Avengers: Endgame
Almost comically oversized pinches of salt at the ready, but pictures purported to be of action figures for the movie—that have allegedly hit Vietnamese markets—give us new looks at the long-rumored “space suits” for several of the original Avengers, as well as our first look at a new outfit for Thor: Ragnarok’s Valkyrie, Hawkeye/Ronin’s comics-style mask, and a slightly different armored update for Thanos:
Whether these are all strictly just for the merchandise—in a wild attempt to keep as much of the actual plot of Endgame as secret as possible—or actually part of the movie remains to be seen, however.
Speaking of Ronin, Jeremy Renner is the latest cast member to wrap reshoots on Avengers: Endgame.
