There stands a good chance that Avengers: Endgame might mark the final film for several Marvel favorites, but in the weeks leading up to the film’s launch, the cast is keeping their minds off such grim outcomes. The Endgame press tour has been filled with both laughter and emotional moments. However, there’s no escaping the fact that the end is nigh, and that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will face a dangerous fight in Endgame.
One member of the Endgame team who isn’t letting the rest of the cast forget that harrowing reality is none other than Thanos actor Josh Brolin, who has delivered a terrifying reminder to his fellow MCU stars.
Taking to Instagram, Brolin posted a photo of a set chair with the Mad Titan’s name written on it, plus the Infinity Gauntlet carefully sitting atop the seat’s back.
Just as Brolin’s post hints, the Avengers: Endgame crew has been incredibly busy promoting the ensemble pic. What they haven’t been able to do during those events is, ironically, talk about what’s coming in Endgame, if they even know themselves.
“I didn’t even get a whole script to this movie. I don’t know why. The script I did get had dummy scenes in it.”
Marvel is keeping an airtight lid on Endgame details, and for good reason, as the studio doesn’t want to ruin the movie-going experience for anyone or risk damaging what’s meant to be the culmination of 11 years of stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That said, the interviews the Endgame stars are giving are essentially hype-boosters rather than detail-dishings. In some ways, the lack of plot specifics and the hesitancy to talk too much about Endgame is a distraction from the inevitable: the un-dusted heroes are all but guaranteed to go head-to-head with Thanos once more.
Still, everyone knows that’s coming. The Endgame teasers, specifically the most recent special-look trailer, point toward the Avengers crafting a plan to take down the Mad Titan, reverse his Decimation, and resurrect the fallen heroes, plus the billions upon billions of other lives that were lost post-snap. What that mission entails is a total mystery, though. A theory that has gained more traction than others is that the team will gear up in their new suits, which look kinda similar to the one Hank Pym wore in the Quantum Realm in Ant-Man and the Wasp, and travel back in time to stop Thanos from ever coming close to getting his hands on the Infinity Gauntlet. Another notion is grounded in something Captain Marvel said in the latest look at Endgame:
The heroes may not turn back the clock, but may instead remain in the existing timeline, journeying through space to rip the Infinity Stones straight from Thanos’ hand.
Speaking of the Infinity Gauntlet, there’s also the idea that the mystical armored glove won’t be as powerful in Endgame as it was in the final moments of Infinity War, which saw both the Gauntlet and Thanos’ arm suffer damage as a result of the Snap. The glimpses at Endgame we’ve gotten so far hint that the Gauntlet is charred,
Joe Russo added during a Q&A session following a screening of Infinity War that Thanos’ arm is burned, and explained that the damage extends to other parts of his body, including anything that’s on his arm, like the Infinity Gauntlet. Keep watching the video to hear as the Thanos actor gives Endgame cast a terrifying reminder!
