Why Was The AVENGERS: ENDGAME Title Considered A Spoiler? Marvel's Kevin Feige Explains
Kevin Feige has claimed that the reason he wasn't at liberty to reveal the title of Avengers 4 was because it was a spoiler for what happens in Infinity War. Now, he offers an explanation... of sorts!
You may recall that while doing the rounds to promote Avengers: Infinity War, Kevin Feige stated that the main reason they were keeping the title for the follow-up under wraps was because it would spoil what happened in the previous film.
This understandably led to a lot of speculation, but when the title of Avengers 4 was finally revealed to be Endgame... well, that's not really a spoiler at all, is it?
During a recent interview with the Marvel head honcho, Collider asked him for an explanation.
“Well, I think I’d said that it all had gotten blown out of proportion to some extent. But it was a spoiler, because if you knew before Infinity War came out that the next movie was called Endgame, then you know that there wasn’t an ending to Infinity War. But that had been the title of the movie from the moment we conceived of doing the two films. In large part, because…it’s seeded right there. I mean, it’s seeded in Ultron.”
We can kind of see where Feige is coming from, but a far more likely explanation is that they didn't want to reveal the title until they were good and ready, and wanted to keep the fans guessing in the meantime.
After all, The Russo Brothers flat-out denied that the movie was called Endgame on several different occasions, so it's always best not to put too much stock in anything these guys say when quizzed about something they're simply not ready or willing to divulge.
