Will the Advenger Be the Same Agains

For Curiosity fans, Avengers: Endgame marks the culmination of an era. Information technology all started back in 2008 with Atomic number 26 Man and a crazy corporeality of franchise-edifice ambition, and 11 years and 22 films subsequently nosotros've come to the conclusion of what has been dubbed the Infinity Saga. Nosotros've seen a lot happen in that time, and lots of characters come up and go, and it's entirely reasonable to say that the movies have effectively changed modern pop civilization.

Of course, just because the Infinity Saga is over doesn't mean that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is – and there'southward a lot to digest now that we are preparing for the commencement of Stage four (which will follow the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home). Not only have we seen some important arcs come up to an end, but we are also seeing some that are just beginning. It's a complex web, which is why we've built this feature to assist sort information technology all out.

On the hero side of things, there are 33 characters who find themselves in interesting places post-obit the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame, and we've built this piece specifically to analyze where they all currently stand up. Obviously that'southward a lot to dig into, so allow'south dive in…

Atomic number 26 Man

Information technology goes without maxim that the Marvel Cinematic Universe wouldn't exist what it is today without Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man, but now his time on the big screen has come to an end. While he used to exist a selfish asshole, he changed a lot over the course of ix movies, and he fabricated the biggest sacrifice of all in Avengers: Endgame – losing his life later on using the Nano Gauntlet to defeat Thanos and his ground forces. Nosotros may never encounter Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony on the big screen again (and if we exercise it will be years and years from at present), but in that location's no dubiety that he will live on through the memories of his fellow heroes.

Captain America

On the opposite finish of the spectrum from Iron Human, Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America began his journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe past sacrificing his life – purposefully crashing an shipping full of explosives into the arctic – but following the events of Avengers: Endgame he managed to really get his life back. The Avengers thought they were sending their leader on a quick trip back through time to render the Infinity Stones dorsum to their proper places, but he instead decided to stay and live out a total life with his number one gal, Peggy Carter, in the wake of World War II. Steve is now an one-time man, his superhero days behind him, though that doesn't mean that the world doesn't have a Captain America (more on that later).

Thor

Thor's journey has been quite rough in the final few years, what with losing his mother, his father, his blood brother, his best friend, his homeworld, half of the Asgardian population, his hammer, his eye, and more. But Avengers: Endgame surprisingly didn't present him with an end to his journeying; instead, he is set up for a new beginning. Previously he was a character with all of his loyalties wrapped up in the fate of Asgard, but he has now given up his crown and is ready to start a make new life. He began a friendly relationship with the Guardians of the Milky way during the events of Avengers: Infinity War, and now it looks like he'll be joining that crew, simply exactly what he'll get upwards to in the future remains a big question marking waiting for confirmation.

Blob

As teased by Mark Ruffalo a few years ago, Blob has been on his ain specific journey through the events of Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, and that journey has left him in a very interesting identify going frontwards. While Bruce Imprint used to be a man completely terrified of the monster living inside him, the two take at present made peace, and Hulk and Banner are now i – commonly referred to by fans as Professor Hulk. It doesn't seem like this status is going to change any time presently, though it's worth noting that the events of Endgame did see him incur what's been referred to as "permanent damage." He's still the strongest Avenger, but his right arm will apparently never be the same.

Black Widow

Avengers: Endgame didn't feature the massive expiry toll that some fans were expecting, just there definitely were some key lives lost. Nosotros already discussed the passing of Tony Stark, just Natasha Romanoff a.chiliad.a. Black Widow also gave her life and then that the Avengers could succeed in their mission to defeat Thanos and return the world to some semblance of normalcy. Within the continuity, Black Widow died back in 2014, falling from a cliff on Vormir so that Eagle could recollect the Soul Stone. This sacrifice definitely isn't going to be reversed any time presently, only unlike the state of affairs with Robert Downey Jr., fans will be able to see Scarlet Johansson return to the grapheme soon in the grapheme's upcoming solo film (which will evidently accept identify in the past).

Hawkeye

Clint Barton a.1000.a. Eagle experienced some rough years following The Decimation, condign the vigilante known every bit Ronin and traveling around the world killing people, but he got a chance for some redemption at the finish of Avengers: Endgame by helping the team become the Nano Gauntlet where it needed to be so that Thanos could be defeated. That being said, his superhero days seem to be over… though he plainly won't be leaving his post without training someone to take his place. While it has yet to be confirmed, reports have said that Jeremy Renner will soon exist playing the character once again in his very own Disney+ series, which volition be an adaptation of Matt Fraction and David Aja'due south honey comic book run with the character and have him advising upwards-and-comer Kate Bishop.

War Machine

James Rhodes has been flying around in the Military suit ever since Atomic number 26 Human 2, and while he's experienced some pretty devastating personal setbacks (most notably beingness paralyzed from the waist down during the events of Captain America: Civil War) he has continued to fight the expert fight. That being said, following Avengers: Endgame it's not entirely articulate where he stands. He's patently still live, but he besides lost his best friend – who too happened to exist the person to inspire him to adjust up in the starting time place. Don Cheadle's future with Curiosity Studios is non entirely articulate at present, and he doesn't have any confirmed upcoming projects, simply the door is wide open for him to announced in time to come films or television shows.

Reddish Witch

Scarlet Witch missed out on five years of her life after beingness turned to dust past Thanos' snap at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, merely in Avengers: Endgame she not just returned, just is perhaps at present stronger than she'south e'er been. She'due south withal in mourning because of the death of her honey (we'll get more into that in a 2nd), but that emotional pain may take her to some interesting places. She is confirmed to next appear in the Disney+ series WandaVision, and in that location are rumors that the prove may be partially inspired by the House of One thousand storyline from the comics, which saw the hero exhibiting powers more than extreme than nosotros've seen thus far in the Curiosity Cinematic Universe.

Vision

Thanos left many bodies in his wake during his attempt to capture all vi of the Infinity Stones, and while many characters returned to life following Hulk's snap with the Nano Gauntlet, Vision wasn't 1 of them. In that location was an effort made by Shuri in Avengers: Infinity War to rewire the android and so that he could exist without the Mind Stone, but that attempt proved unsuccessful, and he was killed by the Mad Titan when the stone was plucked from his caput. Similar Scarlet Witch, the character will exist back in activeness for the Disney+ series WandaVision, but exactly how his resurrection volition go down remains 1 of the most significant mysteries in the on-going franchise.

Falcon

There has been speculation for a long time regarding the possibility of Sam Wilson a.thou.a. Falcon taking on the mantle of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – specifically ever since that really happened in Marvel Comics in 2015 – and now that concept has go a reality. Steve Rogers gives Sam his shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame, and it's a passing of the torch that we wait will touch on the franchise for many years to come. Similar many of the other characters mentioned on this list and then far, the first place where we will be seeing the aftershocks will exist on Disney+, as the grapheme has been confirmed to star in the developing Falcon & Winter Soldier (potential championship alter pending). Speaking of which…

Winter Soldier

To borrow a quote from Black Widow in The Avengers, Bucky Barnes a.k.a. The Wintertime Soldier a.m.a. White Wolf still has quite a fleck of cherry in his ledger, equally it'southward hundred-to-one that he volition ever be fully recovered from his night history equally a brainwashed Hydra assassinator. That being said, he's still trying to ultimately get out a positive marking on the world, and as noted above he will continue to operate as a heroic vigilante opposite Captain America in the upcoming Disney+ series Falcon & Wintertime Soldier. Of grade, as shown in Captain America: Civil War, the two heroes don't exactly have the all-time relationship ever, so it should exist a show filled with funny conflict in addition to real danger.

Spider-Man

A huge matter that made the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Human being distinct from all previous large screen iterations of the character was his relationship with Tony Stark – simply apparently that'south changing in a major style following Avengers: Endgame. Peter'southward mentor has died, and while he still has admission to the Stark Industries-designed engineering science that he was given, the loss is virtually definitely going to have an emotional event on him (as seen in the well-nigh recent trailer for Spider-Human being: Far From Domicile). The adept news, one could argue, is that the remainder of his life should be at least somewhat normal, as information technology would appear that most of his close friends also turned to dust during The Decimation, pregnant that he'southward not five years behind his classmates.

Ant-Man

Scott Lang a.thousand.a. Ant-Man was dealt 1 of the most pregnant emotional blows in Avengers: Endgame, given that he was trapped in the Quantum Realm for five years – though not from his perspective – and missed out on some central time in the life of his young daughter, Cassie (a situation only made worse when you think about how much of her life he missed when he was in prison). Fortunately he'due south left alive and healthy at the end of the picture with his girl and his girlfriend/partner, and one can imagine him not taking a unmarried second of his life for granted going forward. Right now nosotros don't specifically know what the futurity holds for the character, but it's all but guaranteed that he will become another opportunity to smooth in a trilogy capper for his large screen solo features.

The Wasp

Of form, the "girlfriend/partner" I'm referring to in the Ant-Man section above is Hope van Dyne a.k.a. The Wasp, who is ane of the many characters who returns to life in Avengers: Endgame following the first Nano Gauntlet snap. She winds upwards having a significant role to play in the boxing at the end of the picture show, just across those events she also has an interesting futurity in store given that she will surely feel even more passionately about spending time with her once long-lost mother, Janet van Dyne, in the aforementioned Ant-Man And The Wasp sequel. We see them briefly together during the funeral at the end of the film, only hopefully we'll also get to run into the 2 generations of Wasps together on an adventure soon.

Black Panther

Fans were pretty devastated to see T'Challa a.k.a. Blackness Panther turn to dust at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, but he makes i hell of a triumphant return in Avengers: Endgame, and too has a seriously meaning future ahead of him going into Stage iv of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only is he going to have the opportunity to settle into his role as male monarch of Wakanda (something he didn't really have the chance to do prior to at present), but within that part he's too going to take on some seriously important diplomatic missions because of the new open up border policies he enacted at the end of his kickoff solo flick. It'south exciting stuff, and we tin can't wait to see manager Ryan Coogler dig into it all with the developing Blackness Panther 2.

Shuri

Like her brother, Shuri also makes one hell of an entrance in Avengers: Endgame, and will as well have a key part to play in the future of the franchise. We know she'due south the smartest person on World, only before now the benefits of her intelligence were exclusively available to the people of Wakanda. Now that the land has opened its borders, Shuri tin kickoff irresolute lives on a global scale – and it's incredibly exciting to think nearly the potential that exists at that place. Letitia Wright was a wonderful standout in the get-go Black Panther film, and we can't look to see what'due south going to happen with her in the sequel.

Okoye

Nosotros didn't get to run into much of it in Avengers: Endgame, simply with both Black Panther and Shuri dusted because of the Decimation, Okoye was surely put in a very powerful position in Wakanda during the five years that followed. Now, nevertheless, things are back to normal, and she volition presumably return to her role every bit the leader of the Dora Milaje – the grouping of elite female warriors who are sworn to protect their king with every fiber of their being. The precise significance of that won't really exist known until we get to see Blackness Panther ii, but with Wakanda opening itself up to the earth, and T'Challa becoming a effigy on the global stage, her chore will probable be more than of import than ever.

Captain Marvel

Carol Danvers a.thousand.a. Captain Marvel has been away from World for a long fourth dimension, but in the last few years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe canon she has made vital appearances when needed. First she showed upwards to join the Avengers in killing mail service-snap Thanos, and and so she appeared to destroy Sanctuary II unmarried-handedly during Avengers: Endgame'southward concluding battle. She stayed long plenty on the planet to go to the funeral at the end of the movie, but what'due south not known right now is if she'll really stick around. She is a character who has responsibilities both on Terra and in the cosmos, so we'll just accept to await and run across what kind of adventure Captain Marvel two has in store for her.

Md Strange

In Avengers: Infinity War, Dr. Stephen Strange made what appeared to exist a terrible merchandise when he gave upwards the Time Stone in exchange for the life of Tony Stark, just in Avengers: Endgame we finally learned why information technology was necessary: there was only one path to victory against Thanos, and it was a path that required Tony to cede himself. While it was clearly the right matter to do, that knowledge may still counterbalance on him for some time to come, and nosotros may see it reflected in his personality and graphic symbol when we become to see the upcoming Doctor Strange ii. And, of course, beingness potentially the nigh powerful wizard on Globe, he volition continue to take some major responsibilities protecting the planet from fantastical threats.

Wong

In the years following The Decimation, Wong likely had to take on a very important role by condign the guardian of the New York Sanctum Sanctorum. Of course, he was also very gear up to be called into action when the Hulk snap brought him back, and he was 1 of the key sorcerers contesting Thanos during Avengers: Endgame'southward massive tertiary deed fight. We expect that the adjacent time we see him volition be in Doctor Strange 2, and it'due south probably off-white to assume that he'll be a fundamental source of support for Doctor Strange in his boxing confronting Karl Mordo (whose villainous plow was teased at the terminate of the start solo feature).

Valkyrie

As mentioned earlier, Thor will no longer be the Marvel Cinematic Universe'due south rex of Asgard (now located in Tønsberg, Kingdom of norway), but he didn't go out the post without finding a proper replacement. That chore and all of the responsibility that comes with it now belongs to Valkyrie, who accepts the crown at the end of Avengers: Endgame before the God of Thunder heads off with the Guardians of the Milky way. Correct at present there isn't officially a Thor four in the works, and so nosotros can't say for certain when we'll next see the character, but it seems totally unlikely that we've seen the last of her (and her kickass Pegasus).

Korg

Thor fell into a terrible depression following the events of Avengers: Infinity War and the titular team's offset major loss, merely part of the reason he was able to go through it is because he had the support of some close friends. Korg, who met the God of Thunder during the events of Thor: Ragnarok did what he could to try and proceed his Asgardian pal in a somewhat stable mental state… albeit while arguably enabling some bad habits. We didn't come across him exit with Thor at the end of Avengers: Endgame, so he's probably still hanging out in New Asgard – but that probably just ways that he'll now have the gamble to go Valkyrie'due south best friend.

Miek

Of course, Korg wasn't alone in his efforts being emotional back up for Thor, as he also had the assistance of his buddy Miek from Sakaar. In one case feared to be expressionless due to an adventitious squishing, Miek managed to escape the Sanctuary Ii attack on the Asgardian escape vessel – along with Valkyrie and Korg – at the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War, and has spent the last few years of his life living in New Asgard. While we don't actually see him at the end of Avengers: Endgame, he is presumably all the same there when Thor takes off into space with the Guardians, so we'll just accept to wait and see what his side by side take a chance is.

Star-Lord

Peter Quill a.m.a. Star-Lord may have royally screwed up during the boxing against Thanos in Avengers: Infinity State of war, but hopefully fans will exist able to forgive him as he moves into the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Afterwards all, post-dusting he did help out in a large way during the big boxing in Avengers: Endgame, so at the end of the day one could argue that his slate is clean. He's now back together with his family, best known as the Guardians of the Galaxy, though he is in an interesting position now given that Thor is a new member of his coiffure. Volition he be able to keep the respect of his cohorts now the venerable God of Thunder is on lath? Fourth dimension will tell.

Gamora

Interestingly, Gamora isn't really the Gamora we know by the time Avengers: Endgame comes to a close. The original Gamora died similarly to Black Widow on Vormir, and the one that currently exists in the Curiosity Cinematic Universe is from an alternate timeline. That's a large deal, considering not merely is she nine years younger than she otherwise would accept been, but doesn't accept the same kind of relationship with the Guardians of the Galaxy that was established over many years. That existence said, her family – and peculiarly Peter Quill – certainly wants her dorsum, and that volition almost certainly accept a pregnant impact on the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. three.

Drax

In Avengers: Endgame, Drax sadly didn't get to attain his mission of vengeance and impale Thanos, but that doesn't mean that he didn't still become a happy ending. Post-obit the concluding boxing, he is dorsum together with the Guardians (nearly of whom, similar him, existed equally grit particles for v years), and he seems to all the same be his fun-loving self. As mentioned earlier, at that place will perhaps be a question of where his loyalties prevarication in the hereafter, as he is near definitely an gentleman of Thor, but what'south of import above all is that he'southward happy and healthy.

Rocket

Rocket has actually changed a lot as a character over the years, as he no longer seems to be the asshole intent on pushing away everyone who cares about him. Fifty-fifty when he lost his entire Guardians family he yet remained a team thespian, helping the Avengers maintain club the best that they could post-obit The Decimation. That being said, one has to wonder what he volition exist like going forward, specifically going into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Conspicuously he withal has some of his trademark edge/pessimism, but he may wind upward beingness so happy that he has his friends back that he actually treats them a bit nicer than before (though that's admittedly a pretty low bar).

Groot

Because of his temporary status as dust, Groot missed out on some important development time during the five years he was gone, so he notwithstanding has a lot of growing to do. He'due south no longer a babe, just he does remain an boyish and notwithstanding has a few stages to go through before becoming a full-fledged adult. Correct now we tin't say how onetime he volition be when we catch up with him again in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but hopefully James Gunn has some fun stuff planned with the character (especially within his relationship with a much more mature Rocket).

Nebula

Few characters in pop civilization history tin say that they shot and killed themselves, and then lived to tell the tale, but that's the current story of Nebula in the Curiosity Cinematic Universe. She has probably undergone a bigger emotional change than any other member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and it will be interesting to see how that continues when nosotros see her next. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame she is presumably exploring the creation with her sister, Gamora, and at some point she'll have to deal with Peter Quill & Co., as they will presumably want the 2 of them to join them in one case again on their misadventures.

Mantis

Like the other Guardians with the exception of Rocket, Mantis was turned to dust post-obit what went downward in Avengers: Infinity State of war, but at present she'southward dorsum, and having helped salve the universe in one case once again she is ready for more cosmic quests. Past her introduction to the Guardians of the Galaxy in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, we weirdly oasis't seen much of how she generally works aslope the rest of the team, so that will certainly be an interesting aspect of the character to explore going forward. I thing is for certain: she definitely seems to exist a large fan of Thor.

Nick Fury

Nick Fury had a very minor part to play in Avengers: Endgame, making a dialogue-less appearance during the funeral at the end, but at that place'due south a very good chance that he volition be quite agile going forward into the time to come of the franchise. Not only do nosotros know for a fact that he volition be playing a significant part in Spider-Man: Far From Home, but it's worth noting that we haven't nevertheless seen his very special reunion with Carol Danvers. Could he play as big a part in Captain Marvel 2 equally he did in the get-go solo picture show? Nosotros'll have to wait and notice out.

Maria Hill

Like Nick Fury, Maria Loma didn't exactly have a huge impact on Avengers: Endgame, and didn't give us a proper sense of where she is emotionally following her resurrection – but information technology won't be long until we find out. She may have left S.H.I.E.L.D. years ago (taking a job at Stark Industries after the Hydra takeover), but she is still working alongside the former manager, and will next be seen kicking ass and taking names in Spider-Man: Far From Dwelling house.

Pepper Potts

Pepper Potts defended many years of her life to her relationship with Tony Stark, starting every bit his banana before eventually becoming his wife and the mother of his only girl, but that era of her life is now over following his sacrifice at the end of Avengers: Endgame. With that in mind, it's unknown exactly what the time to come will hold for her. She has her ain specially-designed Iron Homo suit, which she utilized quite well during the battle against Thanos, but now that she'southward a unmarried parent she may not necessarily pursue the superhero life, and instead may simply go along running 1 of the biggest companies in the world.
