'Avengers: Doomsday' Star's Admission Shows Marvel Is Being More Cautious Than Ever

From the early returns coming to light about the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday film, Marvel seems to once again be doing its best to avoid letting literally anything about the movie leak to the public.

While this has been common practice for Marvel ahead of their releases, the attempt to keep a lengthy list of high-profile actors like this quiet is surely even tougher than normal. Based on the latest comments by a new star addition to the Marvel world, Florence Pugh, the studio is prepared to go as far as not even giving scripts out the day before filming.

During an interview with ET Now, Pugh and David Harbour, who are set to star in the upcoming MCU film Thunderbolts*, spoke about their inclusion in Avengers: Doomsday.

According to both Pugh and Harbour, neither had received a script to read yet, which they admitted the day before filming was set to begin.

Pugh jokingly asked Harbour if he thinks they don't have scripts "because they don't trust us." This led to some sarcastic banter, with Harbour candidly admitting that he doesn't know how Marvel gets everyone to remain tight-lipped about the films.

Whether Pugh and Harbour knew something about the film during the interview or not, both passed their initial test of avoiding giving away spoilers with flying colors.

Pugh and Harbour will team up with Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen and others in Thunderbolts*, which is set to be released on May 2, 2025.
