One Year Anniversary: Some Endgame Facts

We are now going into April and with that, one year ago the biggest blockbuster of all time released. Avengers: Endgame was a film which was built up to for years with the remainder of the the MCU being the stepping stones to reach that point. As such, with the one year anniversary coming up, I thought that some facts about the film might be interesting and maybe you don’t know these facts.

  1. Robert Downey Jr. was really the beginning and the end of the saga and as such, he was the only cast member to receive a full copy of the script for Endgame.
  2. Endgame was a massive project that was shot on the heels of Infinity War, but did you know Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly shot Ant-Man and the Wasp at the same time. Also Brie Larson shot her scenes before she started Captain Marvel.
  3. Avengers: Endgame actually broke ticket reservation websites like Fandango due to the sheer number of pre-sale tickets being bought. After six hours, it managed to become the biggest pre-sale title ever with some theaters adding extra shows in order to accommodate viewers.
  4. One of the cuter lines in the films is when Tony Stark’s daughter says “I love you 3000.” This made it into the movie when Robert Downey Jr. told the Russo brothers what one of his own children had said to him.
  5. This one is a twofer with both Endgame and Infinity War; they were both shot on IMAX cameras, making them the first films to ever be shot entirely on IMAX cameras.
  6. Captain America has always been able to wield Thor’s hammer according to director Anthony Russo. The reason that he didn’t pick it up in Age of Ultron was because he didn’t want to hurt Thor’s ego.
  7. Some people may have noticed at the end of the film, there was a teenage boy at Tony’s funeral. That teen was Harley Keener, the one who let Tony use his shed when he needed to repair the Iron Man suit in the third Iron Man film.
  8. For those who may remember, Age of Ultron showed a vision of the future in which the Avengers have fallen and Cap’s shield was shattered. That prophecy ended up being fulfilled in Endgame with Hulk too injured to fight, Thor nearly being killed by Thanos, Natasha lying dead the same way as the vision, and Thanos breaking Cap’s shield.
  9. Anthony Mackie found out about the ending of his character, Falcon, in Endgame at Chris Evans’ house when Chris told him the fate of his character and showed him that part of the script.
  10. Some other easter eggs in the film include Scott Lang’s storage unit number being 616, the number used for the main universe in the comic series. Hawkeye testing the particles for time travel is a nod to his being the character Goliath in the comics who grew with Pym Particles. Then we have the song “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath being fulfilled “when he traveled time, for the future of mankind.”
