In May, Phase 4 will officially kick off with Black Widow, and 2020 also marks the release of the long-awaited Eternals movie. Still, it’s safe to say that Avengers: Endgame will be on our minds for some time to come and following the launch of Disney Plus, the MCU’s biggest film to date has seen a resurgence in popularity.
But just when you thought you knew all there was to know about the pic, a new look at its script has shed some light on one of the franchise’s saddest moments. As shared by ComicBook.com‘s Brandon Davis, Endgame‘s script reveals that during the moments before his death, Tony Stark’s final thoughts were: “I’m sorry.”
This particular moment, which can be seen down below, was not featured in the final cut of the film, though it does fall in line with Stark’s character. After all, as Iron Man, he’s always been burdened with the idea that he’s responsible for keeping the world safe while trying to keep a commitment to his family, and Endgame sees him sacrificing everything he’s loved to ensure a future for humanity.
Of course, there were plenty of changes made to the film’s script during development, so it’s not entirely surprising to hear this particular moment was cut. After all, the screenwriters originally considered letting Tony Stark live, and they also removed a scene that shows him in the afterlife with a teenage version of his daughter.
But now that you know Tony’s final thoughts before he met his maker, why not give Avengers: Endgame another watch with it in mind? After all, there are plenty of ways to check out the film now. Not only is it streaming on Disney Plus, but it’s also available on Blu-ray, DVD, 4K UHD, and on a handful of digital storefronts, too.

With the influx of characters from Fox, the pool of potential villains for Marvel to choose from is even bigger than before. A couple of obvious ones are Doctor Doom and Galactus, but another character the studio can now play with is Fantastic Four foe Kang the Conqueror. Some have suggested he’d be a nifty new arch-nemesis for the Avengers, and this theory suggests he was already teased in Avengers: Endgame.
One Reddit user has built their theory around one of Tony Stark’s lines in Endgame: “You mess with time, it tends to mess back.” The theorist argues that this warning was playing off Newton’s Third Law of Motion – that for every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction. All this is to say that the heroes’ bending of the time stream will cause some new threat to emerge. A new threat like the time traveling tyrant that is Kang.
It’s suggested that Kang could turn up in a major way for Phase 5. As an additional point, the theorist offers that this would allow Marvel more time to build up to Galactus in Phase 6. The Redditor even recommends that the best place for Kang to debut in a brief cameo would be in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot.
The central idea here that Kang could be attracted to present-day Earth due to all the temporal anomalies caused by the Avengers in Endgame is a strong one. Sure, Captain America dropped the Infinity Stones back to their rightful places at the end of the film, but there could well be further repercussions to come after how much they messed with the fabric of reality during the Time Heist.
Tell us, though, do you agree that Avengers: Endgame sowed the seeds for Kang the Conqueror to enter the stage as the MCU’s new big bad? Share your opinions in the comments section down below.
