One Mind Blowing Secret From Every MCU Movie

There will always be debate over whether CGI or practical effects are best, but in regards to comic book movies, it seems that whatever will bring the film the best final results is the way to go, which is likely to be a hopefully seamless blend of both.

There would be no possible way to produce a film like Ant-Man without a huge amount of VFX, and for the most part, the results are fantastic. However, there is one stunt in there that mixed both styles and took advantage of exactly what a practical set can give.

This came with one of the most chaotic moments of the movie, in which a tank comes flying out of a tenth-story Pym Technologies window. You'd be forgiven for assuming this was completely CGI, but this was amazingly done practically. 

A huge set the same size as the building wall was built, as well as a three-ton steel shape the same size as a tank, which was shot through the wall at 25mph. All was done with blue screen to be edited later on, but according to Special Effects Supervisor Dan Sudick, speaking behind the scenes, the dirt, the debris flying through the air, and everything breaking would have been incredibly hard to model on a computer, which is where the value of the practical set came in here.
