Avengers: Endgame took secrecy to all new levels with its intentionally spoiler-free marketing efforts. Once the movie was released, though, the behind-the-scenes info began pouring out. Here are some of the most interesting things to emerge.
It’s a well-known fact that directors Joe and Anthony Russo will go to extreme lengths to keep their Marvel creations under wraps. For example, they teasingly apologized to the spoiler-prone Tom Holland for dusting Spidey at the end of Infinity War and consequently keeping him at arm’s length for the promotion of Endgame. They also pretended to fire Mark Ruffalo after a string of spoilers had put him on thin ice.
One of the best methods for keeping everyone in the dark, though, was the way the Russos handled the script. Most of the actors only got pieces of the screenplay to work from, and apparently, Ruffalo got a particularly spoiler-proof version of the script. The Hulk actor was only given a partial script with additional dummy scenes in it, according to an interview with E! News:
“I don’t know what’s gonna happen. I shot like five different endings. I didn’t even get a whole script for this movie.”
But even that didn’t stop him from accidentally giving something away. In that same interview, he joked about what he presumably thought was one of those “dummy scenes.” The spoiler?
“He gets married in this!”
“They have to throw Mark off the scent.”
Oops…
