Avengers: Infinity War ended in dramatic fashion. The evil Thanos snapped his fingers and half the entire galaxy`s population--including many beloved superheroes--perished. Writer Stephen McFeely said in a new interview that `the snap` wasn`t always part of the movie.Instead, McFeely told Empire that the writers considered waiting until the second act of Avengers: Endgame for Thanos to cut the world`s population in half.`We had so much story in those early drafts of Infinity War that, if anything, we thought we maybe shouldn`t do `the snap` until the end of act one of Endgame,` he said.Marvel boss Kevin Feige is also quoted in the story, saying that the writing and creative teams spent `years` considering the best way to tell the story of Infinity War and the overarching narrative. It was ultimately decided that Infinity War would end with `the snap,` and this was truly a dramatic way to end the film.`We talked about that ending for years and years and years,` he explained. `It was the reason to adapt Infinity Gauntlet. What was the most shocking thing we could do? End the movie with `the snap.``While the ending to Infinity War was unquestionably dramatic, many fans believe `the snap` may be undone in Endgame, given that many of the characters who perished have future movies in the pipeline. According to writer Christopher Markus, the deaths from Infinity War are `real,` at least in some fashion.`It is a different movie than you think it is,` Markus said about Endgame. `We broke your heart. Now we`re going to blow your mind.`Endgame is Marvel`s next movie, and it`s set to release in late-April around the world. It follows Captain Marvel, the Brie Larson-starring film that broke box office records. Endgame wraps up 10-plus years worth of storytelling, and it`s expected to be the final film in Marvel`s Phase 3 of its cinematic universe. You can see the latest Endgame trailer embedded above.
