Trivia: Spoilers! Tony Stark's line at the end "And I am Iron Man" wasn't in the script, in fact it wasn't even originally filmed, he just snapped his fingers. When editing the final battle together, the directors realised something was missing, and editor Jeff Ford suggested bringing his arc full circle with that line. They filmed it as part of reshoots, only a few months before the movie was released.

Trivia: When Steve is watching Peggy through the glass, she mentions that Braddock "hasn't checked in." This is likely a reference to Brian Braddock, known as Captain Britain in Marvel comics. No confirmation that he'll be appearing any time soon - might just be an Easter egg for the fans - but Kevin Feige has mentioned discussions relating to him and the MCU before.

Trivia: One of the time-travel movies referenced by Ant-Man is "Hot Tub Time Machine", which featured Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky in the MCU. In fact several of the films or franchises mentioned during the scene feature MCU stars. "Star Trek" had Chris Hemsworth in a small role in the 2009 film (If Inhumans still counts as MCU, then Anson Mount has been on Star Trek Discovery). Scott mentions 'Die Hard, ' which had Samuel L. Jackson in the third film. Interestingly, they don't mention Doctor Who, which has featured myriad MCU actors over the years, including Karen Gillan (Nebula), Christopher Eccleston (Malaketh the Dark Elf), and David Tenant (The Purple Man).

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.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Trivia: Spoilers! The prophecy/vision in Age of Ultron is semi-fulfilled in this film and Infinity War - Captain America's shield is broken in half, Hulk is unable to fight, Black Widow lies on her back in death, same as here, and Thor is in the same position when injured by Thanos as he appears in the vision.

Trivia: A young man is shown onscreen towards the end with the others, and it's not immediately obvious who it is - it's Harley Keener, played by Ty Simpkins, the boy in Iron Man 3.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Trivia: Near the start, Okoye submits a report about an earthquake in the Atlantic, saying they should leave it alone. This is a potential tease for Namor the Sub-Mariner, ruler of Atlantis. This has been hinted at before, with a map in Iron Man 2 showing a point of interest in the Atlantic - the same map which flagged up Wakanda long before the official introduction of Black Panther.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Trivia: The title "Endgame" has been teased in two previous Avengers films - most obviously in Infinity War, when Dr. Strange says "we're in the endgame now", but it actually originates more significantly in Age of Ultron, when Tony says "We can bust arms dealers all the livelong day, but that up there... that's the endgame."

Trivia: In September 2018, before the title was announced, the Russo brothers posted an image of the set on Twitter, with the caption "Look Hard." Eagle-eyed fans worked out that shapes within the image spelled out "Endgame," later confirmed by the Russos.
