There have been so many selfies from actors working on marvel movies of them just literally working on green screens. There was one, it may have been Julia Louise Dryfus, I don't remember exactly, but they were on a bridge in LA that was supposed to be Boston, and they literally made everything green screen except for the handrail. It's nuts how much they're putting on VFX artists and they absolutely should have a union

Yeah, almost everything in The Volume is VFX by it's very nature.

Wasn't it one of The Hobbit movies where Ian McKellen had to do all of his filming alone in front of a green screen, delivering his lines to a green stick, all by himself?

Yup, I can't imagine what it's like now being an actor. At least before you could act with someone else, play off each other. Now "Just act at this stick and do a good job"
