Avengers: Endgame finally landed in cinemas this week after what felt like a year-long eternity.
The latest instalment of the Marvel franchise is the culmination of more than a decade of filmmaking and closes the book on the first 22 films, ending the cliffhanger of Infinity War in which half of humanity was turned to ash at the hands of supervillain Thanos.
Safe to say, everyone is talking about one of the biggest movies of the year.
It comes as no surprise then to see Google jumping on the Marvel bandwagon with a special Easter egg of their own, seeing as the global search giant is a well known fan of such clever marketing ploys.
All you need to do is Google “do a barrel roll” to find out more.
Google’s latest egg celebrates the release of Endgame by cleverly unleashing Thanos’ horribly destructive power on the web.
How? Well, all you need to do is Google “Thanos” and you can sit back and watch as half of your search results disappear in a click of the fingers into dust.
Searching for the term “Thanos” will trigger an image of the supervillain’s gloved hand to appear on the upper right hand side of the screen.
Click the hand, and watch in horror as the results randomly disappear one by one, with the numbers falling from 95,000,000 to 47,500,000, in much the same way Thanos randomly turned half of humanity into ash at the end of Infinity War.
But don’t worry too much, because clicking on the image again will return your results back to normal.
Avengers: Endgame is available to see in UK cinemas now.
