10 Greatest MCU Final Scenes
3. A Changing Of The Guard - Avengers: Endgame
Avengers: Endgame immediately became a cultural phenomenon upon its release in April 2019, even dethroning Avatar as the biggest box office success story of all time (a feat it lost again to Avatar in 2021).
The movie picks up after the dramatic events of Avengers: Infinity War, which saw Thanos erase half the population of the universe with just a click of his Infinity Gauntlet. A movie packed with time-travel, trauma, and the departure of beloved Marvel Cinematic Universe characters, it was inevitable that the final scene of Avengers: Endgame would pack one hell of an emotional punch.
After his death following reversing the actions of Thanos’ blip with his own Iron Gauntlet, Tony Stark’s funeral is a real who’s who of the MCU, with some characters who hadn’t even featured in the all-star movie prior. After the ceremony, Steve Rogers embarks on a quest to return all of the Infinity Stones to their rightful place, and when he returns as a much older man Steve passes on the baton of Captain America to Sam Wilson, aka Falcon. Hawkeye and Wanda grieve over the loss of Black Widow and Vision, and the future of the MCU lays wide open.
