CREATING THE STILLSUIT

The famous stillsuit design needed to be tailored to each actor, and every suit features bespoke details and talismans hand-picked by the cast to lend their characters a backstory. Moulds were made for each actor and each suit took two weeks to build.

The suits were created by concept artist Keith Christensen, who had previously worked on Black Panther. “He was obsessed with the book,” says Jacqueline West. “The first drawing that he did of the stillsuit was perfect. I mean, nailed it.” Another Marvel regular, José Fernández at Ironhead Studio, was brought on to create a prototype of the stillsuit. “I love that guy,” says Jacqueline.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION “Everything followed the function of that suit,” says Jacqueline, explaining it’s why we see crossways running tubes and the external codpiece.
