Last week, my husband and I watched all of the Avengers movies. I find I still really love all of them, especially Infinity War and Endgame. They’re so satisfying, heartbreaking, and well-made that I keep going back to them. I was especially moved by the Twitter posts a week or so ago where someone shared excellent scenes with the opening night audience’s reactions. They gave me chills.
Sharing #Endgame for the first time last year, with each and every one of you, was the most thrilling and rewarding moment in our careers. THANK YOU. We eagerly await the day that we can all be back together in a theater, sharing these experiences once again…#AvengersAssemble pic.twitter.com/c9tu7NzEaH

All of that to say that when I can see behind-the-scenes stuff about these movies, I’m all in. The Russo Brothers had #AvengersAssemble trending last night as they dropped trivia and videos from their experience making Infinity War and Endgame. They tweeted along while watching the flick with Robert Downey Jr.
They shared the last days on set for RDJ and Chris Evans.
Downey’s last day on set after shooting the “I am Iron Man” moment. The very definition of a legend. We love this man 3000. @RobertDowneyJr #AvengersAssemble pic.twitter.com/wIiQ5AwsDJ

Their favorite, most difficult, and most emotional scenes to shoot.
We had to reshoot this scene between Hulk and the Ancient One. Hardest scene to get right in either movie because of the time travel exposition. Exposition is harder to shoot than behavior… #AvengersAssemble

This was a very difficult scene for @karengillan. She had to lay on a platform 6ft in the air with her head tilted up for hours. A very cool and lovely human being. But let’s face it, all the Scots are cool…Here’s a model of the set. #AvengersAssemble pic.twitter.com/pvD2Npd3gX

This was definitely one of the more touching scenes to shoot. @ChrisEvans’s performance in Peggy’s office is… #AvengersAssemble pic.twitter.com/guUeVTuoFM

That long crane shot to find Cap and Peggy in the window… our favorite shot in the movie. #AvengersAssemble

The Russos had family in several scenes of the films.
This is Joe’s daughter, Ava, playing Lila Barton. AND @JeremyRenner’s actual daughter’s name is Ava, so spot on casting there… #AvengersAssemble pic.twitter.com/OqcxYFW6wa

Joe’s 2 oldest kids (Sophia and Basil) are in this memorial scene… can you find ‘em? #AvengersAssemble

We’ve got some more Russo family cameo’s here. That’s Joe’s daughter, Lia, Anth’s son, Julian, and our nephew, Augie. Lia loved the memes of her dabbing when this first came out… well, maybe love is a strong word… #AvengersAssemble pic.twitter.com/ggT5LBVE0M

And just general shenanigans.
See…he’s not that old…@ChrisEvans #AvengersAssemble pic.twitter.com/8yBoGUp9Zr

Here’s Cull Obsidian to scale…Joe wanted to hold his hand. #AvengersAssemble pic.twitter.com/cs63z80LqZ

We have thirty glorious minutes of improv of @DonCheadle destroying Thor after his veins tee up…What do you guys think some of those zingers were? Also, check out Don in @SHOBlackMonday. He’s f**king hilarious. #AvengersAssemble

We put Michael Douglas in a crazy wig so we could make him look like Michael Douglas from The Streets of San Francisco. But he just ended up looking like Michael Douglas in a crazy wig… #AvengersAssemble
