Comics Continuum spoke with Marvel Studios prez Avi Arad and found out how the MAN-THING creature will be realized for the upcoming Artisan movie, set for release this coming summer. "From the outset, Man-Thing was intended to be a prosthetic, CG-enhanced creature," Arad told the website. "So there was a great deal of R&D.

"There's positional stuff happening on location, on the set, but at the same time the stuff you don't currently see in camera was always engineered to be enhanced by digital effects. So when you see the movie, hopefully the line is pretty blurry. It's not an all-CG creature."

Arad also told the site that the movie creature will be more "menacing" than the one in Marvel's comics. "It's a horror movie," Arad adds.
