We’ll be delving a little bit into the film so we’re going to keep the rest of this story under the cut for those who haven’t seen it yet.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ could’ve been called ‘Infinity Gauntlet’

Would the impact have been the same impact if Avengers: Endgame was titled as Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet? Or did that make it seem so obvious? According to Joe Russo’s interview with Josh Horowitz on MTV’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, the latter was the chosen title for “quite a long time.” And while it does seem like a fitting title for the movie, perhaps wanted to keep this major plot point out of the title to keep the mystery going.

Also, how would you have felt if Endgame was a two-part film? Perhaps it wouldn’t have the same impact, either. Thankfully, the production team were just joking about doing this. Russo said, “We used to joke about [splitting the movies in two] all the time. Because Alan Horn at Disney had overseen Lord of the Rings and he used to joke about it. Like, three hour movie, just cut it in half. I don’t know that it would have achieved this kind of success had we split it up.” The movie has broken box office records left and right and has reached the US$2.188 billion mark globally in its second weekend, making it the second-highest grossing movie of all time. It beats out Titanic in just 11 days as well as Avatar, which hit the $2 billion mark in 47 days.

There are fake footage in the ‘Avengers: Endgame’

If you’ve been losing your mind trying to decipher the Avengers: Endgame trailer, we’re going to have to tell you to stop obsessing. One of the film’s directors Joe Russo admitted that there are fake scenes in the trailer to throw off fans from the movie’s true plot. The Russos want to make sure that they don’t give away the story ahead of Endgame’s premiere. They want fans to be truly surprised when they hit the theater next month. While talking to Empire Magazine, Joe said, “We talked about all scales of marketing. The thing that’s most important to us is that we preserve the surprise of the narrative. When I was a kid and saw The Empire Strikes Back at 11am on the day it opened… it so profoundly moved me because I didn’t know a damn thing about the story I was going to watch. We’re trying to replicate that experience.” And we personally think that’s a good way to enjoy a film, especially one as big as this one.
