As anticipation has been building for
Avengers: Endgame, the press tour for has been keeping fans in check. Revealing intriguing details without spoiling anything major when it comes to the plot, Joe and Anthony Russo have served as safekeepers before the film's historical opening weekend.
Speaking to Collider, the directing team did divulge a few details regarding their development process. More specifically, they pinpointed how they came up with then ending, and at which point in development the final moments were decided:
When we were working on both Infinity War and Endgame, the first thing we did was break the ending of Endgame. Because we wanted to know where we were going. It’s very hard to tell a story if you don’t know where you’re going . . . We spent months in a room just talking about a three-page outline. Literally, page one is act one, page two is act two, page three is act three. Because you have to know in a contained document like that, ‘Here’s where we start, here’s what happens in the middle, here’s where it ends.’ If you know that, it’s a lot easier to get to script. A more malleable format to work in a short outline like that, spend your time talking about it and thinking it through."
The team further talked about audience expectations and reactions, stating that they don't often think about how fans would react to critical moments. Instead, the Russos, in addtion to writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, stuck to their guts and moral compasses during the mapping of the duology.
