Warning: This post contains potential spoilers for Avengers: Doomsday.

Wyatt Russell, who played John Walker/U.S. Agent in the MCU, has revealed a scrapped joke from Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday. The joke involved the arrival of the Fantastic Four’s spaceship.

During MegaCon Orlando, Russell opened up about a scene featured in Avengers: Doomsday.

Russell said, “The Fantastic Four spaceship comes up, then I made the joke, ‘What’s the four for?’ I thought it was so funny and I was cracking myself up. Everyone else was like, ‘Oh my god, Wyatt’s an idiot.’”

Russell said he had a “really fun time” filming Avengers: Doomsday with Sebastian Stan and David Harbour.

“You spend so much time with these people in your life, and a lot of time away from your family, and it has to be worth it.

So, when you have people around you like that, it makes the day so much better. Being able to work with them every day is really fun.”

During the filming of Avengers: Doomsday, a set image featuring Wyatt Russell, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Danny Ramirez was leaked online. See it below.

According to scooper MyTimeToShineHello, Doctor Doom is reportedly aboard the extra-dimensional ship shown in the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts*, alongside the Fantastic Four. It will be revealed that his world was destroyed.

Directed by the Russo brothers from a screenplay by their longtime collaborator Stephen McFeely and Michael Waldron.
