In a surprising revelation, Joe Russo, director of Avengers: Infinity War, disclosed that they made last-minute changes to Spider-Man's death scene on the day of filming, aiming to make fans weep buckets. During an interview with CBR for a retrospective on Avengers: Infinity War, Russo and Robert Downey Jr. discussed the emotional impact of the snap at the movie's end. With half of the heroes turning to dust, fans were still left teary-eyed in the theater. The death that hit hardest was arguably Spider-Man's, a deliberate choice by Russo. Originally scripted as "I don't feel so good" followed by "I'm sorry," Russo sought to amp up the emotion and said, "How do we get them to really, really cry at this scene? I brought [Tom Holland] over and told him, 'You don't want to go. You're 16 years old; it's the last thing you want is to die.'" This led to Peter Parker essentially begging Tony Stark for his life out of fear of death. Russo explained that they knew Spider-Man's death would be the most impactful, so they invested a lot of time developing the relationship between Peter Parker and Tony Stark to make it even more poignant. "We milked the s**t out of it; it takes the longest of any [of the deaths]. But also, the relationship for the movie, writing backwards, is we know if we're going to break your heart, then we should have a fun relationship that's sort of mentor/mentee, but the mentee is a pain in the butt. And you didn't want him to come along, and you're trying to protect him, and exactly what you didn't want to happen, happens." Joe Russo will reunite with his directing partner and brother, Anthony Russo, as well as Robert Downey Jr., for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The trailers for Doomsday have hinted at their Marvel return, but we'll have to wait and see if it can match the emotional heights of Infinity War and Endgame.
