Yesterday, the Russo Brothers, directors of the upcoming “Avengers: Endgame,” took to social media to once again plead with fans to not spread spoilers about the upcoming Marvel Studios film. This comes on the heels of an apparently legit leak that spoils some major moments in the film. So, with yesterday’s news and the Russos letter, I have decided to avoid any more ‘Endgame’ marketing and spoilers until I am lucky enough to see the film. The only problem is that it makes sharing the new TV spot difficult.
Normally, at this point, with the millionth TV spot hitting the internet for a Marvel movie, we’d be reluctant to share it at all. However, it appears that the new 30-second ad for ‘Endgame’ answers a question that fans have been asking since the first trailer was released earlier this year. Specifically, why was there a weird gap between characters in one of the scenes?
You see, Marvel Studios loves to use CGI to alter their trailers and ads to keep surprises intact. And it’s not unusual to see odd shots and weird angles in a scene used for marketing because we know that in the film, it’ll make sense. But even though many of us have decided to avoid spoilers and more footage until the premiere, there are still plenty of you out there that want to know every last morsel of information before you hit the theater. For you, the ad is below.
So, how am I supposed to talk about a revelation (and its impact) in a trailer if I haven’t seen said trailer? Well, put simply, I can’t. Or better, I shouldn’t. But when has that stopped me before?
What follows are my five guesses for who I feel takes up the missing space in the shot (ranked from least likely to most likely):
5. Me – Hey, if the actors involved say they don’t know whether or not they’re in the movie, then maybe we are all in the movie and we just don’t know about it? Disney might have perfected the “Men in Black” thing that erases memories.
4. Valkyrie – Cuz more Tessa Thompson is never a bad thing.
3. No one – It could just be a blank space, people.
2. Captain Marvel – Obviously added in post-production to further Disney’s horrible SJW agenda! (Ugh, I hate 2019.)
1. Wolverine – It’s all part of Kevin Feige’s secret masterplan to include the X-Men in the film and they’ve been hiding it for months! (Kidding! Sorry fans, it ain’t happening.)
I’m probably wrong, but I’m not risking it either. “Avengers: Endgame” hits theaters on April 26.
