We went behind the scenes of Marvel Studios

Avengers Damage Control.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,490 ANGELIQUE ROCHE: Oh my gosh, guys, I'm Angelique Roche

and I'm here at The Void in New York.

And I just got an opportunity to go

through the VR experience, Marvel Studios

Avengers Damage Control.

And man, I got to be an Avenger.

It was an experience of a lifetime.

But you know what, don't take my word for it.

I had the opportunity to talk to some of the creators

behind this amazing experience.

Let's go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I'm here with Dave from Marvel Studios and Ian from ILMX Lab.

So talk to me a little bit about where this is set.

Because it seems that this is after the events of Marvel

Studios Avengers: Endgame.

DAVE BUSHORE: It is said after the events of Endgame

and purposefully so, I think.

When we were developing this story,

it was very much having a conversation

around what are the things that people have

waited their whole lives to do?

What are the things people have waited

their whole lives to relive?

Knowingly while the filmmakers were working on Infinity War

and Endgame and knowing that fans are going to go,

oh man, this is going to be a fan favorite moment,

this is going to be a fan favorite moment.

Let's make sure we take a little bit of that

and bring it to life over here.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

ANGELIQUE ROCHE: You start off with this moment

with Princess Shuri at a Wakandan Outreach Center.

Hello, and welcome to the Wakandan

International Outreach Center.

DAVE BUSHORE: When we're looking at developing

the story for this, it was what are the things that make sense?

We're going to have a of technology

from the Marvel universe designed by Shuri set

in a storyline post Endgame.

Who would Tony trust with his tech?

Probably the smartest person in the Marvel universe, right?

ANGELIQUE ROCHE: And then having Latisha Wright actually

come back and reprise the role.

IAN BOWIE: It was a really good way

to make this authentic as well.

Like, when you start out with something that strong, where

you're going in and you're like, that

is Shuri telling me that I'm going

to test her new prototype.

That's a line in the sand saying that,

no, you're in this universe.

Like, get ready because we're making this as authentic

as possible.

And on that authenticity, the same thing for that

was also getting other actors besides Leticia,

such as like Benedict Cumberbatch, and Paul Rudd,

and Evangeline Lilly, to come back and reprise their Marvel

roles, to really bring this experience

in a way that really felt like you

were stepping into the movies.

DAVE BUSHORE: As like with any good Marvel story,

there's a few cameos.

When you're fighting alongside the Avengers,

anything can happen.

A portal can open and take you anywhere.

And anybody can show up and fight alongside you.

ANGELIQUE ROCHE: One of the cool things about this

is, like, unlike other VR experiences

that people have done before, you're not tethered,

there's no controllers.

You're literally walking and moving in this space.

IAN BOWIE: Yeah, you actually get to physically

walk through the experience.

You get-- you see a wall, you can touch it.

You see your friend, you can high five each other.

You feel the heat when something's warm around you.

The ground will rumble when there are big huge explosions

happening inside of it.

It's on a whole different level when it comes

to that sense of immersiveness.

DAVE BUSHORE: I think that immersiveness though

goes beyond just the idea of a physical wall or a smell,

the immersiveness comes from the idea that what I am doing

is real.

I put my hand out and I fire a pulsar blast.

You really did that.

You cannot do that if you choose to do that.

And that's the fun of it, right?

That immersion is now so deep because of what the technology

provides and what ILMX Lab allows

us to do with our characters.

ANGELIQUE ROCHE: So for those who are now just as excited

as I am to now go back through the experience,

how can folks learn more about this

and where can they experience this?

DAVE BUSHORE: Yeah, they can go on TheVoid.com and get tickets.

It's here till November 10th at the Oculus in New York.

It's at other locations around North America for a few weeks

after that.

So hopefully fans can get out and--

get out and experience it.

ANGELIQUE ROCHE: Guys, that was amazing.

DAVE BUSHORE: Was it?

ANGELIQUE ROCHE: That was amazing.

DAVE BUSHORE: How amazing?

ANGELIQUE ROCHE: Like, I want to go do it

again, like, right now amazing.

DAVE BUSHORE: Let's go do it again right now.

ANGELIQUE ROCHE: OK.
