Avengers: Endgame co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo sat down with Heroic Hollywood Editor-In-Chief Umberto Gonzalez and weighed in on the many fan theories about the Marvel Studios film.
Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame a little over one week away from hitting theaters and in the years leading up to the highly-anticipated conclusion to the Infinity Saga, fans have developed their own theories on how the journey should unfold. However, co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo noted that they have not seen a fan theory that accurately predicted the outcome of Endgame:
“Surprisingly, no. I mean, there are some theories that can kind of get a little close. But I think here … If you look at it, a fan theory is typically like a few sentences long. It’s a very brief kind of projection of what’s gonna happen.”
The Russo Brothers added that while some fans have gotten close, others have been “wildly” off:
“[…] they tend to get summarized into something very simple. And it’s like the devil is really in the details, right? It’s that … Sometimes things can kinda get in the same area, but they’re not … Sometimes they’re wildly not in the same area. The interesting thing is there are very sort of savvy fans who can kind of get close to the mark or can kind of miss it wildly because that’s the process we go through.”
The filmmakers also discussed why anyone outside of the writer’s room, where several ideas are tossed around and discarded, couldn’t accurately predict the outcome of the entire film:
“The story can go in so many different directions. We ended up just settling on a very specific direction for very specific reasons that nobody outside of that room could ever guess at. So no-one’s ever going to be able to predict that exactly what is happening.”

New ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Character Posters Feature Surviving & Fallen Heroes
Marvel Studios released new Avengers: Endgame character posters for both the surviving and fallen heroes of Thanos' decimation in Infinity War.
Nearly one year ago, fans were devasted when Avengers: Infinity War concluded with Thanos carrying out his mission to eradicate half of the population in the universe, including several MCU heroes. In exactly one month, fans will finally discover how the surviving Avengers plan to avenge their fallen comrades and potentially undo Thanos' decimation with the help of newcomer Captain Marvel (Brie Larson). Now, Marvel Studios has released several character posters not only for the surviving heroes who will embark on a game-changing mission in Endgame but also for those who fell victim to Thanos' eradication in Infinity War.
The line-up includes Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Bradley Cooper's Rocket Raccoon, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, and many more!

Endgame will serve as both a follow up to Avengers: Infinity War as well as the conclusion to the 22 films that came before it, which have now been dubbed as the Infinity Saga by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, before Marvel kicks off Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Spider-Man: Far From Home in July.
While plot details still remain under wraps, Earth's Mightiest Heroes are expected to team up with Brie Larson's Captain Marvel and utilize the Quantum Realm in their efforts to undo the decimation from Thanos' snap and bring back half of the universe's population, who were turned to dust by the Mad Titan.
