Trivia: Nebula says to Rhodes "I wasn't always like this" and he replies "Me either." Could be referring to his legs, equally a nod to the fact that he's one of the few main characters who's been played by a different actor in the films.

Trivia: The film took inspiration from the Star Trek saga - the last episode of Star Trek Voyager was named Endgame as well and involved time travel.

Suggested correction: It should also be pointed out that "Endgame" as a term has been around a long time. It's a chess term and refers to the final stage of a process or event. "Voyager" might have taken inspiration from Marvel themselves since Marvel Comics have had at least 16 stories titled "Endgame", starting in the 60's. Stories involving The Mighty Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Thanos.

Suggested correction: Not to be confrontational, but has this actually been confirmed? As in, did any of the filmmakers say that they were inspired by "Star Trek: Voyager"? The fact that the word "Endgame" appears in both titles doesn't mean that one was inspired by the other.

wizard_of_gore

It was confirmed by the producers.

Kevin Feige confirmed that Star Trek: The Next Generation inspired elements of the film. At no time did he mention Star Trek: Voyager.

The episode is also about time travel. Caption Janeway goes back in time to get her ship home faster and save member of her crew.

The fact that 2 things involving time travel also involve the term "endgame" does not mean that one inspired the other.

Trivia: Prior to the film's release, there was a tongue-in-cheek fan theory that speculated the Avengers would defeat Thanos by having Ant-Man shrink down, crawl into Thanos' anus, and then expand. This theory became so widespread that the Russo brothers and even Neil deGrasse Tyson commented on it and why it wouldn't work. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly also briefly discussed the theory in character as Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne, respectively.

Trivia: Thanos breaks Cap's shield just like in the Infinity Gauntlet comic.

Trivia: "New Asgard" is based in Tonsberg, Norway, but the filming location is in Scotland. As nods to that, the beer Thor's drinking is a Scottish brand and there's a bottle of Irn Bru on the windowsill.

Jon Sandys

Trivia: Captain America, Thor and Iron Man each have a scene featuring a cameo by directors of their most critically acclaimed solo movies - Cap talking at the support group to Joe Russo (director of Winter Soldier and Civil War), Thor hanging out with Korg (Taika Waititi, director of Ragnarok), and Iron Man with Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man 1 and 2).

Trivia: At 181 minutes, "Avengers: Endgame" is the longest theatrical-released superhero movie of all time. (Not counting extended home-video releases).

TedStixon

Trivia: The movie was so anticipated, that the day tickets went on sale, a number of websites selling tickets for the film crashed or experienced delays. It became the top-selling title for first-day online ticket sales, beating the previous record in only six hours.

Trivia: While Nat talks with Steve in the Avengers base on the chair there is a pair of ballet shoes - that's a reference to her background where she was a ballet dancer.

Trivia: In the opening sequence on Marvel's logo all the avengers that disappeared with the snap in Infinity War are not included.

Trivia: Just after Tony gets the tesseract in 1970 in the far background on the aisle the is a monitor with the green face of Arnim Zola, similar to the one seen in The Winter Soldier.

Trivia: Ava Russo, the daughter of director Joe Russo, plays Lila Barton.

oswal13

Trivia: Before settling on saying "And I am Iron Man," the writers toyed with having Tony Stark simply telling Thanos to fuck off, even filming multiple variations of it. Aside from the former line being more poetic, they felt ending the moment on a curse word wasn't the best option, and Disney may have vetoed it anyway.

Phaneron

Trivia: The kids who asked Hulk for a pic are related to the directors Anthony and Joe Russo.

oswal13

Trivia: Is the tenth entry in "Phase Three" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the overall 22nd film in the franchise.

TedStixon

Trivia: The ending credits with the pictures and signatures of the Avengers is a reference to Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country, which ended in the same way.

Continuity mistake: In the final battle, Wasp and Ant-Man are in the van trying to get the quantum tunnel operational. We cut back to the fight and we can see Ant-Man there too, fighting in his giant form. (02:22:20 - 02:23:00)

Suggested correction: He needed to hot-wire the van. It's quite possible he could have left the van for parts (he's seen slamming a Leviathan to the ground) or to protect it. It also could have been an illusion by one of Dr. Strange's people.

DetectiveGadget85

Sorry but the suggested correction makes no sense. For one Dr Strange's people have no idea what Ant-Man looks like, and secondly Ant-Man would have no idea where to get parts from in the middle of a battlefield, let alone know if alien technology would be compatible. Also the time frame given when the scene plays out allows no time for him to leave the van, this is a legitimate mistake.

Dr. Strange's people don't know what Ant-Man looks like? He entered the battle with them long before they went to the van. Earth has had access to the same Leviathan parts since the original Avengers. If Toomes can make wings out of it in Spider-man Homecoming, it's possible he can figure something out. Clint had passed the glove to Black Panther before Ant-Man is seen in the background. There was plenty of time. He also could have been defending the van while they brought the glove.

There is plenty of time for Ant-Man to have left the van and returned to it. As the scenes play out, Ant-Man and Wasp are in the front of the van trying to hot wire it. The film then cuts to the battle for several minutes, as we see the passing off the gauntlet, which includes the brief shot of Giant-Man in the background. A few minutes later the film cuts back to the van and we see Scott opening the rear door of the van. So there's plenty of time for him to have gotten out of the van, saw potential trouble with the Leviathan, turned into Giant-Man to stop it while letting Hope finish activating the tunnel, and then returning to check the final settings. Now, all this raises another question that has to do with the apparent ease Giant-Man has in traversing the battlefield, as in why not just give Scott the gauntlet, have him turn into Giant-Man, take a few steps over to the van, and then shrink back down to take the stones back in time?

Question: What happened to Loki? Does this mean he's now alive?

MikeH

Answer: The Loki from the original timeline is dead, but the 2013 Loki that is imprisoned on Asgard is presumably alive and well, and the 2012 Loki that escaped with the Tesseract is alive and supposedly, this version of the character will be the focus of his own upcoming Disney+ series.

Phaneron

Answer: The Loki who escaped is in a different timeline, so he will not encounter the "main" versions of the characters. This version of Loki will appear in the new series.
