One of Endgame's biggest surprises was the last-minute appearance of Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) in her Rescue Iron Man armour from the comics, and given the highly digital nature of the film's final battle, you'd be forgiven for assuming that Paltrow simply acted out the entire scene in a mo-cap leotard.

And though the actress certainly was kitted out in the typical garb, the top-half of the Rescue suit was in fact mostly practical, save for the face plate which was added in post-production.

In Endgame's featurette on the heroic women of the MCU, fans can catch numerous glimpses of Paltrow running around on set with the bulky armour in tow.

Given the history of the franchise adding entire costumes in post-production - and doing a damn convincing job of it - didn't we all just assume that to be the case here?
