Out of this world spacesuits from the big and small screen...

Happy New Year! With vaccines on the way to protect us from COVID-19, we can once again start looking towards the future. Whenever I think of the future I alway think of space and science fiction, so today I thought I'd share eight different spacesuits from movies and television that I've come across on my travels across time and space.

Spacesuit worn by Anne Hathaway

as Dr. Amelia Brand in Interstellar

In 2014's Interstellar, a team of scientists and explorers travel through a wormhole searching for a new planet to sustain humanity when Earth's future is treated with famines, droughts and natural disasters.

Anne Hathaway plays NASA scientist and astronaut, 'Dr. Amelia Brand', and wears this spacesuit designed by Mary Zophres.

Fans of Christopher Nolan's sci-fi movie can also check out these other screen-used props and models from Interstellar on display.

Sokul pressure suit worn by Sandra Bullock

as Ryan Stone in Gravity

Director Alfonso Cuarón's 2013 space mission thriller, Gravity, won seven Oscars and starred Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as two astronauts stranded in space after an accident.

Jany Temime was Costume Designer on the movie, so make sure you take a closer look at Sandra Bullock's costume, plus George Clooney's astronaut suit from Gravity on display on Warner Bros. Studios  Backlot Tour in June 2016.

Spacesuit worn by Hermione Norris as Captain Lundvik

in Doctor Who's Kill the Moon

This spacesuit appears in the seventh episode, Kill the Moon, of the revived eighth season of Doctor Who from 2014, in which Peter Capaldi's time-traveling 'Doctor' and his companion 'Clara' (Jenna Coleman) join a suicide mission to the Moon to save the Earth.

The costume was photographed on display at the Doctor Who Experience in Wales in April 2015 and fans of the Time Lord can also enjoy these other original costumes and props from Doctor Who.

2001: A Space Odyssey spacesuit

This screen-used spacesuit designed by Hardy Amies is from 1968's epic 2001: A Space Odyssey, directed by Stanley Kubrick and inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's 1951 short story, 'The Sentinel'. When mankind discovers a mysterious monolith on the Moon they set off on a space mission to Jupiter with the help of the sentient computer HAL 9000 in search of extraterrestrial life.

Be sure to take a look at more costumes and props on display at the Stanley Kubrick exhibition at LACMA back in January 2013, from films like Eyes Wide Shut, The Shining, Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon and more.

Ares III spacesuit worn by Matt Damon

as Mark Watney in The Martian

In the 2015 movie The Martian, Matt Damon's NASA astronaut 'Mark Watney' finds himself marooned on the Red Planet after he's left behind and thought dead on a mission that's hit by a fierce storm.

Janty Yates was Costume Designer on the film directed Ridley Scott and this Mars surface suit was manufactured by FBFX.

Fans of the movie can take a closer look at this NASA astronaut suit from The Martian on display at L.A.'s ArcLight Hollywood cinema in September 2015.

Spacesuit worn by Brad Pitt

as Major Roy McBride in Ad Astra

In 2019's Ad Astra, Brad Pitt plays 'Major Roy McBride' of the U.S. Space Command who travels to the edge of the solar system to find his missing father and solve the mystery of a threat to Earth's very survival.

Albert Wolsky was Costume Designer on James Gray's film and you can take a closer look at his spacesuit and space buggy from Ad Astra on display in ArcLight Hollywood's cinema foyer in September 2019.

Spacesuit from High Life

In the 2018 sci-fi horror from Claire Denis, High Life, a group of criminals are sent on a space mission and become subjects of a human reproduction experiment which becomes endangered by a cosmic ray storm.

Make sure you take a closer look at this screen-used spacesuit from High Life designed by Judy Shrewsbury exhibited at ArcLight Hollywood in March 2019.

Apollo A7L spacesuit worn by Ryan Gosling

as Neil Armstrong in First Man

And finally this Apollo A7L spacesuit was worn by Ryan Gosling in the 2018 Neil Armstrong biopic, First Man, about the legendary space mission that led to him being the first man to walk on the Moon on July 20, 1969.

Mary Zophres was Costume Designer on Damien Chazelle's film and this Apollo A7L spacesuit was created by Global Effects, Inc. and displayed alongside more costumes and props from First Man at ArcLight Hollywood in January 2019.

As you can see, you may think all astronauts look the same, but when different countries, worlds, pasts and futures are involved, that's clearly not the case.

Come back soon when I'll be digging out more costumes and props from my archives until this pandemic is over and the world returns to some semblance of normality.

TARS robot and space shuttle models from Interstellar on display...

In Christopher Nolan's 2014 sci-fi epic Interstellar, Matthew McConaughey ventured through time and space to save humanity on a dying Earth in the future. The crew of scientists and astronauts searching for a new world to colonise were assisted by monolith-like robots, TARS and CASE, which were actually 200 pound puppets that could be moved by actors like Bill Irwin during filming. Personally I thought they were the most original idea for a robot I'd seen in many years, in their design and how they moved (made possible also with the help of special visual effects).

Screen-used Interstellar props and models

This TARS robot prop and spaceship lander craft models (used for exploring planets suitable for human habitation) were photographed on display at Warner Bros. Studios Backlot Tour on June 9, 2016.

Fans of the movie can also check out Anne Hathaway's astronaut suit and more Interstellar props on display.

UPDATED: I saw this post was trending and thought I'd add some photos of the TARS robot from Interstellar I captured on display at the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum on October 13, 2025.

Interstellar Ranger and Lander space ship models

The museum also had the Ranger and Lander spacecraft scale models used during production on display, so enjoy.

Anne Hathaway's Interstellar spacesuit and screen-used props on display...

Christopher Nolan's latest epic Interstellar isn't perfect, but it is a breath of fresh air for the sci-fi genre, from the new takes on robots, space travel and alien worlds, to the glimpse at a dying future Earth.

Interstellar astronaut costume and prop exhibit

To help celebrate the movie's release, ArcLight Hollywood cinema had Anne Hathaway's NASA spacesuit, a scale model spacecraft and other screen-used props from the movie on display on November 7, 2014.

In the movie a former pilot and engineer turned farmer, played by Matthew McConaughey, must leave his children behind on a planet ravaged by dust storms and an agricultural blight and journey light years to the stars through a newly discovered wormhole to explore new worlds which may hold the only hope for humanity's survival.

Anne Hathaway plays 'Dr. Amelia Brand', the daughter of Michael Caine's 'Professor Brand' and a NASA scientist who accompanies Matthew McConaughey's 'Cooper' and small team of astronauts on their interstellar voyage. As this team of explorers venture into space at the speed of light, their families back home grow older at a faster rate due to the laws of relativity.

Some people are really polarised by Anne Hathaway as an actress, and either love or hate her. I think she's great, so it was fantastic to see her NASA spacesuit from the movie up close in the cinema's foyer. If you like this astronaut costume, be sure to also check out her Catwoman suit from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.

Mary Zophres is Costume Designer on the movie and you can also see her costume work in Gangster Squad and the 2010 True Grit movie remake.

Lander spaceship scale model from Interstellar

In addition to the spacesuit, the exhibit also featured a cool scale model of the Lander spaceship featured in the movie.

I really liked the design of all the spacecraft in the film, they felt fresh and original. Although of all the futuristic technology, the angular robot TARS, they way he moved and his sarcastic personality, was one of my favourite pieces.

Original movie props from Interstellar

In addition here's also one of the cryobed props from the film which allowed the astronauts to survive the rigors of space travel by going into suspended hibernation as their years long mission progressed, plus an airlock door from the wheel-like Endurance ship. It's great to see all the little details, down to the 'property of the US government' label on the cryobed.

If you like these screen-used models and props, be sure to also check out these movie costumes and props from Christopher Nolan's Inception on display in 2010.

Even though Christopher Nolan doesn't always know how to seamlessly execute his stories, I love how his films have big, interesting ideas and it really is nice to see a science fiction movie which is more about exploration and science, than just blowing things up with ray guns and alien armadas.
