Mark Ruffalo tweets out the weirdest behind-the-scenes Endgame photo yet
Aux Features Avengers: Endgame
The cast of Avengers: Endgame have been sharing tons of behind-the-scenes content since the film came out, demonstrating that hardly any of them followed the “no phones” rules Marvel apparently has on their super-secret, spoiler-free sets. Mark Ruffalo, a.k.a. “Loose Lips” Ruffalo, has been posting a ton of his own gems. The latest one shows him, Tom Holland, and Don Cheadle in their motion capture suits, chillin’ and…creating a summoning circle of some kind? Honestly no one truly knows what’s going on here, but Ruffalo urged followers to give only the wildest answers to what’s transpiring between the three. And boy did they succeed.
Many fans shared different variations of London Bridge, including Cheadle who added a nice pun in there with his name.
There were also, of course, pop culture references to the Jonas Brothers, Harry Potter, and the Sanderson Sisters.
And, as we’ve learned over the last week, nothing is safe from Area 51 fever.
And an Endgame meme or memory wouldn’t be complete without somebody bringing up the death of one (1) Tony Stark.
Personally, we’re fans of Tom Holland’s “Christmas tree mocap bros” moniker. We’re also, however, worried that, with both Ruffalo and Holland in the picture, this thing is definitely going to reveal itself to be a spoiler of some kind.

They’re the new Wonder Twins!You’ll never guess which one is Gleek.
It brings me great to pain to say this, but I believe you’re getting your Wonder Twins confused with your Herculoids.
Imagine your pain when you realize he didn’t.
You are completely and utterly right. I thought the monkey’s name was Blip, but that’s from that 60s Space Ghost cartoon instead. And it turns out the Herculoid’s name is fucking Gleep.What’s the AV Club equivalent of handing in my badge and gun?
You do that, but don’t forget to still drink your Ovaltine on your way out.
My Herculoids gave me nothing but pain until i found new Mint Fresh Preperation H. I hardly ever notice them apart from that loverly minty fresh smell every time i pass wind.
It’s obviously Tom Holland. I mean c’mon.
I really hope Tom Holland’s on a riser or other form of elevation, because if he’s the tallest guy in that picture Mark Ruffalo’s a freaking midget.
Square dancing from the POV of the 4th person.
“By the power of GaySkrull! Wait a second; …. LINE!”
There’s a sex position called the Eiffel Tower that comes to mind, but that only requires two people, not counting someone being in the middle. So yeah, I dunno.
Wanna go to Paris?
Surely you mean the unincorporated community near Green Charter Township, Michigan. I’ve already rented us a suite, darling.
This is a more three dimensional version of that. They’re just waiting for Chris Hemsworth to be in the middle.
“We may look ridiculous but we’re well-paaaaaaid!”What they’re doing here is a mystery… oh!
I… find these kinds of scenes depressing. I know that they really have to film it this way to end up with the final on-screen product, but it feels so depressing seeing this kind of thing. Obviously ENDGAME was an entirely different beast from even the average superhero film; others do more actual costumes and sets or on-location.I wonder if it’s entirely depressing to be an actor in that space. And yet somehow they’re total pros who bring so much to the roles. I dunno.
I think it depends on the specific circumstances, and I think this is the polar opposite of Gandalf crying in a little green room for The Hobbit. I’m sure they get to film a lot quicker than if they had to reset a bunch of practical effects, and since they all seem to get along so well, they basically get to have a blast playing make-believe while dangling from wires. And it’s probably a lot less exhausting than running around on location and a lot more fun than letting a stunt person do all the dynamic stuff. That being said, I vastly prefer practical effects, but I completely understand that this is the best approach for this type of juggernaut.
The big difference, which I guess you’re already alluding to, is that here they still seem to be playing off each other rather than performing in isolation.
Yeah. And I think it helps that most of them have worn some sort of practical version of their costumes in past films as these same characters, and they’ve seen the finished results before, so they aren’t taking as massive of a leap of faith, like in the old cliche of actors screaming at a tennis ball on a stick. They probably don’t feel like total idiots holding their hands out and thinking “Pew! Pew! Pew!” because they know there’s a billion bucks behind them and they’ll make it look great.
Sad Gandalf is sad. :(Appreciate the perspective. Like I say, I get that endgame in particular is on hell of a beast. I just hope they get to actually act sometimes? 🙂
Habitat for Humanity’s newest innovation – instead of houses made *by* celebrities, houses made *of* celebrities.
Is Cheadle’s loin cloth thing somehow a bow to modesty in the tight suit?
They are highlighting that all movie stars are short with gigantic heads. That’s what “It Factor” means.
I gotta admit, when I see pics like this I have an entirely new level of respect for them as actors. Hard enough to act in an actual scene in an actual costume, but to have to pretend to be someone else while basing that character’s actions on literally everything else being imaginary at the same time has got to be challenging.
