Marvel's Avengers Game: 12 Secrets, Easter Eggs & References Explained

1. THAT Final Boss Battle

Although the game doesn't really telegraph that the final fight IS a big deal, make no mistake - it's one hell of a doozy.

As the Avengers come together to take on Tarleton (who's now fully MODOK-ified), a giant android emerges out of the ground and he flies into it. You could be forgiven for thinking that this was a cheeky nod to the X-Men, as the giant bot does look VERY Sentinel-y in nature. However, it's actually a Kree Sentry - something confirmed by the final story achievement, which rewards players for defeating MODOK "and the Kree".

What does this mean? Well it would be safe to assume that Crystal Dynamics have some Captain Marvel content in mind to arrive shortly. Danvers already has a model present, and given the fact she also gets a shout out at the beginning, it makes sense why she could be joining a lot sooner than we may have initially thought.

As for the Sentries themselves, they've been around since the first run of Captain Marvel comics in the late 1960s. They're giant automatons used by the Kree Empire to guard their territory, although why they're on Earth in Marvel's Avengers is currently anyone's guess.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
