Spider-Man away from home Concept Art: Axer Mysterio looks like

Ryan Meinerding, head of visual development at Marvel Studios, has proposed more than 60 different designs for the latest villain of "Spider-Man".

Achieving good appearance for Mysterio in "Spider-Man: Away from Home" was a top priority for Ryan Meinerding, who is responsible for visual development at Marvel Studios. Meinerding has been working on Marvel films since MCU started with "Iron Man" and is often tasked with bringing traditional comic book costumes to life on the big screen, while preserving them as much as possible from the real world. For Mysterio, this involved testing between 60 and 70 different costumes before landing on the one presented in the theaters.

Meinerding recently sat down for a video interview with Marvel Entertainment and shared an incredible concept for various Mysterio costumes that were cut down along the way during the development of "Spider-Man: Far From Home". One of the biggest challenges of the big screen was what to do with the most identifiable costume element of the character: the helmet. Mysterio wears a fishbowl helmet in the comics, but in the beginning, Meinerding was not sure it would work in the movie, because it could be read so pleasantly.

"We experimented very early to see if it would be better if we turned it into a more pleasing form for the head, but when you do, it just does not look like Mysterio," Meinerding said. "When you start to look at what has been done before in comics and see how it is translated on the screen, many problems are solved for us that we do not even register ourselves. to use other versions of the big fishbowl head without a coat or with a smaller coat and it just does not work.The cloak went well the first time.

Meinerding and his team decided to keep the fishbowl helmet and finally landed on a Mysterio costume that seemed tangible and realistic. The team added an eye symbol on different parts of Mysterio's costume so that the film version of the character has an identifiable symbol, which is missing from his comic counterpart.
