Have always wondered, how do actors memorize very long scripts? Do they somehow read them or is it an absolute must to have an incredible memory to become an actor?

Who told you they memorize long script...watch behind the scene to know how far

Most times, there are breaks.....cut cut cut.

Like if an actor forgets a line, cut cut cut.

Plenty cut and join dey movies, they also assist them with electronic boards or stuff just like during newscasting

firstly the actors would read the entire script in order the familiarise them with their individual characters

then during shooting in order not to forget the lines

When I read the Avengers script, I understood better.
