Recently, we've seen LEGO sets, action figures, and a tonne of promo art for Avengers: Endgame and all of it has shed at least some light on what we should expect from the movie...right?
Well, according to directors Joe and Anthony Russo, we shouldn't be paying too much attention to these leaks as they don't necessarily represent what we'll see in the film. It's a valid point but, at this point, not seeing those white "Quantum Realm" suits in the Avengers: Infinity War sequel would be downright mind-boggling.
"What’s interesting about toy leaks is that 99% of the time, they’re not accurate," Joe explained, "because toys are, frankly, tailored to either old concepts or completely different concepts than what’s in the movie." We actually saw that with the last movie as a toy featuring The Hulk smashing out of the Hulkbuster armour didn't represent what we saw on screen thanks to reshoots.
"I laugh a lot when those toy leaks show up because I’m like, well, that’s great, because that’s a misdirect [laughs]. Because it has nothing to do with the film."
Honestly, they were going to say that, especially when the toys we have seen do reveal quite a few possible plot spoilers. We won't know more until Avengers: Endgame is released (or until we see more from the movie) but be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below.

what our first look at the original six Avengers tells us about the film.
The Hulk Really Looks Like Bruce Banner
I think it's fair to say that this freaked us all out, right? Despite looking like his normal self in promo art, the first live-action shot of the Jade Giant bears more of a resemblance to Bruce Banner than ever before...he basically looks like a green Mark Ruffalo!
However, I think there's a good reason for this. With The Hulk unwilling to come out and fight after being easily bested by Thanos, Banner could have finally found a way to control the "other guy," all while retaining his intelligence. There's precedent in the comic books for this and if The Hulk basically is Banner now, that might explain why their appearances have merged somewhat.
It's definitely a weird direction to take things in but one that will hopefully end up making sense from a story perspective.
