Avengers: Endgame - 10 Secrets We Just Learned From The Writers At Comic-Con

2. Jane Foster Almost Had A Bigger Role

Scientist Jane Foster makes the briefest of brief appearances in Endgame, visible onscreen when Rocket and Thor (well, mainly Rocket) are trying to retrieve the Reality Stone that's trapped inside her body. But she almost had a much bigger part.

Early on, it was going to be Jane who helped raise Thor out of the well of sadness he'd lost himself in, and not his mother, Frigga. However, it was decided that Jane simply wasn't the right candidate for the job, and Frigga was drafted in instead.

A conversation scene between Rocket and Jane was also scripted, which would've involved Rocket explaining that he intended to extract the Reality Stone from her. Jane, intelligent as she is, would've understood completely.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room to cram this extra scene in, and it was shelved.

He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
