Superhero flick Avengers: Endgame has been shrouded in mystery, with fans all over the world waiting to find out what will happen to some of their favourite characters.

But according to the film's directors, the Russo brothers, it's not just the fans who have been left in the dark about the upcoming movie, Spider-Man himself Tom Holland wasn't even given a script.

Speaking at an event ahead of its release, the directors dropped the news that the 22-year-old just couldn't be trusted with such sensitive information as he's been known to drop spoilers in the past.

Joe Russo said: "Tom Holland does not get the script. Tom Holland gets his lines and that's it. He doesn't even know who he's acting opposite of. We'll just, we use like very vague terms to describe to him what is happening in the scene, because he has a very difficult time keeping his mouth shut."

The actor wasn't even allowed to know who he was fighting in certain scenes, so as to keep the plot a secret.

And to be fair to them, the Russos have been consistent with their rule and go to pretty extreme lengths to make sure their plot is kept a complete secret.

Last year at a comic convention in Phoenix, Arizona, Spidey explained just how filming works on the set of an Avengers film.

He said: "The Russo brothers are like, 'So, you're just standing here and you're fighting this guy, and just do whatever, and I'm like, 'OK, who am I fighting?' And they were like, 'Well, we can't tell you because it's a secret'. I'm like, 'OK, so what does he look like?' And they're like, 'Well, we can't tell you because that would give it away'."

But with the movie set to hit cinemas from 25 April (in the UK), fans - and Tom - don't have long left to find out what will happen.

Tickets have already gone on sale and it is set to have the biggest opening weekend in US movie history. We can't say we're all that surprised to be fair - fans have been on the edge since the end of Infinity War.

Predictors at Exhibitor Relations have said they expect Avengers: Endgame to make an astonishing $282 million (£212m) on its opening weekend in the United States.

If they're right this would see it surpass the saga's previous movie, Avengers: Infinity War, which holds the current record for the highest grossing film after raking in $258m (£197m) on its opening weekend last year.

Tickets are available on Odeon's website here, for Vue cinemas tickets can be found here.
