Avengers: Endgame came out today at the time of this recording, and I had a chance to see
it just a few hours ago.
And guys, it was not disappointing, oh no.
In my opinion it was the best Marvel film to date -- and I struggle to believe that
they could ever top something as epic, and spine-tingling as Endgame.
Anyway, I digress, as we know with all MCU movies, they are filled to the brim with easter
eggs, and call backs to previous films and moments.
So today on Beyond the Screen we’re bringing you the Top 10 Avengers: Endgame Easter Eggs
You Missed.
And, buckle in, because there are a lot -- and I mean a lot.
Lets jump in.
10 Jarvis Throughout Endgame we see our favourite heroes
use time travel to undo the mess that Thanos created, but collecting all of the Infinity
Stones before he has a chance to get his big purple mitts on them.
This is what leads Tony Stark and Captain America to head back to New Jersey, specifically
Camp Leehigh in the 1970’s.
Aka, the place where Cap went to boot camp and trained to be a soldier.
During this scene Tony Stark comes face-to-face with his own father, Howard Stark, while trying
to acquire the Space Stone.
As the pair say farewell to each, Howard gets into his given that was driven by none other
than Jarvis -- in the flesh.
Unfortunately the character wasn’t played by Paul Bettany but instead James D’Arcy,
but it was nice to finally see the person that influenced Tony Stark’s creation of
the Jarvis software.
9 Black Widow In a small moment at the beginning of the
film we see Black Widow having a conference call with many of our favourite heroes, including
Captain Marvel and Rhodey.
If you look carefully as the assassin is sat at the table, legs up -- you’ll see a pair
of Ballet shoes sitting on the chair next to her.
This is a throwback to Avengers: Age of Ultron when we get to see Natasha Romanoff in the
Red Room, after Scarlet Witch screwed with her mind.
Whilst in the Red Room we got to see what went down in the Red Room, which included
a lot of ballet -- it seems as though Nastasha didn’t give it up -- this also may be a
small hint to what we might see in her prequel movie that will be coming up.
More Red Room.
8 The Russo Brothers The Directors of the Endgame, Anthony and
Joe Russo also left their mark on the movie in more ways than one.
Well, specifically Joe did.
When we skip five years ahead, and see what the effects that snap had on the world and
our heroes, we find Cap in a meeting with other survivors who were suffering from PTSD
after the events of the snap.
One of those members was none other than Joe Russo who was suffering from the loss of a
loved one.
And he was quite the actor indeed.
7 Iron Man 3 In Iron Man 3 we were introduced briefly to
Harley Keener the boy who helps Iron Man repair his suit after the fake Mandarin leaves him
for dead with his home in taters.
Harley also low-key cures Tony’s PTSD.
Anyway, Harley makes a very brief cameo in Endgame, at the funeral of Tony Stark, alongside
many other famous guests including: Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Douglas, Marisa Tomei, Jon
Favreau, Samuel L Jackson, and even the strongest hero in the MCU, Captain Marvel, aka, Brie
Larson.
6 X-Men Names When the film jumps five years into the future,
Ant-Man is finally freed from the Quantum Realm, with the help of a little mouse.
Obviously, he’s a little confused as to what went down, with him even stating later
on in the film that only five hours passed him by in the Quantum Realm.
Anywho, as he’s exploring the streets in an attempt to figure out what went down, and
why everyone is missing -- he finds rows and rows of commemorative statues for the disappeared.
Thousands of names were listed, even Scott Lang’s, but one that we managed to zone
in on was Roberto da Costa, a character from X-Men’s New Mutants who is also known as
Sunspot.
5 The Big Lebowski Now, answer me this.
What do you see when you think of Chris Hemsworth?
Or, better yet, what do you see when you think of Chris Hemsworth in Thor?
Muscles, Stormbreaker, Mjolnir, God of thunder?
All of the above, right?
Well, let me tell you about Chris Hemsworth in Avengers: Endgame.
Let me feed you some words.
Beer.
Beer Belly.
Sweats.
Long Hair.
Greasy Hair.
Sunglasses.
Beard.
Beard for days.
Sound like anyone familiar?
The Big Lebowski perhaps?
Yeah, that’s right.
Chris Hemsworth’s Thor in Endgame was a spot on replica of The Dude, aka Jeff Bridges
in The Big Lebowski.
It’s a huge change from what we’re used to seeing from the God of Thunder.
It’s a look that’s for sure -- one that I’m hoping won’t be making a return if
he ever decides to make another appearance in the MCU.
4 Carol Danvers Ah yes, the strongest hero in the MCU of course
came back to leave her mark on the Mad Titan -- quite literally.
She was present at the beginning of the movie -- in her classic Captain Marvel getup -- brainstorming
with the Avengers about how to get the fallen back.
They head to space, fight the Mad Titan, decapitate the tyrant and leave him to rot -- forced
to head back to earth with the knowledge that he had destroyed the stones, and the fallen
cannot return.
So, Carol Danvers leaves.
However, she makes her grand return on the conference call we mentioned earlier, as well
as at the final battle between the heroes and the villains -- getting some blows in
before Thanos grabs the power stone and punches her into the sky.
Anyway -- it’s not about her involvement in the film that we’re talking about, oh
no.
It’s her alternative lifestyle haircut.
Yup -- when Carol comes back she has chopped off her luscious locks, and opted for a shorter
do that is straight out of the comics.
Specifically The Life of Captain Marvel, a series that debuted back in 2018 and created
by Margaret Stohl -- who, side note, also made an appearance in the Captain Marvel as
a subway passenger.
3 America’s Ass We all love a good ass, let’s be honest.
But when you think of the Avengers, whose ass do you think of.
If your answer wasn’t immediately Captain America, then get out of here.
Please.
After the release of The Avengers in 2012, people really zoned in on one thing.
Steve Rogers’ ass, specifically in the gym scene when he’s hitting the punching bag
-- and I mean, yeah, it’s a good ass.
But after that film things blew up -- there were twitter accounts and tumblr pages dedicated
to the ass of America’s greatest hero.
So, the people over at Marvel thought, what better time to finally address the ass sitch
than in the film to end it all.
In one particular scene when Cap, Iron Man, Hulk, and Ant-Man travel back to 2012 to the
battle of New York -- they sneak into the Avengers Tower and see past-Captain America.
Tony criticises his ass, but Ant-Man compliments it, calling it America’s Ass.
Steve even confirms this later after he finishes battling his past-self, stating, “that is
America’s Ass.”
2 New Asgard In Thor Ragnarok during Thor’s battle with
Hela, he has a vision of Odin, his father -- who is standing on cliffs looking out towards
the water.
Thor tells him that Asgard is destroyed, gone, they have no home left.
Odin then tells the God of Thunder that Asgard is all around them, it’s everywhere.
You can rebuild, even there, on the cliffs.
That location comes back in Avengers Endgame, when our heroes track down Thor to recruit
in the mission to track down the stones and take down Thanos.
He and his remaining Asgardians have made a home, and have rebuilt, just as Odin said
they would.
Valkyrie, much to everyone’s enjoyment, also showed up, in the New Asgard, as well
as at the final battle.
I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of the hero in future MCU movies.
1 Hail Hydra The biggest easter egg of all had to be Hail
Hydra -- that’s right.
Back in 2017, a comic was released called Captain America: Steve Rogers, and fans lost
all of their sh*t.
At the end of the comic Captain America pushed a hero out of an airborne vehicle and uttered
the world “Hail Hydra”.
Any Marvel fan will know what that means, that Cap was working with the evil fascist
network known as Hydra, and stating those words was essentially their version of the
Nazi salute.
This happened because Hydra ended up rewriting history using the tesseract, so that Captain
America was always a sleeper Hydra agent.
In Endgame, these words were also muttered -- but guys, don’t fret, there wasn’t
a big reveal, with Steve Rogers siding with the evil organization to takedown the Avengers.
Nope -- it occurred when the heroes were back in 2012, and Hydra were in the elevator, taking
the tesseract back to their base.
Future Cap enters, and when they question him her utters the words “Hail Hydra”.
Chills.
Well there we have it!
