Spider-Man himself Tom Holland has the best reaction to the "no spoilers" letter Avengers: Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo released earlier today.

What Will Avengers 4 Be Titled? The Comics Offer Some Clues
Thanks to Marvel Studios’ long term planning, we usually know the titles of every movie coming out for the next several years, but Avengers 4 has proven to be an exception to the rule. Avengers: Infinity War hits on April 27 and we know that Avengers 4 (opening May 3, 2019) will be a direct follow-up to the events of that movie. We’re pretty sure it's when the Infinity War credits roll that we’ll finally have the title revealed a la “Tony Stark will return” at the end of Iron Man 3. But rather than wait that long, we’ve turned to the comics to suss out what the title will be.
Recently, the Russo brothers, who are directing both of these Avengers flicks, responded to a fan on Twitter who said they were scared of what the mystery title might be. Their response? “You should.” As innocuous as that might sound, it’s actually a big clue that points to two different titles from the comics.

Infinity War: James Gunn Wrote Dialogue for Guardians of the Galaxy
James Gunn contributed to Avengers: Infinity War by writing some dialogue for the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Per SuperBroMovies, Dave Bautista, who plays Drax the Destroyer in the Guardians movies, revealed during an Awesome Con Q&A this past weekend that Gunn wrote a few lines for the eccentric Marvel characters.
However, Bautista didn't share any further details about what Gunn specifically wrote in the Marvel ensemble movie. This shouldn't come as a huge surprise considering Gunn is both the writer and director of the two Guardians of the Galaxy films, and has been instrumental in bringing these characters to life onscreen.
2001: A Space Odyssey Is Coming Back to Theaters in 70mm
50 years ago, Director Stanly Kubrick released his groundbreaking sci-fi epic, 2001: A Space Odyssey. To celebrate this momentous anniversary, Warner Bros. Pictures will debut an unrestored 70mm print at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival on May 12.
Don't worry, if you're not able to make it to the south of France for the debut, Warner Bros will be re-releasing the film in theaters on May 18. There will also be a 4K HDR Blu-ray release sometime in the fall of 2018 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, which The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan acted as an advisor on for the film's restoration process.
Nolan is a big fan of the movie and will personally be introducing the film at the Cannes festival.
If You Miss Breaking Bad, Starz’s Counterpart is the Perfect Replacement
Counterpart just aired the final episode of its first season, making it the perfect time to look back on an excellent freshman run that will, if there's any justice, see J.K Simmons leading the race for awards glory come Emmy time. (Light character spoilers but no plot specifics follow.)
Simmons plays both Howard Silk (inhabiting what we are led to believe is the “real” world, much like ours, in Berlin) and Howard Prime (who lives in what the show refers to as the Prime world, a parallel to Howard Silk’s). They are the same person, with the same exact DNA and family, yet they live two very different lives. The plot exists to bring them together and answer the overarching question of the series: what happens when you meet the person you could have been?
