Avengers: Endgame stars Paul Rudd and Jeremy Renner on the their characters’ return after missing Infinity War
- Marvel is notorious for not revealing plot details from its films before release
- Rudd and Renner discuss leaked footage, costumes and the ‘Thanus theory’
Over the course of 10 years, Marvel has built a reputation for delivering two inevitabilities: meaty post-credits scenes and spoiler-free press runs.
At the hush-hush Avengers: Endgame press conference in Los Angeles, Paul Rudd and Jeremy Renner (who play Ant-Man and Hawkeye, respectively) managed to talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe while revealing absolutely nothing about the upcoming superhero team up.
“You don’t want to ruin it because people spoil stuff, man,” said Renner. “It’s terrible.”
He was right to be cautious. Just over a week before Endgame is slated to hit cinemas worldwide, five minutes of credible footage from the film was leaked online.
According to descriptions, the footage includes scenes that reveal key details about the plot. Disney has not confirmed whether the footage is indeed from the upcoming film.
On Tuesday, the Russo brothers, who have directed four MCU titles including Infinity War and Endgame, issued a statement via Twitter urging “the greatest fans in the world” not to ruin the film for other fans.
