The Avengers: Endgame publicity campaign has been non-stop over the last two weeks and now the press tour has come to the UK. Thor’s Chris Hemsworth and Ant-Man’s Paul Rudd were on the GRAHAM NORTON SHOW on Friday evening and Rudd decided to share with the audience one of the hilarious fan theories he had heard about how they beat Thanos…
Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson and Paul Rudd have attended a fan screening event in Picturehouse Central in London and also took part on the movie’s official photocall on top of the Corinthia Hotel. The Ant-Man actor made reference to the fan theories that had been circulating around social media about how they think the miniature avenger helps to defeat Thanos…
“I think I know the theory you’re talking about. A lot of people have asked me lately if I shrink down and go… ” He stops, then continues, “the theory is called the ‘thanus’… and go into Thanos in a certain orifice and then go grow giant size…”
As the others agree that would probably do the job, Rudd questions why they would not hypothesise any other route such as the ear or the nose. Well, we kind of agree with him on that…
Last year’s Avengers: Infinity War saw the titular superhero team take the fight to Thanos in order to stop his quest of exterminating half of the universe’s population with the Infinity stones, but it was to no avail, as he was able to successfully collect them all and snap his fingers, wiping out half of everyone from existence in a cloud of ash, including Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), King T’Challa/Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Groot (Vin Diesel), Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Mantis (Pom Klementief), Drax (Dave Bautista), Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), as well as Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), Hope van Dyne/Wasp (Evangeline Lily), Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), though Fury was able to send a signal to Captain Marvel (Brie Larson).
Having lost so many popular cast members at the end of INFINITY WAR was so devastating, however ENDGAME will see the return of many familiar faces. Confirmed cast members for the untitled fourth Avengers film so far include Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olson, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Sebastian Stan, Don Cheadle, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Pom Klementieff, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Sean Gunn, Tom Holland, Paul Rudd, Jon Favreau, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Evangeline Lilly, Katherine Langford and Josh Brolin.
