Avengers: Infinity War director Joe Russo revealed that they changed Spider-Man’s death scene on the day it was filmed to try to make audiences cry.<\/p>\n

When speaking with CBR for a retrospective on Avengers: Infinity War, Joe Russo and Robert Downey Jr. began talking about the impact of the snap at the end of the movie. Half of the heroes crumble into dust, not to be seen again until the end of the next movie, Avengers: Endgame. While most people knew these characters would return, it didn’t stop the moment from being emotional in the theater. The death that got fans the hardest is arguably Spider-Man’s, which was by design, according to Russo.<\/p>\n

“In the script, it was, ‘I don’t feel so good,’ and he goes ‘I’m sorry,'” said Russo. “I don’t mind a good cry in a movie theater, so I was like, how do we get them to really, really cry at this scene? I brought [Tom Holland] over, and I said, ‘You don’t want to go. You’re 16 years old; it’s the last thing you want, is to die.'”<\/p>\n
