Infinity War Looks Like In Real Life

Terry Notary has had a long career in Hollywood, beginning as a stunt performer on films such as «Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas,» «Planet of the Apes,» and «X2.» The veteran performer boasts an impressive resume, as he was a movement coach and performed stunts on «Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer,» «The Incredible Hulk,» and «War for the Planet of the Apes.» Notary worked on multiple projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, performing motion capture for Groot in «Avengers: Infinity War» and «Avengers: Endgame.» His most notable non-MCU project is probably «Avatar,» where he was the movement coach.

As his motion capture performances as Cull Obsidian and Groot in the same movie show, Notary is an expert performer in the world of MoCap. While he might not be a household name, he plays a significant part in bringing some of the best CG characters to life. Next, Notary will do his thing in Joe and Anthony Russo’s upcoming «Electric State.» While his role in the movie hasn’t been revealed, it’s fair to assume he might do MoCap for one of the robot characters from the original Simon Stalenhag story.

Regardless of who he plays, Notary getting some credit in bigger films like the «Avengers» franchise is long-deserved, as he’s more than put in enough time behind the scenes to earn his current opportunities.
