Avengers: Endgame - 15 Essential NEW Rumours & Theories

6. Rocket Raccoon Saves Tony Stark

The Rumour

With the question of how Tony Stark escapes his apparent space-tomb on the Benatar (as shown in the trailer) weighing heavily on fans, AUDI seem to have offered a solution.

The car makers released a press release (via Quattro Daily) about their Marvel partnership, which includes a new VR experience for the back of the new model e-Tron, which will be unveiled at Consumer Electronics Show 2019. That VR experience is called Marvel’s Avengers: Rocket’s Rescue Run and allows users to fly with Rocket through an asteroid field.

That rescue can only mean one thing: that he's the one who saves Tony Stark.

Response

Yes, it's a strange source of a leak, but commercial partnerships are an increasingly important part of film marketing now, so it's not entirely alien. And if AUDI want to use Endgame to piggy-back for marketing positivity, they'll use something specifically tying the car to the movie, which makes the randomness of "Rescue Run" entirely unlikely.

The fact that Rocket wasn't in the trailer, which is said to feature footage only from the film's first 20 minutes, would also fit here, since Rocket would be on his way to space. And that would have been too much of a spoiler.
