A Marvel star has undergone such an enormous transformation for his new role that he looks completely unrecognizable... Can you tell who it is yet?
The joy of makeup and prosthetics is that it allows actors to embody a completely different type of role than they would normally be cast in - just look at Colin Farrell playing the Penguin in the latest Batman movie!
Sometimes there is pushback on the use of prosthetics in films, with some claiming that actors who already look like the character should be cast instead, as happened recently with Brendan Fraser, who was criticized for using a fat suit for his starring role in The Whale.
But the job that makeup artists do cannot be underestimated, they are true magicians when it comes to transforming actors into somebody completely different.
So when they achieve making one of the world's most famous men completely unrecognizable, we should probably tip our hats to them and give them credit for their incredible art form.
Have you figured out who we're talking about yet or do you need a few more minutes to stare at the image before making a final guess?
As already given away, it's an incredibly famous Marvel star and a further clue is that he was the one who finally defeated Thanos... Of course, it's none other than Tony Stark himself, Robert Downey Jr. - we couldn't believe it either!
The Hollywood icon looks worlds apart from the clean-cut, well-dressed, and dare we say, handsome, characters we've come to know and love him for.
Downey Jr, 57, has transformed for his latest role - or roles - in HBO's The Sympathizer where he plays many parts all representing different parts of the American establishment.
His new hairline ages him quite considerably and that's mixed in with it being utterly bizarre that his usual dark head of hair is now red. Gone are the days of a clean-cut suit - he is now donning a bright pink shirt mixed with a burgundy jacket and blue pants and even people who aren't fashion-conscious might raise their eyebrows at these color clashes.
The star recently sat down with Deadline where he revealed more about this upcoming project: "The next thing I’m doing is a series with my Mrs. and the director Park Chan-Wook, based on a Pulitzer book called The Sympathizer.
"It’s already a transformative, literally playing five different roles, experience for me. So, I would just say, before we cast aspersions on each other — undergo your own renaissance and see if it doesn’t change your mind a little bit.
"Reinvent yourself before you decide that somebody else doesn’t know what they’re doing or that something is keeping you from doing your best, or that something is better than something else."
We still can't believe that it's him, and neither can people on social media! One person said: "Robert Downey Jr. looking like James Caan on the set of The Sympathizer."
We can't wait to see how Downey Jr. performs in this upcoming project, and kudos again to the makeup team!
