According to leading man Michael Keaton, the Batsuit he wore in the 1989 superhero film “Batman” was just as groundbreaking as it was uncomfortable. “Batman” marked the beginning of a superhero movie golden age of sorts, but the costumes actors have to wear in superhero films have always been a drawback that comes with the territory as an actor.
Continue on to learn about a few Marvel Cinematic Universe actors whose costumes definitely didn’t allow them to move like superheroes.

When Hemsworth landed the role of Thor he was told to put on muscle, which he did. When he showed up to set and put on the costume it was actually tight enough to send a pins and needles sensation through his arms.
Similar to other actors on this list, Tom Holland’s bathroom breaks were entire side missions. Aside from that, he got pretty good at liking Instagram posts with his nose.
Other “Avengers” actors agree with Boseman’s assessment of the Black Panther costume – it’s the most suffocating costume in the MCU. The suit was 100% real and he had to wear three different cowls. The late Hollywood legend said he’d never been that hot in his life.
Although most of Don Cheadle’s scenes as War Machine were added using CGI, he had to don the entire suit a few times. Needless to say, it was an extremely heavy fiberglass encasement and Cheadle is glad he wasn’t wearing it during day-long shoots.
Black Widow’s costume is skin-tight so it was guaranteed to trap a lot of heat. Scarlett Johansson often had to wring her socks out after a day of shooting.
The full Loki costume seen in “Thor: Ragnorok” is made of 30 pounds of leather and metal. Hiddleston told ABC’s Nightline that, “Your head is just kind of encased inside this steel balaclava, and your brain slowly turns to scrambled eggs . . “
The Ant-Man costume prevented Paul Rudd from scratching when he had an itch. To deal with the discomfort, Rudd would have crew members punch him as hard as they could.
The Wasp’s suit was very similar to Ant-Man’s. Evangeline Lilly described it as uncomfortable, but nothing she hadn’t dealt with as a woman who often sacrifices comfort in order to look her best.
