Warning: Spoilers for Avengers: Endgame below.
Now that the spoiler ban has lifted on Avengers: Endgame, the cast and crew have been sharing behind-the-scenes footage and pictures from the shoot - offering an insane look into the complexity of the production.
Star Chris Evans, who plays Captain America in the franchise, has been sharing behind-the-scenes clips of what appears to be the final battle scene in the record-breaking blockbuster superhero film.
One clip shows an insane congregation of stars in costume, hanging out amongst rubble and debris and surrounded by a green screen background. Mark Ruffalo (in a motion-capture suit), Danai Gurira, Robert Downey Jr, Paul Rudd, Jeremy Renner and Chadwick Boseman can be seen chatting, while Tessa Thompson and Evangeline Lilly share a laugh in another conversation.
There’s so much to love in this little clip:

Video ban lifted! I guess I’m not the only one who broke the rules on this day of filming.
