Avengers: Endgame - Every Major Character's Best Moment

23. Black Widow Makes The Ultimate Sacrifice

Surely Endgame's most unexpected death was that of Black Widow, who seemed like she had plenty left in the tank moving forward - to say nothing of her prequel origin story about to ramp up production.

But alas, Widow meets her maker after she and Hawkeye travel to Vormir in the past to retrieve the Soul Stone, and each attempts to sacrifice themselves, all while stopping the other from doing so.

It's an hilariously daft yet ludicrously entertaining sequence, giving the two old friends one final affecting scene together, but ultimately even Hawkeye isn't able to stop Natasha from flinging herself to her demise.

Sure, it arguably feels a little too similar to Gamora's (Zoe Salanda) death in Infinity War - even accepting their shared location - but the shock factor is undeniable.
