Avengers: Endgame Director Joe Russo Defends That Fake Tony Stark Quote

Actors, actresses, directors and writers are constantly under a microscope, always watching what they say and do. If they mess up, they issue statements, own up or do whatever they can to fix it. It’s when they have to start defending themselves for something they never said nor did that they start wanting to install an off switch on Twitter, though. In fact, Avengers: Endgame‘s director Joe Russo is probably on his way to Lowe’s right now.

Somewhere, sometime on an alternate Earth in a galaxy far, far away, Russo said these words on The Tonight Show:”I’ll be honest. When I heard Tony Stark say ‘billionaire, playboy, philanthropist’ in the first Avengers I decided right then that he would be the big casualty of Endgame. I know he is loved by many. But he is not loved by me. He needs to go.”

Apparently, though, that never happened and now, the director has taken to Twitter to clear the air.

Not only should every true fan of the movie know that Russo would never say that, but even if he believed it, he would never let it be known. Fanboys are some of the most people in the universe, but they can also potentially be the most vicious. The director would get the tar and feather treatment if he actually said that, and maybe not even just proverbially.

Quite a few fans believed the quote to be real though, and broke out the torches and pitchforks. Here are just a few of them:

Some of them couldn’t even take the joke that Russo wanted Tony dead in Captain America: Civil War. Or maybe they’re just furious with themselves because once again, they forgot about Snopes and Google. Not to mention common sense.

Avengers: Endgame is now available to the world digitally. Or, you can wait to relive Joe Russo’s fake favorite moment over and over again starting on August 13th, when it comes out on DVD and Blu-ray.

Listen To Indian Muslims' "Mann Ki Baat": Jama Masjid Shahi Imam To PM

Jama Masjid's Shahi Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari on Friday expressed concerns over the "storm of hatred" in the country, and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to listen to the 'Mann Ki Baat' of Muslims. Citing recent incidents like the Nuh riots and the killing of four persons by a railway police jawan on a running train, Ahmed Bukhari suggested in his Friday sermon at the historic mosque that PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah hold dialogue with intellectuals from the community. "I have been compelled to speak due to the existing situation in the country. The situation in the country is worrisome and a storm of hatred is posing grave danger to peace in the country," Ahmed Bukhari said. "You say your 'Mann Ki Baat' but you also need to listen to the 'Mann Ki Baat' of Muslims. The Muslims are troubled due to the prevailing conditions and worried about their future," Ahmed Bukhari said, referring to PM Modi's monthly radio pro...
