Brie Larson Had No Idea What She Was Filming For Avengers: Endgame

With Avengers: Endgame on the horizon, we're soaking up almost every tidbit about the movie and the Marvel Cinematic Universe we can get, as the wait is excruciating.


We've uncovered quite a couple of interesting beats about the movie over the last few weeks, case in point, with actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow apparently almost spoiling scenes, Mark Ruffalo discovering he had appeared in a movie with Captain Marvel herself (Brie Larson) 15 years back, and Robert Downey Jr. sharing how he felt about the last eight minutes of the movie.


Right now, Larson is back right after an appearance on The Tonight Show to let's know how her experience with Captain Marvel's final scene went. As it turns out, she actually had zero clue what it was she was filming any time time came, in case you could believe that. Certainly, given the massive quantity of caution that's enshrouded the whole project, it's not a hard pill to swallow.


A post-credits scene in Captain Marvel finds Carol Danvers heading to Avengers HQ, looking for Nick Fury. Naturally, he's not there, because at that point in the story immediately after Infinity War), he's been snapped into dust by Thanos. Larson says as soon as she filmed that scene, she had no idea what the dialogue was.


"There was nobody else there — I was by myself on a green screen," she mentioned. "I walked in, and so they were like, 'Just real quick, we're just going to whip pan over to you and you're gonna go, 'Where's Fury?'" She went to ask the cast and crew about Fury's actual whereabouts, and the only answer she procured was that he was "very gone."


"I was like, 'Oh, I think this demonstrates that's he's dead,'" she explained. Her instructions for the scene were to look around at the others in the room, however she wasn't told who was around. As an alternative, she was given small specifics like how several people were there, not who. This secretive trend continued as she was later flown out to film scenes for Avengers: Endgame without even knowing what she was being asked to do it for.


"I flew Atlanta to begin filming, and had no idea what I was doing. I arrived and so they gave me a segment of paper that was a full page of dialogue and action, yet all it was redacted with the exception of my one line," she explained.


Once it comes to wariness, it looks like the Russo Brothers and the rest of the Endgame cast have had it pretty locked up. This is some secretive, Area 51-level stuff. Yet despite not knowing what was going on, Brie killed it as Captain Marvel. And we're about to be able to see the results of her hard work any time Avengers: Endgame finally drops on April 26. Not much time left to wait, now.
