Yahoo Movies The Russos reveal the hardest 'Avengers: Endgame' cameo to film
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is bursting with cameos but the hardest one to film in Avengers: Endgame did not feature any big names.
In fact, it concerned three children who happened to be related to the directors Joe and Anthony Russo.
"The hardest [cameo to film] was a scene in the movie where it's the scene in the diner where we introduced Smart Hulk the first time," Anthony Russo explained to Cleveland.com.
"So, he's sitting there with Ant-Man, Black Widow and Captain America, and there's these three kids that walk in who are fans of Hulk. They want a picture with him.
"And those three kids are, one is my son Julian. One is my brother's daughter, Lia. One is my sister's son, Augie."

According to the filmmaker, the production had to work between their school schedule.
Hayley Atwell recently spoke about her cameos in the film especially the one where Peggy and Steve finally get that dance.
“I thought it was a fitting end to a story that has affected so many people,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “I thought it was very endearing, innocent and wholesome in the way that it keeps those characters in their time.
“I thought it was quite beautiful and very tasteful of Marvel to finish this 10-year story in a very simple storyline about two human beings - and one of them doesn’t even have any superpowers.
“So, I thought the tone of it, to end there, after some extraordinary things of trauma, action, effects and powers… to just have two people slow-dancing was very beautiful,” she said.
