FAQ

The film is loosely based on "The Infinity Gauntlet" storyline in the comic. But for the most part, is an original story made for the film. The story in the comic had Thanos wipe out life to please the personification of Death, but failed to do so. Thanos in the movie seeks to wipe out life because he thinks by doing so he can save the universe from overcrowding. Endgame is the final confrontation with him when he seeks revenge for the Avengers trying to undo his work. Edit (Coming Soon)

Not really. In order to understand this movie you just need to see a few Marvel films, specifically: Iron Man; The Avengers; Thor: The Dark World; Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 & Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2; Captain America: The Winter Soldier; Avengers: Age of Ultron; Captain America: Civil War; Doctor Strange; Thor: Ragnarok; Ant-Man and the Wasp; and of course, Avengers: Infinity War.

However, you will get more out of it if you watch all of them (In release order: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers; Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man; Doctor Strange, Captain America: Civil War, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Captain Marvel) Edit (Coming Soon)

Because the very idea of Captain America is that he is the best of mankind. Not that he has powers, but that he is willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Hence his story arc coming to a close: a man always willing to serve, finally getting the one thing he wants most.

In an interview with Director Joss Whedon, he suggested that Captain America was always able to pick up the hammer but didn't want to shame Thor. This is why when Cap first uses the hammer in Avengers Endgame (2019) Thor states 'I knew it.' Edit (Coming Soon)

It appears that Spider-Man: Far From Home will happen after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Additionally, Kevin Feige made these comments during the Spider-Man Homecoming press tour in 2017, "So much happens in the 3rd and 4th Avengers movies, as you can imagine, and so much is affected by it that we felt what better person to hold your hand and lead you into the next incarnation of the MCU, in a grounded, realistic manner, than Peter Parker? So, coming out two months after Untitled Avengers, that's what much of what the next Spider-Man film will be about." Edit (Coming Soon)

Doctor Strange is in this movie. He was killed or 'dusted' by Thanos' snap in Infinity War. So he only comes back in the end battle. Edit (Coming Soon)

The cast list on IMDb is presently sorted by the IMDb STARMeter, which tracks the overall popularity of a star at any given time. This is not the official billing of the film. On the official poster, Robert Downey Jr. receives top billing. Also, Evangeline Lilly has approximately 2 minutes of total screen time in this movie, while Brie Larson's character Captain Marvel plays a key role. Edit (Coming Soon)

Gamora was killed by Thanos in the previous film Infinity War. But her past self is seen through out the movie. Edit (Coming Soon)

Yes and no. Avengers: Endgame is the culmination of the 21 previous films, called The Infinity Saga. There has been no official talk about a fifth Avengers movie, and many of the actors, playing the original team of Avengers, have not extended their contracts, making this the last Marvel Studio movie, they will be a part of.

However it's implied that following phases past this one will focus on new heroes arising to take up the void left by those leaving (Spider-Man, Bucky, Sam Wilson, Captain Marvel, etc) . One speculation is that the next major story arc will be Secret Invasion with the Earth getting embroiled in the Kree and Skrull conflict. Edit (Coming Soon)

He is Harley Keener, the young boy in Iron Man 3 who helps Tony Stark recharge his suit, played by Ty Simpkins. Edit (Coming Soon)

Wong brings the Masters of the Mystic arts, armies of Wakanda, citizens of New Asgard , along with some ravagers from GOTG. Edit (Coming Soon)

I think they listed her name on the poster because she was alive. At first, they didn't have her name, then they added it because she was the only actor/actress on the picture without a name. Yes, weird. She was barely in the film. Edit (Coming Soon)

Joe Russo has confirmed in interviews that elderly Steve found a way to make another time jump from his alternate reality with Peggy towards his original with Sam, which is left to be a mystery for now. Edit (Coming Soon)

When old, bad, Nebula defeated new, good Nebula, she acquired the Pym Particles and GPS device. Edit (Coming Soon)

The machine functioned as the anchor point they would return to when they finished their mission. Tony and Captain A. just changed the coordinated to go further in time when they re-entered the quantum space. Edit (Coming Soon)

Moments before Thor enters the Guardian's ship, we can see Quill looking at a screen with the picture of Gamora and the word 'searching' in top of it. This implies that she fled the scene and the search for her will probably be one of the main plots of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2021). Edit (Coming Soon)

The same way everyone else knew (the Wakandans, the Asgardians, the Masters of the Mystic Arts, etc.). Doctor Strange, who knew how things needed to play out, rallied everyone. Edit (Coming Soon)

It isn't shown in the film. Captain America appears to return all the stones with no trouble. Edit (Coming Soon)

Bruce explains he had radiation treatment in order to merge the personas. ("Eighteen months in a gamma lab. I put the brains and the brawn together.") Edit (Coming Soon)

The ending of Avengers Infinity War showed people in the local Wakanda area being dusted at different times which implies that the dusting effect isn't constant for everyone. Also in Endgame it's revealed that the power surge from using the gauntlet can be detected as a burst of energy that radiates from a single source (Earth, and then the planet where Thanos destroys the stones). This indicates that the effect of the snap travels outward like an energy wave. It's possible that the time it takes the energy wave to travel from Wakanda, combined with the variable time it takes for someone to be dusted would allow for Hawkeye's location on the Earth to rotate into sunlight prior to his family being dusted. Edit (Coming Soon)

No scene, but there is a post-credits sound. Its the sound Tony Stark's hammer makes when he is building his very first Iron Man suit. Edit (Coming Soon)

There are no predetermined rules for the snap. With all 6 stones you can do anything you want. Thanos CHOSE to wipe out half the universe. Hulk CHOSE to bring them back. Tony CHOSE to wipe Thanos and his army out of existence. Edit (Coming Soon)

Creating a portal while moving at an extreme speed in space is most likely impossible for Strange. Getting the ship to stop wasn't discussed after Stark refused to take control of it. Edit (Coming Soon)

Vision Edit (Coming Soon)

Hulk explains it saying that changing the past doesn't change the future (or present). Thanos and his army dying in 2023 won't affect the main timeline but it will create another timeline in 2014 where Thanos and his army were wiped out of existence. So yes, for the new 2014 timeline there's no infinity war events. Edit (Coming Soon)

That's a good question. Some have claimed that when the team members were discussing her death (on the dock in the Avenger compound), soon after they all returned from their "Time Heist" missions, that this was her "wake" or "funeral". This may be more "wishful thinking" than an accurate description. Clearly, Tony Stark's funeral was more important to the writers, as he was the main character that the MCU was built upon.
