Mark Ruffalo has already spoiled at least one of the five endings he was forced to shoot for Avengers: Endgame, due to his tendency to spoil endings.

“He gets married in this,” Ruffalo told E! News in an interview, while pointing towards Chris Evans. Evans, who plays Captain America opposite Ruffalo’s Hulk, confirmed that he had filmed such a scene, but it’s unlikely that the official version of the film contains the wedding.

"I shot like five different endings for this movie," Ruffalo admitted. "I didn't even get a whole script to this movie. I don’t know why. The script I did get had dummy scenes in it.”

"Mark's a real liability,” Evans said of his cast mate, who famously spoiled the ending of Avengers: Infinity War last year by telling a reporter “Everybody dies.” “They have to throw Mark off the scent.”

In the same interview, Karen Gillan, who plays Nebula in the film, confirmed that Ruffalo wasn’t alone in being distrusted by Marvel, noting that she’d been given scripts with missing parts as well. But Ruffalo, who still doesn't know how the movie ends, is apparently a primary target of the film’s anti-spoiler campaign.

"You have earned no trust in the Marvel universe,” Evans told Ruffalo. Unlike Gillan, Evans did not mention receiving fake scripts that were not directly geared towards tricking the Hulk.

Ruffalo, for what it’s worth, does seem to be newly aware of his habits.

“Ah, you see how she did that?” he exclaimed to Evans and Gillan when E! News asked for details of the new film’s fight scenes. “You're really good.”

The now-sage actor, backed by his cast mates, refused to give details, but did say “There are other ways to win than just fighting,” which possibly spoiled another ending he was forced to film, in which the Avengers win with other ways than just fighting.
