Fan tries to uncover title of next ‘Avengers’ movie that Mark Ruffalo may have revealed

• Bruce Banner/Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo may have revealed the
  “Avengers 4” title in an interview on “The Tonight Show.”
• It was bleeped out, but a fan may have uncovered what Ruffalo
  said using audio-editing software.
• Spoiler alert: The potential title is “The Last Avenger.”
• While it’s unlikely that Ruffalo actually revealed the title,
  it wouldn’t be the first time he’s slipped up, and that title
  makes thematic sense.

Spider-Man actor Tom Holland is known for being the Marvel
Cinematic Universe’s most notorious spoiler, but
Mark Ruffalo, who plays Bruce Banner/Hulk, is giving him a run
for his money.

During Friday’s “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon,” Ruffalo
may have revealed the title of next year’s “Avengers: Infinity
War” sequel. The fourth “Avengers” film’s title has been shrouded
in secrecy, but Fallon convinced Ruffalo to spill the beans — or
did he?

The potential title was bleeped out on air, so it’s unknown
whether Ruffalo actually said the title, or if it was simply a
pre-planned bit all in good fun. Considering how secretive the
production has been, it’s probably the latter. But if what
Ruffalo said actually was the movie’s title, a fan
may have uncovered it through audio-editing software.

Twitter user Anton Volkov tweeted the video on Sunday which
reveals that Ruffalo seems to be saying “The Last Avenger.”

The title makes sense from a thematic standpoint: “Avengers 4”
marks a turning point for the MCU, as it will likely focus on
other franchises beyond
Avengers afterward, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger. And
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has said that this era of
the MCU is “gearing towards a conclusion”
with “Avengers 4.”

Captain America actor Chris Evans also appears to be leaving the
franchise after “Avengers 4,” and tweeted a heartfelt farewell to the
character last week after he wrapped filming on the movie.
“Captain America: The First Avenger” was Evans’ debut as the
character in 2011, so “Avengers 4” being called “The Last
Avenger” would bring his storyline full circle.

It still seems unlikely though that Ruffalo would reveal the
title, but he’s slipped up before. During an interview nearly a
year before the movie came out, Ruffalo revealed that “everybody
dies,” which is half-true.

“Avengers 4” comes to theaters May 3, 2019.
