Fury has two working eyes, a full head of hair and a (slightly) less cantankerous attitude: he’s a low-level S.H.I.E.L.D. bod, and this is his first glimpse of the bigger world out there. Jackson’s CGI facelift is hands-down the best example of digital de-aging yet seen in movies (more impressive even than co-star Clark Gregg’s […]

Of course, no Marvel Studios solo movie is ever really ‘solo,’ and Captain Marveloutfits its lead with one the most impressive supporting casts they’ve assembled, including Samuel L. Jackson delivering not just his best Nick Fury performance yet (the veteran spy as badass and witty as ever), but also doing his part to change cinematic […]

When a Starforce mission goes awry, Vers winds up back on Earth, where her arrival is investigated by a young S.H.I.E.L.D. agent named Nick Fury. He’s played, as in The Avengers and Iron Man franchises, by Samuel L. Jackson — only this time he’s been de-aged about 25 years with the help of special effects. […]

Larson and Jackson have terrific buddy-movie chemistry, whether they’re giving each other grief or covering each other’s behinds. We’ve seen “de-aging” technology before, e.g., Michael Douglas in “Ant-Man,” Kurt Russell in “Guardians Vol. 2” and Robert Downey Jr. in “Captain America: Civil War,” but the magic reaches new levels here. The 70-year-old Jackson and the […]

“I was like, ‘Oh, that will probably be like Negotiator face,’” Jackson told Yahoo Entertainment, referring to the 1998 thriller that had him squaring off against Kevin Spacey (watch above). “Which is probably what it was.” https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/samuel-l-jackson-reveals-mid90s-role-thinks-captain-marvel-de-aging-based-160008225.html  

The subject came up in an interview with ComicBook.com, which saw the actor discussing the upcoming Captain Marvel. Now that Jackson has been de-aged to assume the role of a young Nick Fury, the star was asked if he’d be open to depicting Mace Windu’s early years through a similar transformation. In his response, Jackson […]

To create the desired look, the filmmakers turned to visual effects supervisor Christopher Townsend, who previously assembled the de-aging looks for the earlier Avengers movies, alongside artists at the visual effects house Lola to transform Jackson and Gregg into what their characters might have looked like in the mid-’90s.   https://www.forbes.com/sites/adawson/2019/02/27/samuel-l-jackson-and-clark-gregg-de-aged-in-captain-marvel/#64002200487b

International Cinematographers Guild “[De-aging is] a painstaking, frame-by-frame manipulation of the image,” Townsend explains. “And since I’ve used them many times previously, Lola Visual Effects was our main go-to for that work. We spent a huge amount of time in preproduction determining how the younger Sam Jackson would look. That included what we could do […]
