James Gunn had one request for Cosmo the Dog headed into his latest MCU blockbuster.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
3directorJames Gunnapparently demanded one change be made toCosmo the Space Dogbefore her appearance in theMCUthreequel.
We had lights moving, and wavy curves, and different things.
Interestingly, for the ‘Holiday Special,’ we actually had big antennae on the collar.
Afterwards, James said, That was good for the ‘Holiday Special,’ but not for the future.
Lets go for a different design."
He said, I want to keep the vibe, I want to feel the actress in the character.
So, it had to be a realistic dog, but you had to feel the actor behind it.
Plus, its a dog talking through a speaker rig.
No lip sync, nothing.
And then, it still had to be photoreal."
We have to be photorealistic, and thats it.
I dont think we have to incorporate anything being cartoon or humanoid.
If we do, it will completely break the spirit of this character."
Because, the groom underneath doesnt exist.
We didnt need to deal with that groom.
The spacesuit itself was handled by CFX.
We had a lot of conversations about thickness and rigidity.
We looked at cosmonauts, how they moved, how thick their suits were.
Its also heavily art-directed in terms of how it moves.
I mean, its a dog in a spacesuit!"
Was the Cosmo Change Worth It?
