When a younger Bill Foster appears in Ghost's (Hannah John-Kamen) flashback, it's pretty safe to assume that Marvel Studios employed their usual trick of grating a digitally de-aged likeness on top of a random stand-in actor. After all, it was used for opening flashbacks featuring Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer, so why not here?

Surprisingly, though some digital trickery was clearly used to tidy things up, much of the work was achieved practically, as young Bill was played by Fishburne's son Langston. He bears an uncanny resemblance to his father, playing the part with some added CGI tweaks and papa Fishburne's voice dubbed over.

It's a ludicrously effective technique and virtually seamless, with young Bill Foster near-perfectly resembling the actor in his younger days.
