It has long been rumoured that some key players, given the sheer size of the cast, could become fatalities in the upcoming blockbuster.
Asked directly by MTV about the possibility of deaths, Russo - who is making the film along with brother Anthony - said: “I think fans should be prepared for some very intense surprises.
“My brother and I believe in stakes. I believe that everything has to have an end at some point in order for it to have value.”
He added: “The audience should be prepared."

“Death has been a presence in the MCU up until now,” he reasoned.
“Thanos - death follows him like a shadow.”
