Marvel Actor Confirms He's Not in 'Avengers: Endgame'

With Avengers: Endgame premiering this Friday, fan theories are running rampant. However, one actor has confirmed he will not be in the upcoming film.

Stellan Skarsgård, who played Dr. Erik Selvig in Marvel movies like Thor, The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World, and Avengers: Age of Ultron, will not be in the movie. While we won't be seeing the actor in Endgame, he is apparently contracted to do one other movie with Marvel.

“No I’m not,” the actor commented when he was asked if he was in Avengers: Endgame. “I’ve done four [Marvel films] and they have me contracted for five and they haven’t called me yet.”

He then went on to add that, “They usually call me when they need some weird plot to be explained in a quasi-scientific way.” 

“I thought it was a one-time thing, but the contract said if they wanted me they could use me for five films, but I didn’t think they’d use me for four so it was a surprise. It was a pleasant surprise because I’ve had a lot of fun on those shoots,” he said of his time working with Marvel.
