"To be fair my face is in there somewhere. #MoCapWhilePregnant," she said in another tweet. The Russo brothers have also confirmed that Irish actor Tom Vaughan-Lawlor is portraying the villain, Ebony Maw, while Terry Notary, known for films such as "Planet of the Apes" trilogy and "Kong: The Skull Island", is playing Cull Obsidian.
