It’s easy to forget that even superheroes age.
What’s harder is making them look like they haven’t.

In this shot, Hiroka Oizumi from Alpha Chromatica took on the de-aging of Tony Stark, a task that lives and dies on preserving subtle detials.

Every pore, wrinkle, and specular highlight rebuilt layer by layer: age spots, forehead, eyes, jaw, ear.

Each one retextured, relit, and reprojected to preserve the human beneath the digital.

The result?
A seamless restoration of youth that keeps Robert Downey Jr.’s performance intact, believable, emotive, and untouched by time.

It’s not about making someone younger.
It’s about restoring what the story remembers.
