An audience-favorite in Ant-Man: Quantumania is the character Veb, a being within the Quantum Realm who wishes to have holes.

Manufacturing visible results supervisor Jesse James Chisholm advised befores & afters that he was excited by Marvel’s early designs for the character, “after which David Dastmalchian got here in and did the efficiency for each scene and and it was like, ‘Holy shit.’”

“He had his crouch, he had his arms and he had this sure motion.”

That sparked a slight re-design, engineered by Marvel idea artist Jamie O’Hara. “He took a scan of David, and the way David was standing, and constructed based mostly off of that, so we might be sympathetic to what David did,” says Chisholm.

“It was such a pleasure to observe these folks like David do what they do, and we actually retained as a lot as of him as we might.”
