Avengers: Infinity War kicked off with Thanos attacking Thor, Loki, and The Hulk, and things ended in tragedy when the God of Mischief was choked to death by the Mad Titan. However, executive producer Trinh Tran has revealed in the "Art Of" book for the movie that Loki's demise was kept a secret from crew members right up until the day the scene was shot. 

"We created a version of the script where Loki would get away in an escape pod at the beginning of the movie," he reveals. "When we started shooting that particular sequence, we had crew members who were thoroughly confused. We had to let them know that those were fake versions of the script that they read."

Many fans believe that Loki could have escaped death at the hands of Thanos by once again using his powers to create some sort of illusion. That would certainly explain how he'll return in a standalone series, unless, of course, that's set at an earlier point in time, possibly between Thor and The Avengers (when he first crossed paths with the Mad Titan).

Do you wish Loki had escaped via an escape pod in Avengers: Infinity War? Sound off below.

Ok, this need for secrecy is just getting out of hand. I mean, really? The crew members cant know the scenes theyre working on until the day of shooting? No movie has ever been ruined because of spoilers. In fact there have been research studies that show spoilers actually INCREASE excitement for a movie or show. And on top of that, half of what we label as spoilers arent even spoilers. Why are we complaining that the last shot of venom was in the trailer when all it tells us is that venoms gonna eat someone and the movie itself tells us the symbiote is still with eddie before the scene happens? Why is lokis death a closely guarded secret when this is something thats happened 2 other times already? Sure those were fake deaths but thor himself isnt even convinced loki is still dead. I mean, can we just pass out nondisclosure agreements and be done with it? Its getting out of hand.

@Origame - I, for one, appreciate the secrecy. For the first time in who-knows-how-long, I went into an MCU movie nearly spoiler-free. And I thrilled to every revelation and death (the Soul Stone’s keeper, for example).

I go the movies to enjoy stories. I only care about learning how it was made after the fact. Imagine going into a illusionists’ performance having watched it being practiced. You basically cease being an audience member and thus negate the performance’s main purpose.

@Origame - what a ridiculous argument. I don't wanna know anything about a film before going in let alone who's gonna die.

@Origame - Knowing the twist of The Sixth Sense terminates the experience of the entire movie. It's not the same, once you have that knowledge. That's just one example.
