Despite a huge, twelve-month long shoot across two movies, Marvel Studios has done an effective job of keeping a shroud of secrecy around Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4, with very little in the way of details and leaks making their way online.
Speaking to Total Film (via CBM), actor Paul Bettany – who portrays The Vision – has revealed one of the lengths that directors Anthony and Joe Russo went to in an effort to prevent any major spoilers from making their way online:
“When I read the script there were fake scenes in it,” said Bettany. “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 script on them.”
