Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Goose on the Las Vegas Sphere for ‘THE MARVELS’.
“Collaborating with Autodesk on The Marvels activation has been an amazing experience,” says Jocelyn Birsch, director of experience at The Mill, which also created the visual collage, using sampled film clips of Elvis Presley, that plays during U2’s current residency at Sphere.
Since opening in late September, Sphere debuted two shows: U2 residency U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere and Darren Aronofsky-helmed movie Postcard from Earth.
The promo is a collaboration between software developer Autodesk and Marvel, and begins with Goose in its cat form, before transforming with her detailed tentacles on full display. It comes ahead of The Marvels‘s Nov. 10 release in theaters.
Sphere, Las Vegas’ newest entertainment venue, boasts an exterior coated with a record 580,000-square-foot 16K LED display, while its interior features a record 160,000 square-foot 16K LED display. The Autodesk/Marvel promo was created by visual effects studio The Mill, using Autodesk Maya 3D software (which is widely used by VFX companies) for designing, lighting, rigging and animating the Goose character. It was rendered with Autodesk’s Arnold software.
The film follows Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, who has reclaimed her identity from Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence, according to its description. When unintended consequences lead to a destabilized universe, she is sent to a wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, causing her powers to become entangled with Kamala and Monica’s.
Director Nia DaCosta acknowledges her Marvel installment is coming out at a time when people are starting to feel superhero fatigue, but she’s confident The Marvels will stick out.
“The biggest difference from the other [Marvel Cinematic Universe] movies to date is that it’s really wacky, and silly,” the Candyman helmer previously said. “The worlds we go to in this movie are worlds unlike others you’ve seen in the MCU. Bright worlds that you haven’t seen before.”
