Russo Brothers Respond to Viral NSFW Theory About Ant-Man and Thanos

Avengers: Endgame will reportedly have around a three-hour runtime, which will make it the longest film in MCU history. However, someone would have to dedicate way more than three hours to read all of the theories about the film.

From sacrificing lives to time traveling back in time, there are multiple theories addressing the best way to avenge the lives Thanos snapped away. But one theory in particular has been picking up traction and while it's unconventional, it may be the smartest way to defeat the Mad Titan.

The viral theory that has taken over social media says the Avengers can kill Thanos by Ant-Man using his size-changing prowess and shrinking himself. After that, he will go up his butt and enter the villain's colon, and then increase in size to rip Thanos apart from the inside. Do not adjust your screen, you read that right.

And as silly and NSFW as the theory is, plenty of fans support it. Some have even created petitions calling for Marvel Studios to incorporate the plan into the upcoming film. The petition already has over 37,000 signatures.

Not only are fans not opposed to this method being the way the Infinity Saga closes, even Thanos voice actor Josh Brolin is embracing the idea. The actor posted a video to Instagram on Thursday of him on the toilet, seemingly trying to push Ant-Man out of his bowels.

And now, the hilarious theory is also being embraced by Endgame's directors, the Russo Brothers. The filmmaking duo have updated their Instagram profile picture as an homage to the meme.

The new profile shows a purple Venn diagram, with the left side being labeled "Thanos' left butt cheek" and the right "Thanos' right butt cheek," while an image of Ant-Man is in the middle.

The chances that this theory actually goes down in the final Avengers film is slim to none. But it's hilarious that even the Russo Brothers have heard about the meme and are now happily embracing it.
