RDJ "had the pleasure of hosting" a lunch on set for the women of the Marvel universe. He snapped and shared two images of the mini get-together.
If you're one of those people who likes to keep the fantasy pure and doesn't want to see the reality behind the magic, then maybe just skip looking at the pictures.
The group is sitting in a covered tent with a large air conditioning hose at the top and some plants to make it a bit of a more comfortable attractive space.
They're together at a long picnic table which is sitting on a patch of fake grass surrounded by a few bits of outdoor furniture. Essentially, it's a faux picnic!
The cast members are in various states of wardrobe and personal clothing mixed together. It's obvious the lunch was held in between scenes. Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Okoye (Danai Gurira) look like they could hit the set again with just a few touch ups.
For example, some of the body paint has rubbed off of Zoe Saldana's arms and the ladies of Black Panther are probably missing an accessory or two.
Mantis (Pom Klementieff) is just sitting around like an adorable bug in casual streetwear hanging out with Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow.) Evangeline Lilly (Wasp) could literally go for a walk and just look like some super cool person you'd like to meet.
And then there's Nebula (Karen Gillian).
If you're used to seeing her like this...
...then seeing her as pretty much just a head sitting on top of a normal body might freak you out a little bit.

Don't stress, though. We are 3,000% positive that neither Robert, nor any of the Marvel fans, could ever actually "forget" any of the powerful women who just weren't there that day.
*Heads up for some major spoilers below! If you haven't seen Avengers: Endgame yet, proceed at your own risk.
Mark Ruffalo is a bit of a klutz, but we love him anyway.
The actor, best known these days for playing Bruce Banner/Hulk in the Avengers seriesโโthough you should do yourself a favor and check out his other stuff, like his Academy Award-nominated work, tooโโis a walking liability because he keeps spoiling big moments from the Marvel franchise.
Do ya'll remember when he spoiled a key moment from Thor: Ragnarok?

How about that time he spoiled another moment from Avengers: Infinity War?

After those two notable blunders, everyone took precautions, but it appears their efforts were for naught, because despite a relatively unmarred publicity tour, Ruffalo still managed to spoil an important moment from Avengers: Endgame.
The incident took place back in early April, when during an interview with E! News, Ruffalo revealed that the Endgame script had several fake scenes and that the cast filmed scenes that the filmmakers never intended to put in the movie:
"I didn't even get a whole script for this movie. I don't know why. The script I did get had dummy scenes in it."
Ruffalo added that he read a scene in the script in which Steve Rogers/Captain America (played by actor Chris Evans) gets married to Peggy Carter (Haley Atwell). And that's exactly what happened in the film, by the way, right after Rogers does his part to return the Infinity Stones.
Evans, to his credit, caught Ruffalo's blunder, and managed to cover for him:
"Mark's a real liability. They have to throw Mark off the scent. You have zero cred. You have earned no trust in the Marvel universe. You, like, leak like a bodily function."

But now that the movie's out (and because the internet is full of detectives), people KNOW WHAT YOU DID, MARK.

A few days ago, Ruffalo even posted that he'd managed to survive the publicity tour without spoiling the film...none the wiser.
Now that #AvengersEndgame is out in the world, you all can finally live without the fear of me spoiling it ๐โฆ https://t.co/hq9dOtnoz3โ Mark Ruffalo (@Mark Ruffalo) 1556312267.0
We're on to you, Mark. We're on to you.
