Joe Russo acted as a stand-in for Josh Brolin's character Thanos in scenes where Karen Gillan's Nebula appeared opposite the Mad Titan, Gillan reveals. Because Brolin was unavailable during filming on Gillan's scenes with Thanos, Russo played the villain in plainclothes, substituting for Brolin with a headpiece depicting Thanos's face in cardboard, itself affixed to a large stick to help direct Gillan's eyeline opposite the eight-foot-something Thanos. The experience was "surreal," Gillan admits, but the Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Endgame directing duo are "incredible." "You know what I love? It's a funny story about Joe Russo. So when we were filming Endgame, we didn't have Josh Brolin there for my scenes with Thanos, so Joe played Thanos," Gillan said with a laugh at Comic Con Paris. "It was funny to sort of be in the scene, acting with one of the directors of the movie, and he was just wearing his own clothes, and then he had a stick with a big Thanos cardboard picture sticking into the air so that I would look at the right height. I was like, 'This is surreal.'"
