As if the cast ofAvengers: Infinity Warcouldn’t get any bigger, we now know yet another actor who’s part of the ensemble:Terry Notary. The film serves as a culmination of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far, bringing together nearly every major character from the entire MCU as they face off against the big bad Thanos. But Thanos won’t be alone in the film, and it appears that his buddies will also be visualized via motion-capture technology.
In an interview withTHR, Notary revealed that he’s inAvengers: Infinity War:
“I’m working on four characters right now. I’m working with Josh Brolin and three other actors [in Marvel’sAvengers:InfinityWar], and I’m playing Josh Brolin’s right hand bad guy in the film. I can’t say the name of the character or I think Marvel will sever my head, but I apply those same principals of what it means to drop bullshit and just play a character truly evil. And it’s working. [Laughs] It’s truly working.”
Notary is something of an expert in the field of motion-capture in movement, most recently working onKong: Skull Island. He served as the movement choreographer onThe Hobbitmovies and worked alongsideAndy Serkisto bring the apes inRise of the Planet of the ApesandDawn of the Planet of the Apesto life, filling the role of Rocket/Bright Eyes himself. He also had a role in last year’sWarcraft, and next to Serkis is one of the most accomplished motion-capture performers working today, so his expertise onAvengers: Infinity Waris no doubt welcome.
Marvel Studios presidentKevin Feigepreviously revealed that more than anyone else,Thanos is really the main characterofAvengers: Infinity War, so it’s possible Notary has a pretty big role to play as his right hand man. Filming is currently underway onInfinity Warand its untitled sequel in Atlanta, but we have to wait until June 24, 2025 before we actually see the thing.
