10 fantastic costume and props exhibits on display at ArcLight Pasadena and Santa Monica cinemas...

After sharing the cinematic treasures that used to be exhibited at ArcLight Hollywood and ArcLight Sherman Oaks, it only seemed fair to also share some of the movie exhibits that graced ArcLight Pasadena and Santa Monica before they all shut down during the pandemic. Here are some exhibits from the worlds of superheroes and animation, pirates, fantasy and fairytales.

And finally for this trio of costume exhibits from ArcLight Santa Monica, here's a duo of costumes from Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2.

Zoe Saldana's 'Gamora' costume and Karen Gillan's 'Nebula' costume were photographed in April 2017 at the cinema by the ocean.

As you can see there was always someone cool to see aside from the movies when you visited this upscale cinema chain, what a shame COVID-19 killed them all off.

Hopefully this eclectic assortment of costumes from the big screen may even provide some last minute Halloween costume inspiration.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Gamora and Nebula film costumes on display...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 brings Marvel's ragtag band of cosmic misfits back to big screen to face a new threat to the universe, plus further delves in the parentage of half-human 'Peter Quill' aka 'Star-Lord'. Speaking of family, it looks like Zoe Saldana's assassin 'Gamora' will be reuniting with her adoptive cyborg sister 'Nebula' (played by Karen Gillan).

These two sci-fi costumes designed by Judianna Makovsky were photographed on display at ArcLight Santa Monica cinema on April 18, 2017.

You can also see Star-Lord and Ego's costumes from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on display at ArcLight Hollywood.

Black costumes are notoriously hard to photograph, especially in reflective cases without good lighting, so sorry for the poor quality images, although hopefully they'll be helpful for people needing costume references for their own cosplay projects.

This time around Gamora's costume is pretty sleek, simple and black (dark and deadly for the 'most dangerous woman in the universe'), although when you're a green-skinned Zen-Whoberi alien, you already have a lot of colour on one character.

You can also compare this look to Gamora's costume from Guardians of the Galaxy.

From the looks of the colour and the insignia on Nebula's costume, she's sporting the attire similar to that worn by Yondu's space pirate Ravagers (with the bare left arm for her robotic limb).

Fans of Karen Gillan can also check out her Amy Pond costumes from Doctor Who on display.

Science fiction fans should also stay tuned in the coming days for costumes from the new Alien: Covenant movie.

X-Men: Apocalypse Cyclops movie costume on display...

In the latest film in the big screen X-Men franchise by Bryan Singer, the uncanny mutants face off against the first of their kind, 'Apocalypse' and his four harbingers of death and destruction, his 'Horsemen'. Set in the 1980s time period the movie features younger versions of classic X-Men'Jean Grey' (Sophie Turner), 'Storm' (Alexandra Shipp), 'Nightcrawler' (Kodi Smit-McPhee), 'Angel' (Ben Hardy) and 'Scott Summers aka Cyclops' played by Tye Sheridan.

This young Cyclops battle armour was photographed on display at ArcLight Santa Monica cinema on May 7, 2016.

Louise Mingenbach is Costume Designer for Marvel's merry mutants again this time around and you can also see Michael Fassbender's Magneto costume from X-Men: Apocalypse on display at ArcLight Hollywood currently.

The young X-Men uniform designs certainly look very militaristic (well I suppose they are at war with Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen), and at first they appear all-black but on closer inspection the armour and arm guards are black, but there's also a touch of olive army green there too.

Of course Cyclops is also sporting some ruby quartz Ray-Bans to help keep his eyes optic blasts under control.

I'm sure fans of the iconic comic book character and Cosplayers alike will appreciate all these detail shots to help them recreate their own costume looks.

Let's hope this inexperienced Cyclops is strong enough to survive in battle against Apocalypse (he has a nasty habit of dying in these movie adaptations).
