SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS: ENDGAME ARE IN THIS ARTICLE.
It's no secret by now that Marvel Studios and
Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo went to extreme lengths to avoid spoilers from leaking out. From partial scripts to complete lies about the scenes being filmed, just about every precaution was taken.
Appearing on the
Jimmy Kimmel Live show following the
debut of the new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, revealed just how one of the saddest and most emotional moments in the film — and probably the MCU in general thus far — was kept a secret from him.
"This is how bad it is for me. I was told it was a wedding," Tom Holland said, referring to filming Tony Stark's funeral scene.
"I showed up to the “wedding”, and I was like, “Where’s Robert?"
Holland, of course, has become notorious for accidentally letting spoilers slip out, though it's debatable as to whether or not these moments are planned. For instance, Holland
"accidentally" revealed an Infinity War poster along with its release date.
Holland isn't the only MCU actor to be treated this way, though. Fellow
Far From Home co-star Zendaya revealed that she and others were also given a heavily redacted script for the upcoming sequel and explained how difficult it can be to learn your lines when everything is blacked out.
While Holland may not have been aware that it was Tony Stark's funeral he was filming, he also wasn't the only actor from other Marvel films to be present for the scene. Cobie Smulders, who plays Agent Maria Hill and will also be appearing in
Far From Home, recalled how amazing and "insane" it was that they were able to pull off filming that scene with so many different people involved. What made things even more confusing for everyone involved was that
Black Panther hadn't even been released yet when the scene was shot, as
Endgame was filmed directly after
Infinity War.
Check out the full interview below. The funeral talk begins around the 5:15 mark, but it's worth watching the entire video becuase the cast also discusses the five-year time jump (which Kimmel mistakenly believes is a plot hole even though it's been explained countless times) and other topics related to
Endgame.
Spider-Man: Far From Home swings into theaters on July 2, 2019.
