Only six of the original Avengers remain: Thor ( Chris Hemsworth), Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow ( Scarlett Johansson), Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Steve Rogers/Captain America ( Chris Evans) and Bruce Banner/Hulk ( Mark Ruffalo). Also in play are James Rhodes/War Machine ( Don Cheadle), Rocket the space raccoon (hilariously growled by Bradley Cooper), Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and Nebula (the sublime Karen Gillan), the supervillain’s reformed blue-meanie daughter.

Their mission impossible, and there’s no question that they’ll choose to accept it, is to avenge the dead by destroying Thanos, bring back the six Infinity Stones that hold the key to ultimate control and just maybe find a way to restore a semblance of order.įor a movie bursting with action and culminating in a one-for-the-time capsule showdown, Endgame starts on a quietly reflective note. No Avenger is left unbroken by the devastation that ensued when Thanos snapped his fingers and half the world turned to dust. (Some mild plot spoilers ahead.) The movie jumps ahead five years after that moment, with our superheroes are empty shells forced to reflect on their failures. Iron Man has retreated into the cocoon of family life with wife Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Hulk has learned to subdue his baser instincts. That’s when Ant-Man (Paul Rudd, amiable as ever) shows up, fresh from the Quantum Realm, with an idea for a “time heist.” You don’t have to make jokes about the clichéd time travel plot - the film is ready, willing and able to make its own, with Back to the Future coming in for a serious ribbing.Īnd Black Widow wonders if any sense can be made of it all. The Russos make sure there are lots of intentional giggles, especially when Cap is told that his uniform “does nothing for your ass” or Thor lards up with bellyfat or Hulk just stands there like a big green machine. Cheers to Ruffalo and Hemsworth for getting the most laughs without sacrificing character. Downey lowers Stark’s snark quotient to create something genuinely moving. His young daughter measures her devotion to him in multiples.
Fans will surely feel the same.Although Avengers: Endgame was a highlight of the MCU, and a perfect culmination of everything leading up to it, that was not the end of what made the Marvel Cinematic Universe an immersive and exciting franchise. Avengers: Endgame may have been a goodbye to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, but there is still so much life to come out of the MCU since Thanos' defeat. Had the MCU concluded with Avengers: Endgame, then viewers never would have been gifted an understanding of what it meant to come back from the Blip, which gets a significant reference in Spider-Man: Far From Home, WandaVision, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
