The biggest issue “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” visual effects supervisors Jesse James Chisholm and Dave Hodgins had in building the robotic villain M.O.D.O.K. was getting the proportions right., the villain from the original “Ant-Man.” As audiences saw at the end of the first movie, his character Darren Cross is microscopically shrunk by Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang, causing massive amounts of damage to his body.

Mark Weinman played the character on set for principal photography and would wear a M.O.D.O.K. face rigged with a hula hoop that had Steadicam rigs and cameras so the team could maintain eyelines. Stoll says, “I had the dots on my face for the performance capture camera.” Aside from getting the proportion correct, the other challenge was animating M.O.D.O.K.’s movement. Hodgins says, “He’s this large mass, so we had to look at the idea of whether he’s going too fast or too slow. Does he look too light? And there was that eyeline issue, where is he looking?”
