We are just 9 days away from the release of Avengers: Endgame, and for those who have been avoiding trailers and any kind of spoilers, social media may not be so kind as four minutes of footage from the final chapter in the current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe leaked online. The footage was recorded on an iPhone during what appeared to be a theatrical showing of the completed film (the location hasn’t been confirmed, but the reported presence of Arabic subtitles suggest it might have been somewhere in the Middle East).
The content of those four minutes won’t be revealed here, but they involve some major revelations from Endgame’s climax. Meanwhile, a separate spoiler leak has outlined some of the events of the film’s first act. Select South Korean audiences saw 20 minutes of Endgame at a press event in Seoul, and extensive summaries quickly went up on Reddit.
In the wake of these back-to-beak leaks, the Russos released a letter to the internet at large requesting fans’ assistance in keeping the movie’s many secrets until everyone can see it for themselves on April 26.

“Please know that the two of us, along with everyone involved in Endgame, have worked tirelessly for the last three years with the sole intention of delivering a surprising and emotionally powerful conclusion to the Infinity Saga,” the duo wrote. “Because so many of you have invested your time, your hearts, and your souls into these stories, we’re once again asking for your help.”
I urge everyone to be careful when browsing social media over the next 9 days to avoid any potential spoilers.
