Martin Bell was given the “X” moniker by Marvel Studios while working on DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (as VFX Art Director), because a Marvel Exec already had the mbell@ email, so he needed a different handle. With no middle name, they gave him mxbell@. So he kept it.

A former animator and then film visualisation supervisor for Proof London and then Dimension, MX has worked with many top directors to create, animate and plan huge action sequences for blockbuster franchises such as Jurassic World, Marvel, Fast & Furious, James Bond, and the DC Universe.

His short film PRAZINBURK RIDGE, created in Unreal Engine, won multiple awards on the short film festival circuit in 2022-23. He is currently developing his debut live-action feature film, to be shot in 2025. Dimension | DNEG 360 is on board to co-produce another of his films, DEAD MAN’S HILL, written for Virtual Production.
