Elizabeth Olsen, who will be seen playing a new character Scarlet Witch in Avengers: Age of Ultron, reveled a very interesting fact about the movie that the scripts of the movie were destroyed every day to prevent leaks from film set.

The Godzilla actress asserted that it was quite funny that they had to burn their sides for the day and they weren't allowed to go home with their little pages of whatever they shot that day, the BBC reported.

The 26-year-old actress continued that they took it from their trailers and shredded it and it was "pretty crazy".

Chris Evans, who plays Captain America in the movie, said that everything with Marvel was very lock and key and hush hush, so one has to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Paul Bettany, who plays The Vision in ' Avengers', said the script was never emailed to him and it was posted with a security guard.
