Avengers: Endgame fans 'beat up man outside cinema after he revealed movie's surprise ending'

AVENGERS: Endgame fans beat a man outside a cinema after he revealed the movie's surprise ending, it has been reported.

Pictures show the man struggling to sit upright on blood-spattered pavement outside a cinema in Hong Kong.

Filmgoers had been in a lengthy queue waiting to watch the highly anticipated film, AsiaOne news reported.

But unable to contain his own excitement, the man began to shout out a series of spoilers in the queue.

In a fit of rage, and apparently trying to stop him revealing more, a group began to beat him up.

The photo was circulated on social media and prompted a range of comments with many expressing their joy after seeing the picture.

DON'T RUIN IT

Some reportedly said it "felt good seeing this" while others insisted "he got his just desserts served".

The film directors, The Russo Brothers, posted an open letter to fans in a bid to stop them ruining the plot for others.

They said: "To the greatest fans in the world, this is it. This is the end.

"The end of an unprecedented narrative mosaic spanning eleven years and eleven franchises.

"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.

"Remember, Thanos still demands your silence.

"As always, good luck and happy viewing. #DontSpoilTheEndgame."

Their letter came reportedly five minutes after the film was leaked online.

Thousands of fans pre-booked tickets to catch the long-awaited finale.

It smashed records for advance ticket sales, beating the mark set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

And Endgame is expected to top the TWO BILLION dollars raked in by the previous instalment in the series, Infinity War.
