Mayes C Rubeo

Costume designer Mayes C Rubeo is no stranger to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). She won an Emmy for her WandaVision (2021) costume designs and previously collaborated with director Taika Waititi on Thor: Ragnarok (2017). They continued their creative partnership on Thor: Love and Thunder’s electrifying, 1980s-inspired aesthetic.

“On a project of this grand scale, it couldn’t function well if all the creative parts were not interconnected,” Rubeo said. “We had creative meetings with the director of photography, Taika, our producers, the creators, visual development, production designers, set decoration, hair and makeup. I mean, when I create a look, I create that whole, cohesive look. It has to be exactly the same DNA, and the only way to get that DNA is through communication.”
