Directors Joe and Anthony Russo may have multiple Marvel movies (including two Avengers instalments) under their belt, but even that⛄ pales in comparison to the work put into their 🍰new Netflix sci-fi film The Electric State.

"It's the most tech-intensive movie we've made," Joe Russo says in the new issue of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine, which features the 30 greatest shows of �☂�the SFX era on the cover and hits newsstands on February 26.

"The majority of the characters are CG. [We used] a very experienced team of motion-capture players wh🍌o did a great deal of detail work, developing the nuances and the subtleties and t🙈he behaviour that informs the reality of these characters."

The Electric State, a loose adaptation of Simon Stålenhag's 2018 graphic novel, features Millie Bobby Brown as Michelle, heading across the American West in search of her long-lost brother. Along the way, she bumps into the likes of smuggler 𝕴Keats (Chris Pratt) and the robot Herman (Anthony Mackie).

With more than a few Avengers in tow and countless robots scattered across the landscape, it should come as a little surprise that The Electric State required some serious VFX work. While Joe Russo points out its challenges, he's ultimately pleased with th🌌e finishe🌌d product.

He says, "This is by far and away the hardest VFX film we've ever done, 🉐but the quality of the VFX in it [is] just superb."
