The Avengers: Infinity War directors clarify why Spider-Man got that extra bit of screen-time in the final act of their superhero team-up film.

SPOILER WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War, in theaters now.

Avengers: Infinity War delivered some of the most powerful emotional moments thus far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, most of them centered around the deaths of beloved characters which, of course, included our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

At the end of the movie, the Mad Titan Thanos snapped his fingers while in possession of all six infinity stones. While we saw half of the main cast of the MCU collapse into piles of dust, Spider-Man's death scene was long and drawn out compared to those of his fellow Avengers -- and there was a very specific reason for that.

In an interview with HuffPost, directors Joe and Anthony Russo confirmed why Holland was able to draw out Spider-Man's death scene: Peter Parker's Spidey Sense.

After being asked if the Spidey Sense was responsible for Peter's early warning, Joe Russo confirmed, "That's correct. He was aware of something."

Fans were extremely happy to see the Spidey Sense make an appearance in the MCU since it didn't come up in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Unfortunately, they didn't know that it would be responsible for, "I don't feel so good. I don't know what's happening. I don't want to go. I don't want to go, Mr. Stark, please."

Avengers: Infinity War, starring Robert Downy Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlet Johansson, Tom Holland, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Brolin, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and many more, is in theaters now.
