Joining the seemingly never-ending list of MCU heroes who possess the ability to soar through the air with ease, Richard Madden soon found out the hard way that finally fulfilling every ten-year-old's dream of flying isn't actually all it's cracked up to be.

Shedding some light on what went into bringing the scenes depicting his iteration of Eternals member Ikaris' various hovering scenes to life, the Game of Thrones star would note to CinemaBlend how "it's not fun", among other things:

"The practicalities of things, of trying on these costumes and being like, 'This is great!' And then you're hanging upside down on a wire going, 'This costume now looks dumb."

Though it was undoubtedly a routinely soul-destroying task, crafting and eventually executing the dazzling sight of Ikaris gracefully firing himself through the air time and time again, Madden's extra practise when it came to perfecting his posture for said elegant movements helped mask whatever inner turmoil he was feeling when being hoisted up into the sky dressed in what looked like "blue leggings and nothing else."
