Robert Downey Jr. Spoiled ‘Endgame’ Title In Previous ‘Avengers’ Interview

Robert Downey Jr may have spoiled the Avengers: Endgame title in a previous interview for Age of Ultron.

There has been a lot of retro-analysis going on around the internet ever since the title for the upcoming Avengers flick, Avengers: Endgame, filled our phone screens at the end of the film’s first trailer. People have gone back and pointed out the few times that the term “end game” has been spoken by Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in previous films, leaving many to speculate that “Endgame” has been the planned subtitle for the upcoming project for some time.

Well, here is more fuel for that fire. In a long-forgotten interview for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr, also threw out the phrase “end game.” The superstar was referring to his character’s motivation behind building Ultron in the second Avengers film:

 “He’s working on a system that will make it so that the Avengers really don’t have to do what they’ve been doing all along, which purportedly should be the end game.”

You can watch the snippet of the interview with Robert Downey Jr yourself below:

What do you think? Has Marvel been planning this subtitle this whole time? Or do you think it is a common enough of a word that this all happens to be one big, happy coincidence?

Does your end game include checking out Avengers: Endgame when hits theaters? Let us know in the comments below. Meanwhile, here’s the synopsis of the film:

“Adrift in space with no food or water, Tony Stark sends a message to Pepper Potts as his oxygen supply starts to dwindle. Meanwhile, the remaining Avengers — Thor, Black Widow, Captain America and Bruce Banner — must figure out a way to bring back their vanquished allies for an epic showdown with Thanos — the evil demigod who decimated the planet and the universe.”

Avengers: Endgame will hit theaters on April 26, 2019.
