Avengers: Endgame is quickly approaching -- and on April 26th, we will finally get to see
if our favourite heroes come out on top in the fight against the Mad Titan.
But the question is, who will survive and who will perish?
Today on Beyond the Screen, we’re going to be counting down the Top 10 Avengers That
Might Be Sacrificed In Endgame.
Lets jump in.
10 Nebula Nebula has had a tough life leading up to
Endgame, I mean she was tortured by her own father -- Thanos -- the guy the strongest
superheroes in the galaxy are trying to take down.
Now, she’s an incredibly underrated character, and has gone from villain to friend in a very
short time -- and it’s likely that in Endgame it will remain that way.
With Nebula aiding the Avengers in their fight against Thanos, maybe even informing them
of his weak spots, since Gamora is no longer around to do so.
Now -- in the comics she place a huge part in the battle for the gauntlet, even wielding
it herself at one point -- but as we know, the MCU isn’t entirely abiding by the comics,
and may deviate from this plot point.
However, is we does see her use the gauntlet, she will die -- there is no way she has the
physical strength to wield it and use the stones.
However, like I said, I doubt we will see this -- instead she will probably go out in
a blaze of glory, sacrificing herself for the greater good.
9 Pepper Potts No surprise here.
Pepper has been in the MCU since 2008, and appeared in the very first Iron Man movie.
Now, Pepper is a hugely important character leading into Endgame for many reasons.
She’s Tony’s rock, no matter what mess he gets himself into, she always gets him
out of it.
And many think we will be seeing this once again in Endgame -- and that we will see Pepper
put on one of Tony Stark’s Iron Man suits and head to space to save him.
But surely this will not end well.
Not only is Pepper inexperience with the Iron Man suits, but she also leads with her heart
and not her head.
Her death will be tragic, and will surely get Stark all riled up leading into the final
battle.
Sadly, it seems like it's a sacrifice that has to be made in order for the heroes to
come out on top.
8 Wong Yes, it’s sad, but very probable.
Wong was there at the beginning of Dr. Strange’s training, making him the sorcerer he is today.
During Infinity War we got to see the return of Wong, but it’s unlikely that we will
see his character return after the events of Endgame.
Now, it is likely that he will join the Avengers and help out during their fight against the
Mad Titan, but he won’t survive.
Wong, if anything, will likely be one of the first casualties we see.
Yes, he’s a capable sorcerer, but he’s no match for Thanos.
Plus, that will be a huge loss for Strange who will play a huge role during the final
battle.
Now, this one will be sad, considering Wong was a fan favourite, but a highly underrated
character with impeccable comedic timing.
His sacrifice will surely leave us all reaching for our tissues.
7 Clint Barton As we have seen from the Avengers: Endgame
trailers, Hawkeye is dead.
Clint Barton is now Ronin.
Which is leading many fans to assume that something horrific must have happened to him,
aka, he watched his family get dusted.
Now, Clint is a fan favourite, and a major part of the MCU -- I mean, he’s one of the
original six.
However, now that he’s Ronin, it’s looking like the calm and collected Clint that we’re
accustomed to seeing is gone, and what we’ll see is a killing machine driven by grief.
With this new persona, we will likely be seeing Clint go against the Avengers and their plans
to take down Thanos, which will surely leave him dead.
This sacrifice is probable, because it will see the door being opened for Kate Bishop
-- so that she can finally take on the role of Hawkeye like she does in the comics.
6 Scott Lang Well...kind of, but let me explain.
As we know, Scott was absent in Infinity War, which left people wondering how on earth he
was going to be a part of Avengers: Endgame.
Quite honestly, Lang isn’t that powerful, nor is he a great fighter.
But, he is Ant-Man, and that hold a lot of weight.
But, Scott Lang may not fare too well, with many people thinking that the Scott Lang we
saw in the credits of Ant-Man and The Wasp is actually a Skrull.
Yup, that’s right.
If the Skrulls have infiltrated Earth following the events of Captain Marvel, Scott would
probably be the ideal person for a takeover -- I mean, no one even knows he’s gone,
and trapped inside the Phantom Zone.
Now, this reveal would finally confirm to us the theory we’ve all been tossing around,
that the Skrulls have slowly been invading earth and setting up phase 4 of the MCU.
5 Hulk We’re saying Hulk here, maybe not Bruce
Banner -- but Hulk.
Banner was Hulk for about 60 seconds in Avengers: Infinity War.
After the events of Ragnarok, Banner just can’t seem to get it up anymore -- no judgment,
just a minor inconvenience.
Now, there have been a handful of posters released leading up to Endgame that show Hulk
in various costumes, and smiling like he’s Hulk combined with Banner.
Now -- the question is, are we even going to see Hulk in Endgame?
It’s doubtful considering Marvel did already trick us, when they released previews for
Infinity War that showed Hulk running with the other Avengers.
Now -- he will likely remain as Banner in Endgame, hanging out in the lab in order to
get the upper hand on Thanos.
However, many believe that it’s time to say goodbye to Mark Ruffalo’s portrayal
of the character -- especially now Captain Marvel is on the scene.
Captain Marvel is the stronger hero there is, a claim that was formerly made about the
Hulk.
It seems there is no longer a space for him in the MCU.
Now, like I said, it likely won’t be Bruce Banner that we will be seeing sacrificed,
but likely just the Hulk.
4 Black Widow This one hurts me the most.
I’m truly hoping it doesn’t happen, but I honestly see no other way this can go down
without our favourite assassin biting the dust.
Natasha Romanoff has played a hugely important role in the MCU, in the films like: Age of
Ultron, Winter Soldier, and Civil War.
She’s the reason Captain and America and Bucky escaped following the events of Civil
War.
Now -- she has no powers, but that has never slowed her down.
She has always kept up with her superhero buddies, and is highly skilled with a firearm.
Now -- people started speculating that the Black Widow would sadly be sacrificed after
reports confirmed that the Black Widow solo film would be a prequel, taking place 15 years
prior to the events of endgame.
Now -- it means that we will get to see a ton of Black Widow heading into Phase 4, but
it does leave us with a knot in our stomachs knowing that her fate isn’t a good one.
We know, Captain Marvel will be leading the Avengers after Endgame, and as great as Natasha
is, she no longer seems like a good fit for the upcoming team we’ll be seeing in the
new phase of the MCU -- which is leaning towards more super-powered heroes instead of military.
3 Thor Thor is a hugely important character, and
one of the strongest superheroes we have ever encountered.
In Infinity War we watched on as Thor helped craft a weapon that rivaled a blast from the
gauntlet itself.
Not only that, but he was almost the one to take down Thanos -- he was so close.
But like Thanos stated, he should have gone for his head.
So, why will Thor reach his fateful end?
Well, he has nothing left.
His powers were stripped from him, he lost his friends and family, and his home world
was destroyed during Ragnarok.
However, death isn’t as finite for Thor as it is for our other heroes.
In the comics we have seen Thor die numerous times and come back -- so perhaps, even if
he does get the boot in Endgame, we still may see him return further down the line.
Not only that, but Chris Hemsworth has stated that he would love to continue playing the
character -- so, here’s hoping we will be seeing him around after Endgame.
2 Iron Man Fans have been speculating this for a very,
very long time -- even prior to Infinity War -- that perhaps Tony Stark’s final days
are quickly approaching.
His character arc has been wonderful to watch over the course of the past 10 years -- as
he went from alcoholic to mentor to Peter Parker.
He was the hero that started it all for us -- so there’s no way he doesn’t go out
in a blaze of glory, and what better time than during the biggest battle we’re ever
going to witness.
Not only that, but if Pepper also dies, it would be fitting that they would both pass
on together.
This theory got more heat back in the summer when it was rumored that Riri Williams was
lined up to be the replacement for Tony Stark.
Honestly, there is no greater journey now for Tony Stark than death itself -- and yes
it would be incredibly painful -- it will be fitting for Tony to be sacrificed for the
greater good.
1 Captain America It just has to be.
I don’t see Endgame ending with Steve Rogers still living.
Captain Marvel is the glue that holds the Avengers together, he is the constant, and
their leader -- and is an incredibly powerful hero.
I mean, we watched on as he grabbed Thanos’ hand to prevent him from crushing him to death.
That’s one strong dude.
However, many think it’s time we say farewell to Captain America in more ways than one.
We already know that Endgame is the last time we will be seeing Cap, but whether he will
retire or die is a whole different story.
Now, in the comics Cap was shot and killed in the Death of Captain America.
Everyone mourned, there were tears, but what they didn’t know was that Steve Rogers’
consciousness was alive, and lost in the time-stream -- so, he wasn’t dead -- technically anyway.
So, many people think this is what we’ll see go down in Endgame.
And that Steve will sacrifice himself to the Soul Stone in order to save the dusted heroes.
Well, there we have it!
