He also shared that the “scanning” process has become a common practice in Marvel Studios.

“Since I’ve been in the marvel universeevery time you change costumes in a movie Marvel, they scan you,” Jackson said. “Since I did”Captain Marvel‘ and they did the Lola project where they rejuvenated me and all that, I thought, ‘Well, I guess they can do this whenever they want to if they really want to.’” The Honorary Academy Award winner offered advice to his fellow actors.
