Chris Evans on Spoiling 'Avengers: Endgame' For Anthony Mackie

Avengers is in the news yet again. However, for a good reason this time. After the Marvel film and other Marvel films being in news for all this time based on Martin Scorcese's comments on the films but this time around, we have Captain America talking about the highest-grossing film of all time, Avengers: Endgame.

The film's spoilers are indeed hard to avoid even if it includes the film's cast. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Evans revealed that he accidentally spoiled a pivotal moment in the Marvel film for co-star Anthony Mackie. In the film, Evans' Captain America handed off his shield to Mackie's character, Falcon.

The actor told Jimmy Fallon on Monday's episode of The Tonight Show that the script was very secretive, though he was given the scene for the moment between his and Mackie's characters.

"While we were filming in Atlanta, I had already read the scene. I had a few people over to watch a football game or something and Mackie was the first one to show up," he said. "I didn't know he didn't know what was gonna happen. And he showed up first and I said, 'Hey man, isn't that scene fantastic?' and he said, 'What scene?' And I said, 'The scene when I give you the shield.' And he said, 'You're giving me the shield?'"

Once Evans realized that Mackie had not yet read the scene, he found a copy of the script for him to read. "I got to watch him read the scene for the first time where he's getting the shield and he was so happy and you immediately feel like, 'Man, maybe I robbed this moment from…maybe Kevin Feige deserved this,'" he said of Marvel's president.  

"It was so nice to share it with him. He was so happy and so deserving," Evans continued. "It was a nice way to kind of have, just between us, the transition of characters. It was great."
