Kevin Feige has discussed the secrecy behind the title for Avengers: Endgame, explaining that it would have told fans that Avengers: Infinity War didn’t have an ending.
It took a while but the world is now well aware of the title for Avengers: Endgame. For the longest time, the film’s title was a secret and fans were told to reveal its title would be to spoil Avengers: Infinity War.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has said in a recent interview with Collider that speculation went a little overboard regarding Endgame‘s title but while some have questioned the need for the secrecy, he still believes that the title contains spoilers for Infinity War:
“It was a spoiler, because if you knew before Infinity War came out that the next movie was called Endgame, then you know that there wasn’t an ending to Infinity War. But that had been the title of the movie from the moment we conceived of doing the two films. In large part, because…it’s seeded right there. I mean, it’s seeded in [1Age of Ultron.”
You can see where Feige is coming from with these comments. It would have been promotional malpractice to tell the world that Infinity War’s story wouldn’t be wrapped up in one movie, taking away a lot of the hype and excitement for the 2018 film.
