Marvel fans, along with cast and crew, have created a hashtag to prevent spoilers of new superhero film Avengers: Endgame.
The upcoming Marvel Studios film will bring an end to the story which began in 2008 with Iron Man, and fans are desperate to come to the cinema completely spoiler-free.
The hashtag #DontSpoilTheEndgame was popularized by Mark Ruffalo, who plays The Hulk, after he tweeted a letter written by directors the Russo brothers, asking fans to keep the secrets of the film after they see it.

The letter read:
“Because so many of you have invested your time, your hearts, and your souls into these stories, we're once again asking for you help."
“When you see Endgame in the coming weeks, please don't spoil it for others, the same way you wouldn't want it spoiled for you."
