Avengers – Infinity War finally arrives in this month of April 2018 and the least we can say is that fans are shuddering with impatience. Less than a month before the release of the film, the Russo brothers (in charge of the direction) wanted to pass a message through Thanos, villain of the shadows teased since the first Avengers.

To the world's biggest fans
We're about to embark on the Avengers: Infinity War press tour. We will meet fans around the world by showing only a few selected images of the film to avoid spoiling the story for future viewers.
We won't be showing the film in its entirety until the premiere in Los Angeles shortly before the worldwide release. Everyone involved in it has worked very hard over the past two years to maintain the highest level of confidentiality. Only a handful of people know the real plot of the film.
We ask you, when you see Avengers – Infinity War in the coming months, to maintain the same level of privacy so that all fans can have the same experience seeing it for the first time. Don't spoil others, the same way you wouldn't like to be spoiled.
Good luck and good viewing.

It is a message full of pragmatism that the Russo brothers convey to us through Thanos, the main antagonist of their film. It is true that spoilers are legion on social networks and Infinity War will surely not escape the rule. If this will not prevent some trolls from let off steam on various forums, this message should reduce the risks a little (remains to be seen for how long). Note that Tom Holland reacted with humor to this statement with a Tweet full of self-mockery :

This letter was originally intended for me
For those who do not understand the reference: Tom Holland is a regular of the gaffe (more or less calculated) live. He had announced last June that Spiderman – Homecoming was planned to be a trilogy (which was not at all confirmed at the time).
This letter from Thanos/aka the Russo brothers was quickly followed by an absolutely hilarious parody, published by the website Funny or Die.

To the world's biggest group of assholes
We're about to drop this Avengers on your grill. Worldwide release Baby. And we worked really hard on this damn movie. Watch the credits after the seventeen post-credits scenes. There's kind of a million special effects people who didn't see their kids for years because they were working on rendering Thor's pubic hair.
All you're asked to do is not ruin the movie to people who won't see it at exactly midnight because they don't want to sit next to people like you. Because many of you feel like Thor's pubic hair.
So for pity's sake, don't jump on the internet for spoilers, even if we know you're going to do it anyway because that's all you have in your miserable existence.
Suck b*** in the rain.

Paradoxically, such a parody missive may well be more dissuasive than the original letter sent by the Russo brothers. A written style that recalls a well-known character from the Marvel stable, whose second film will be released on May 16. We let you guess which character we are thinking of. Hint: he loves chimichangas!
Avengers – Infinity War arrives on April 25 and promises to be one of the biggest successes of this year 2018 (and maybe of all time). Let's hope it lives up to our expectations!
