That Avengers: Endgame Trailer We All Just Devoured Actually Used Fake Footage

Dig that crazy new Avengers: Endgame trailer? Think you have some sort of performer name on what's going to happen as soon as the movie finally hits theaters?


We hate to break it to you, yet it looks like you could have been served some fake footage.


MovieWeb reports that directors Joe and Anthony Russo actually use all the footage from various shoots while in the movie's production — even the stuff that doesn't make the final cut — to prepare the trailers we love to pick apart and analyze. This could come as a shock to you, and we certainly understand.


"[We] use all of the material that we have at our disposal to make design a trailer," mentioned Joe Russo. "We look at the trailer as a very different experience than the movie, and I think crowds are so predictive right now that you have got to be very smart about how you craft a trailer because a group can watch a trailer and basically tell you what’s gonna happen in the film." That's the truth. One of the most exhilarating parts about waiting for an enormous movie like this is attempting to predict what's going to happen next, and fans spend an inordinate quantity of time doing it.


"We consume also much content. So at our disposal are more than a few different shots that aren’t in the movie that we can manipulate through CG to tell a story that we hope to tell specifically the reason for the trailer and not for the film.”


this could (understandably) annoy some fans, because there's nothing more diehards love to do than analyze a trailer from top to bottom. And this new clip appeared to have some particularly juicy info in it, especially a cameo by Captain Marvel herself at the end. Hopefully that part wasn't fake, because that interaction with Thor was priceless.


Russo explained further that what's most crucial to him is preserving the "surprise" of the narrative, and keeping things under wraps that don't need to be spoiled ahead of the movie's debut.


whenever I was a kid and saw The Empire Strikes Back at 11 a.M. 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 attempting to replicate that experience," he said.


So if that new trailer had you thinking you know what's going to happen, you could wish to temper your expectations. The Russo Brothers desire to keep us on our toes, and honestly that makes us a little bit worried. We're not sure if we can take another Thanos snap or anything like it, especially since it was originally meant to be appear in Avengers: Endgame.


so far, we're going back to the drawing board with some of our early theories. Avengers: Endgame is coming to theaters on April 26.
