20 Marvelous Behind-the-Scenes Shots That Are Sure to Make History

When it comes to the magic of moviemaking, it takes a lot of work to make the impossible a reality. While special effects are nearly as old as film itself (it has even appeared in silent films), the industry has come a long way. You’d be surprised to see how some of your favorite action scenes became a reality.

We at Bright Side love sharing the scenes from our favorite movies and revealing how they were made, and we can’t wait for you to see it all!

A lot of times, some of the most interesting stuff ends up on the cutting room floor, especially if the cast and crew were just having fun. During Avengers: Endgame, some behind-the-scenes shenanigans included singing “Happy Birthday” to Iron Man, or Robert Downey Jr. giving Tom Holland a friendly peck on the cheek!
