Endgame is out now on DVD, Blu-ray, 3D, 4K and digital download.
