The Russo Brothers' Spoiler-Filled 'Endgame' Interview 

Can you IMAGINE how disappointing it would've been if RDJ didn't have that last line? Gosh. The emotion in his eyes in that one was just the pinnacle.

Its sad how nobody talks about Natashas death, she literaly sacrificed herself just like Tony Stark. :(

What did this Movie Cost? Thanos: “Everything”

It didn't feel like a 3 hour movie

HOLY SHIT I was at the 6pm showing at Westwood Village!! I remember at the end of the movie, everyone turned around at looked at the back of the theater for some reason. We couldn't see who was back there so we just sat back down for the end credit scenes that never showed up. That blows my mind that the Russo brothers were there watching the movie with us. The energy of the theater was definitely insane, probably the best theater experience I've ever had. I'm a little guilty of jumping out of my chair a few times too, especially when Cap got the hammer. Big thanks to the Russos for making me cheer, laugh, and cry all in the same movie :)

Kudos to the editor of the movie for coming up with the "I am Iron Man" line at the end. I cannot believe that was not part of the original script and not part of they way they shot it at first! I cannot imagine this scene without it.

Spiderman: You’re saying there’s a multiverse?? Ok, let’s do this one last time...

Endgame was the best movie theater expriance i ever had and the most fun at the movies i have ever had

The second hand on that clock moves so satisfyingly

joes face always look like he ran over his dog on the way there

I feel that Sam has the same kind of natural optimism and determination that Steve possesses, plus the true-belief in what `Captain America` should stand for. He`s the better fit to take the mantel.

great interview, but is anyone else obsessed about how that clock in the background ticks?

I was waiting for Natashas' sacrifice. That was damn important as well.

Thank god they cut the Thor and Valkyrie kiss. I can already tell that it would’ve felt so unnecessary.

Everytime Joe zones out, I expect "Hello, darkness, my old friend"

3h of movie and I still thinking it shoud have more 30 minutes

Bucky and Steve are best friends but their personal characters and life story can still be opposite.And Bucky is the white wolf now he will has his own stories healing himself physically and mentally so he might not be the best one to take the shield. The only thing i want to say is that James Buchanan Barnes was also a "dedicated soldier", who sacrificed in the mission and just did not have the luck to serve his country as he wished.

Watching this & the D&D behind the episode interviews for season 8 is like night & day. The way these guys have crafted stories around the characters compared to D&D's fixation with 'epic moments' really makes a massive difference in the emotional impact.

OMG, Tony Saying I am Iron Man before snapping almost didn't happen!

That man DID say “Tobey” right!?!

14:25 Did he really refer to Spiderman as Toby lol? 😂

This could have been 16hrs long. I can’t wait for the dvd commentary

14:25 “You were talking with Tobey-“ This man still living in 2002 lmao

The other gay character so far was the Valkyrie. She had a scene with a woman leaving her bedroom that was cut from Thor Ragnarok and the woman who dove in front of her in the Hela flashback was her lover.

I'm really just waiting for an HD version of that majestic image of the cap standing up against thano's army alone, oficially my favorite image of a movie

When they go back to first Avengers sequence that was just "AMAZING".

Chris Evans is coming back to the MCU as Human Torch

russo bros def warned these guys not to ask how cap return the soul stone 😂😂😂

Two geniuses that deserve all the success. Thank you Russo bros for giving us the perfect ending to the characters we love

Tony's death was the ultimate full circle moment. Because when he escaped captivity in Iron Man, Yinsen told him not to waste his life, and he didn't, he saved the whole planet.

My theatre clapped three times when I saw it about a week ago. When Cap caught the hammer, when Tony said “I... am... Iron Man” and snapped his fingers, and then a third time in between, I can’t remember what it was bc there were so many awesome moments. Also when Black Panther walked out some kid in my theatre yelled “WAKANDA FOREVA” and half of the people there laughed and “aww”ed. I loved this film so much; the action was so good that I was giggling the entire last hour, and I got chills when we finally saw all these heroes together, ready to fight (the way Civil War should’ve gone, but it’s fine, I’m more than happy with Endgame). I don’t cry during movies, but pretty much everything in the last few scenes made me tear up. Thinking about the big picture while watching the end of the story is what got me; comic book movies weren’t that big when Iron Man came out, but they turned into a hit soon afterwards. TV could have never even dreamed of such a huge universe (except for maybe Power Rangers. I mean they were the ones who started the huge crossovers if you think about it🤠), and Marvel did it within 11 years. The passion and dedication that went into all of the movies really shows, and it makes me happy that this is becoming the standard now. I love Marvel for pulling this off, and I can’t wait for everything else that’s to come. I’m buying tickets for Spider-Man: Far From Home as soon as they come out no matter how expensive they get.

Special thanks for the Russos, never felt this emotinal in a comicbook before since Logan. The 3rd act was pure comicbook joy.

5:28 "How do we break Cap? So we spent several movies trying to break Cap, and we're glad that we couldn't." See, that right there is so telling. They have huge respect for the character but did everything they could to make him interesting, not just expecting that he would be automatically. Ever since the Russos stepped in, Cap has been my favourite Avenger. I found him extremely boring prior to Winter Soldier. The talent these two have is incredible.

I like the Russo brothers very much, they are very chilled and do make jokes. We all get the idea that directors are very serious and introverted but they are very good in interviews and make jokes and everything. I loved seeing them in the Avengers EndGames clips having fun with the cast and well playing games with them like hosts of Game shows. It gives you the vibe they are that chill when they are shooting. They work and have fun at the same time

Russo Brothers movie ranking 4. Civil War: Great 3. Winter Soldier: Awesome 2. Infinity War: Fantastic 1. EndGame: Absolutely Brilliant

I’ve been waiting for this interview for weekkkkkssssss

I love the russo brothers interview as much as i love the actors interview Edit:so many likes . Thank you

When they actually snuck in the cinemas to see the fans reaction themselves is just amazing.

But Hemsworth must not have liked putting the wig back on. lol That's one of the reasons why they decided to shorten Thor's hair in Ragnarok.

Joe Russo looks so tired they deserve to rest.

Trouble is Tony tried to sacrifice himself in the original Iron Man, and in the Avengers.

WHY THE HELL DID YOU GUYS NOT ASK ABOUT WHY THEY KILLED OFF BLACK WIDOW???!???!! THAT WAS SAD AF TOO!!!

24 minutes and not one person asked about Loki. The oppurtunities

Love these guys 3000. They've made so many of our childhoods come to life literally...

Really good questions in this interview!! :)

OMG, guys!! We are here for Tony and Pepper's wedding.🥳🥳 Moments later..... OMG guys, this is Tony's funeral. 😢😢

See, they explain thors arc very well. People think they ruined his character and made him a joke. You need to see the realism of it .

The better interpretation is that Bucky has had a past that continues to haunt him , and then the present also pushed him back into a warzone. He just wants to stop fighting and like Cap he just wishes to live a normal life. By not choosing Bucky , Cap also was giving Bucky the chance for him to live a fulfilling life away from war and suffering .

the theatre experience for Endgame was impressive. i cant remember watching a movie where the audience was cheering like sports fans during multiple parts of the movie. usually in a blockbuster you may get a few loud laughs and the odd cheer, but nothing like the rawr that came out of my theatre when Cap grabbed the hammer. they really know how to push peoples buttons! ...giving the fans what they wanted to see... who would have thought?

This answered a LOT of questions I had wow THANK YOU for this. I am going to see it again soon so this will give me a new perspective.

The moments that got my auditorium cheering was 1.Stan Lee cameo 2.Captain America getting the hammer 3.Doctor Strange’s first portal / Black Panther coming out of the portal 4. Pepper Potts as Rescue 5.”AVENGERS!! assemble” But the biggest reaction was when Spider-Man came back, no joke everyone in the auditorium just lost it.

"Tobey"????

LMAO Thor tryin to kiss Val woulda been hilarious wished they dint cut that, Chris is such a funny dude. Hyped to see both of em again in Men in Black 😎

Love this podcast. Thank you!

These guys are awesome. I could listen to them talk about their work for a few more hours and never get bored. Give them a Star Wars trilogy!

Can't believe they're defining Bucky as someone damaged. He isn't, it was against his will and he was healed in Wakanda. I even think he deserves to be Captain America than Falcon. Power wise and character progression wise.

They seem so chill & cool.......love them.😍❤

Great interview! The hosts managed to keep themselves not too close to being just a fan, so they could ask critical questions

Exactly I watched this in the theaters and everyone was jumping and screaming as Cap picked up the hammer and everyone in the end credits, everyone screamed and cheered when IRON MAN popped up.

6:42 "Does that mean there's another world where we're gonna see Chris Evans as cap again?" Cap already answered your question. No, he doesn't want to tell you what that was like.

The energy for an Avengers film and for most MCU films IS hard to find. I’ve never seen it for any other movie except Phantom Menace. That’s it. And we all left the theater disappointed in Phantom Menace and we’ve always left the theater after an Avengers film super hyped.

I liked the funeral. As the camera went from pepper at the front to fury at the back you could really appreciate all the characters one by one and it was nice to see them all together at the same level - simply as people

One day there's going to be a "who was" book on these guys, I'm telling you

$10 bucks says Mysterio is gay. Broke back Mysterio

Joss Whedon is the lord of the geeks *Russo Brothers: Hold our beers.*

Excellent interview!

So great listening to these guys' thoughts on the story. Incredible filmmakers.

We spent several movies trying to break cap and were glad that we couldn't. Brilliant and true. Marvel studios actually understand characterisation.

Thank you RDJR, for coming back and saying you ICONIC scene!

Captain America: Winter Soldier is the GOAT

These guys spent years of their lives giving the fans some of the best entertainment they could have hoped for. I love rewatching their stuff, and look forward to rewatching Endgame in the future. Congratulations on such a graceful end to the story arc!

Did he say Tobey (Maguire) when he meant to say Tom (Holland)? They were so gracious not to correct him.

They should have old man Steve Rogers make a brief appearance in the next Avengers movie with the new avengers

Shout out to the editor for one of the most iconic moments in the mcu!!!

They came to our screening in Hollywood! It was amazing to see them thank the fans before the movie.

The russos are the best mainstream directors working today

i want tea on widow's arc maaaaan. can we not forget about her plsss :((

I thought of the "end credits sound" of Stark hammering/making the first suit as "past is prologue" and I stick by that - especially if we go back to The Eternals in a few movies as coming full circle in storytelling about "before the Avengers, before Asgard" etc.

Just saw it today it was awesome

Imagine if 16:00 was actually in the movie I would have died lmao

Interestingly, the writers disagree about Cap being in an alternate timeline. They say he's still in that universe, and just went back to his own time, creating 2 Caps for that world. That I think makes more sense to me.

They are so awesome and fascinating

This is the best video ever!

The only problem with Sam being the new Captain America is his lack of enhanced strength like Steve Rogers. Bucky has it, but their explanation why he didn't get the shield makes sense, but they should address the strength issue with Sam in a later movie.

My favorite MCU movies were done by the Russo's

Even the interviews still get to me after 2 viewings 2 weeks later

Great talk

Tony’s death makes me feel like I lost an family member

We def need TIME STAMPS

Great interview! Fantastic movie! I watched it to end 2020. A great ending for a horrible year!

These directors are so amazing

No talk of Black Widow? Hmm.

I’ve watched the movie twice already and both times the movie did not feel like 3 hours

The moment when mjilnor flies over to thor confirming he's still worthy of great power, despite he is a fat, depressed alcoholic, is such a moment for that character

Beautiful interview. Got closure :-)

Joe Russo was also in Capt America Winter Soldier as well.

How did they not talk about natasha throughout the whole interview!!!!!! That is my problem with her death, it is heroic, it makes sense, it shows how amazing she is, but no one seems to notice... she is being belittled in the same way she has been throughout the years ugh

The nuance of the story is about greater good vs self interest as howard stark mentioned Tony started with self interest but ended with choosing the greater good by getting rid of thanos and his army Steve started doing things for the greater good but ended up choosing self interest being with peggy

Thank you 3k! ❤️❤️❤️
