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.

Marvel reissues ‘Avengers: Endgame’ poster after Danai Gurira’s credit omission

A few days ago, Avengers: Endgame got a new trailer and movie poster, which made fans more excited about the upcoming film. The poster featured all the surviving Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes, but fans noticed that Black Panther’s Danai Gurira, who plays Dora Milaje’s general Okoye, was missing from the credits at the top of the poster. Instead, her name was included in the bottom credit block, alongside Gwyneth Paltrow and Benedict Wong. Fans took offense to the omission because she is the only star in the poster that didn’t get above-the-title billing. It got exacerbated by the fact that she’s the only actress of color to appear on the poster.

As Polygon points out, credit billing in posters is a “complex process” that involves a lot of negotiation by agents and the like over things like who earns a “with,” an “and,” or even how big or small names appear on the poster. But fans weren’t having this treatment, especially with MCU having had a predominantly white male presence in the past (which is something they are trying to fix moving forward). Marvel responded and reissued the poster with Gurira’s name now appears before Bradley Cooper and Josh Brolin. It was announced with a tweet that says, “She should have been up there all this time.”

Avengers: Endgame is set to hit cinemas on April 26^th.

Marvel’s latest offering reminds us of the legacy that Stan Lee left behind right from the get-go. Captain Marvel opens with a modified version of the Marvel Studios’ signature, which features many photos of Stan instead of the MCU heroes. The introduction was also followed by a simple text that says, “Thank you, Stan.” But that isn’t just the only appearance of the icon in the film. And it seems it won’t be the last time we see him in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, either. According to an interview Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige did with ET Online, we still have more Stan sightings to come. "We shot a couple of others, so we're coming up on the last of them, yes," he said. Feige also confirmed that one of said cameos is for the next MCU movie, Avengers: Endgame. When asked about Spider-Man: Far From Home, he offered, "We'll see." For now, you can catch Stan in Captain Marvel, which is already out in theatres.
