Avengers: Endgame - Every Major Reveal From The Script

The script for Avengers: Endgame provides greater insight into the twenty-second movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and here are the biggest reveals it contains. When Marvel Studios announced Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 & 2 in late 2014, it came with a lot of excitement from fans, but also a great deal of pressure. The movies, later re-titled Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, respectively, were going to finally feature Thanos as the main villain and serve as the culmination of eleven years of movies. It's safe to say that Marvel Studios delivered, as both films were wildly successful - with Avengers: Endgame becoming the highest-grossing movie of all-time.

The wide-spread popularity of the MCU and Avengers: Endgame has resulted in a nearly non-stop press tour to cover the pre-release, the post-release, and home video release of the film. MCU fans have been inundated with interviews by Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and others. Throughout it all, they've revealed alternate ideas for the movie and have tried to clear up any lingering questions about the movie's plot. The most recent wave of Avengers: Endgame coverage came from the release of The Art of Avengers: Endgame, which showcased a variety of scrapped designs and concepts.

Now, the conversation surrounding Avengers: Endgame is starting to turn again as awards season heats up and Marvel Studios attempts to position the film as one that is worthy of Oscar nominations. Disney and Marvel Studios have a full list of hopeful nominees for a variety of categories, including Best Adapted Screenplay. In order for Oscar voters to get a proper grasp on Markus and McFeely's script, the final version of it has been released. While the purpose of the release is to analyze the 149-page screenplay itself, it did reveal a number of new details about Avengers: Endgame in the process.

One question that many fans have asked is how old Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Chris Evans) is when he returns to the present day of the main MCU timeline. The script reveals that Old Steve is 112 years old when Sam Wilson aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) see him sitting on the bench. According to the script, Steve reunites with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) in 1949 - four years after it was believed he died crashing Red Skull's plane. If Peggy still died of old age in 2016 in this timeline, then the two of them would get to spend 67 years together.

With Avengers: Endgame jumping forward five years to the year 2023 for most of the story, the script also confirms the ages of two super-daughters. Cassie Lang (Emma Furhmann) is confirmed to be 14 when Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is reunited with her. This would mean that Cassie was 9 during Ant-Man and the Wasp and was born in 2009. Meanwhile, Morgan Stark (Lexi Rabe) is revealed to be 4 years old. Tony Stark and Pepper Potts clearly didn't wait too long after Tony's return and their wedding to start a family, with Morgan being born in 2019.

Speaking of Tony, Pepper, and Morgan, the new family is first shown in Avengers: Endgame at a secluded cabin. Fans have simply been referring to the location as "Tony's Cabin" - even in discussing the ability to rent out the actual location - but that is not the actual name of it. The script reveals that this is "Stark Eco-Compound". Stark Industries has concentrated on eco-friendly technology in the past, and this could be a fully self-sufficient house. Maybe this is even why Pepper is readying about the latest developments in composting.

Another area that the script sheds more light on is who all was lost during Thanos' snap at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. Fans have already noticed in the movie that Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) were off-screen casualties, but there were more. The script confirms that Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), Wong (Benedict Wong), and Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt) also did not survive the event. All three of them show up in the movie though, as Jane is part of the time travel missions, while Wong and Ross are shown after the snap is reversed.

The script also reveals the presence of Korbinites in 2014. Part of Avengers: Endgame shows Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) fighting aliens of a planet that Thanos is conquering. The action is brief, but Markus and McFeely did specify in the script that they were fighting Korbinite warriors. Korbinites have not yet been featured in the MCU and are the alien race of the mighty Beta Ray Bill, a longtime fan-favorite character. Since the movie itself does not show the aliens underneath the armor, the script should be confirmation that these are Korbinites, meaning they've already gone to war with Thanos in the MCU.

Following Thanos' fight with the Korbinites, the script has some cut dialogue from the Mad Titan. Since these scenes take place right as Guardians of the Galaxy begins, Thanos was about to send Gamora and Nebula to Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace). After telling Gamora this plan, she was going to say, "He won't like it." But, Thanos' retort shows that the reason for this is because he's learning from his past attempts to acquire the Infinity Stones. He said, "His alternative is death. Ronan’s obsession clouds his judgement. After Loki, I’m taking no chances." This logic is clear even without the dialogue being in the movie but would've served as a nice example of how Thanos' methods evolve.

The script also reveals an idea to show that Dormammu would've consumed one of the branched timelines if they had not been corrected. The sequence comes during Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) and Smart Hulk's (Mark Ruffalo) discussion in 2012 about what happens if the Infinity Stones are removed from different timelines. When the Time Stone is removed as a demonstration, the script says the camera would zoom into the blackened tunnel of the new MCU timeline. The script then says, "Tunnel POV: Hundreds of people run as we fly over a crowded street, up to... the burning Sanctum Sanctorum." As Ancient One's warning of what would happen continues as voiceover, the camera would then "move up to see Dormammu in the sky. He opens his mouth..."
