The Cast of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Were Given Fake Scripts To Protect Its Secrets
The team at Marvel went to great lengths to protect the big major spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War. It turns out they went so far as to give fake freakin' scripts to the cast of the film! With this level of secrecy, it wouldn't surprise me if most of the stuff that we are seeing in the trailers for the movie won't even be in the final film! Wouldn't that be insane!? What if these trailers are all fake, shielding us from what is actually going to happen in the movie. I doubt they'd go that far, but if they did... I'd be super impressed.
During an interview with Hey U Guys, after Marvel shared some footage (could be fake!) with the fans, Paul Bettany explained that the cast was given fake scripts.
"The secrecy around this film extended, this time, to the cast. I mean, really, it was crazy. We read scripts that were fake scripts and then they had fake twists and scenes that never were shot and you'd talk to the director and they'd say 'all of that stuff at the end? Not happening.'"
Wow! So, it just wasn't Tom Holland being given fake information! It was everyone. Remember when Holland was shooting scenes and didn't even know who he was supposed to be fighting? Bettany also said:
"When I read the script, there were fake scenes in it. I got the directors on the phone and they walked me through what were the fake scenes. They'd had three leaks already, so they'd written a script with lots of fake scenes. There were three Hero iPads that had the only real scripts on them."
Just yesterday, we learned that even the cast of the film won't be seeing the full movie until it's released on April 27th, when the rest of us will see it. Gotta love Marvel.
