What if, in Avengers Endgame, Tony and Cap died together?

Well, they almost did.

In fact, at one point, all of the original six Avengers would have met their end.

There also would have been no portals, Nick Fury would have died, the time heist wouldn't have gone back to New York 2012, Thor would have fought a younger version of himself, Stark would have went to Asgard,

and Thanos and Doctor Strange would have had a rematch.

So let's dive in and find out why these changes happened, resulting in the movie we got, and also take a look at what could have been Endgame.

Kevin Feige originally pitched a Toy Story 3 -style ending, where all of the original Avengers would sacrifice themselves together.

However, directors Joe and Anthony Russo pushed back against this idea, believing it was too extreme and that audiences wouldn't be able to process such a massive loss.

Instead, they opted for a more balanced approach, choosing specific characters to make sacrifices at key moments to allow for emotional catharsis while maintaining the film's momentum.

The Russos at one point considered having Cap and Tony die together.

However, producer Nate Moore suggested the idea of Steve reuniting with Peggy Carter, figuring that giving him a chance at personal happiness would be a more meaningful and unexpected resolution.

Unlike Tony, whose arc revolved around learning self -sacrifice, hearkening all the way back to Cap's line in the first Avengers when he tells Stark, you're not the guy who makes the sacrifice play,

Cap had always been willing to lay down his life for the greater good.

What he never allowed himself was a life of his own.

By sending Steve back in time to be with Peggy, the film gave him closure in a way that honored his character without resorting to another tragic farewell.

Plus, the Russos felt it would be better to have varied outcomes for the characters as it's less predictable

and creates a richer ending.

However, an earlier draft of the film saw Thanos traveling back in time to kill every Avenger in 2012

and dropping the decapitated head of past Captain America at the feet of present -day Steve Rogers.

Tony Stark's death was originally conceived very differently.

In the initial version of the scene, he never repeated his now iconic line, I am Iron Man, which was a powerful callback to the first film.

Thanos didn't say anything either.

In this version, which was shot, Thanos simply put on the gauntlet, gave Stark a knowing look as if to say I've won,

and snapped his fingers, only to realize in stunned disbelief that nothing happened.

He then turned to Tony, who silently raised his hand and snapped instead.

While beautifully shot and emotionally resonant, something was missing, a thematic resolution for Thanos.

The Russos realized that Thanos' arc in Endgame was built around his belief of inevitability, the idea that no matter how hard the Avengers tried, they could never truly defeat him.

For the film's conclusion to have true, thematic weight, Thanos needed to verbalize this belief one last time, by saying, I am inevitable, which led the filmmakers to Tony's response,

and I am Iron Man.

However, reshooting that scene was a challenge.

Downey had already said his emotional goodbyes to the cast, and mentally and emotionally moved on from the role, assuming that last day on set was the last he'd ever play the character.

However, Feige and the Russos convinced him that the line was necessary to the film's story.

Adding to the poignancy, when he finally returned to shoot the new ending, it was on a stage directly across from where he had originally auditioned for Iron Man.

His final moment as Tony Stark was filmed just a few hundred feet away from where his journey began, bringing his story full circle in the most poetic way possible.

The writers also originally wrote a number of dying words for Tony, but Downey thought it would be much more powerful for Tony to shut up for once and die silently.

His fellow Avengers also originally took a knee afterwards, but this was cut out of the final film.

As was a scene where Tony visits the soul world after snapping his fingers to meet his grown -up daughter Morgan, which the Russos felt was confusing and disrupted the emotional weight of his death.

At one point, Nick Fury would have died in a brutal confrontation with Thanos' Black Order.

In a moment meant to mirror Agent Coulson's death in the Avengers, Fury would have been stabbed from behind by Corvus Glaive.

Had the scene been kept, Captain Marvel, where Fury plays a major role alongside Brie Larson's Carol Danvers, would have effectively served as a swan song.

In fact, Fury's post -credits scene in Infinity War where he pages Captain Marvel was almost scrapped as well.

The Russos revealed that they originally considered not including any post -credits scene at all, wanting audiences to sit with the full weight of the film's devastating ending.

In the end, however, they chose to feature Fury's desperate call to Captain Marvel, offering fans a small glimmer of hope, and of course, to tease the next movie.

And speaking of the end of Infinity War, the heartbreaking scene where Hawkeye's family vanishes due to the snap was originally planned for the end of Infinity War.

The idea was to show that Thanos' actions had consequences beyond the battlefield, reinforcing the full scope of his devastation.

However, the filmmakers found that placing the scene there disrupted the placing of the climax.

Instead, the Russos decided to move it to the opening of Endgame, as it immediately re -immersed the audience in the emotional weight of Infinity War's ending before continuing with the story.

Natasha's sacrifice on Vormir was originally different too.

Initially, her and Clint's debate over who should sacrifice themselves was interrupted when Thanos and his goons showed up.

As Clint formulates a plan to fend them off, Natasha ignores him, and sprints towards the edge of the cliff, determined to sacrifice herself.

As Natasha runs, Thanos' forces shoot her three times, but she clings to life just long enough to drag herself to the edge.

When she looks back, she saves Clint before jumping off the cliff as Thanos himself approaches.

From there, the scene played out as it did in the final film, with Clint being teleported to safety.

However, this version of the scene lacked the emotional depth of the final cut.

The attack from Thanos' forces distracted from the core of Natasha's sacrifice, cutting short the heartfelt exchange between her and Clint.

And unlike the theatrical version where Clint actively fought to stop her, this iteration left him too distant to intervene, leaving no debate over which of the two was going to die.

Even Nebula's death also would have been different.

Originally, she would have managed to intercept the Stark Gauntlet during the chaotic game of Keep Away in the final battle.

Desperate to prove her worth to Thanos, she would have attempted to wield the gauntlet herself.

A nod to the comics, where Nebula briefly takes control of the stones.

However, she would have quickly discovered that she wasn't powerful enough to survive using them, leading to her death.

This version would have further emphasized her tragic desperation for her father's approval.

But ultimately, the filmmakers chose a more direct confrontation between the two versions of Nebula, reinforcing good Nebula's growth by having her killer doppelganger when she aims her gun at Gamora.

The time heist originally played out very differently in early drafts.

Instead of revisiting the events of the Avengers, the team initially planned to send Tony to Asgard, where he would have worn a stealth suit to infiltrate Odin's vault, to retrieve the Aether and Tesseract.

Once inside, he would have faced off against Heimdale.

Thor, meanwhile, would have extended scenes with Jane Foster, including a very funny scene in which Rocket has to convince Jane to allow him to remove the Aether from her body.

However, after this was scrapped, the writers had Thor face off against his past self on Asgard.

While this would have highlighted his growth over the last decade, the Russos felt it made the time heist overly complex.

Instead, they chose to move the fighting himself concept over to Captain America, deciding that Thor's arc was better served through his emotional reunion with his mother,

which played a more meaningful role in his journey of self -acceptance and healing, rather than a physical confrontation with his past self.

Morag was also envisioned as a much bigger set piece, completely underwater, which proved too logistically complex and didn't allow thanos

and his daughters to track the heroes at the right moment

at one point the tesseract was retrieved from the triskelion with

a character then driving to dr strange's house a sequence the writers later admitted sounded absurd

when spoken out loud initially they avoided returning to the avengers

because it felt like they were pandering

but joe russo eventually pushed for it realizing

that sometimes the best choice is the one

that makes the most narrative sense the time suits were originally different too

and based on the guardians breather mesh that allowed them to travel into space

which would have looked like a bubble around everyone's heads but after seen the test footage, the Russos thought it looked awful, so they gave everyone Ant -Man inspired helmets while the breather mesh became the visor.

Everyone returning from the snap was almost handled very differently.

Originally the snapped Avengers would have reappeared at the compound, but since it was well before Thanos showed up, they would have cut to everyone eating pizza to kill time,

as a subtle nod to the Avengers eating shwarma in the first movie.

Thor almost had a training montage to shed his weight before the final battle, showing him physically prepare to face Thanos once again.

However, this was ultimately scrapped.

Another version didn't even have the Snapped Avengers arriving through the portals, but the camera would have rotated around Cap and everybody would have been collected behind him.

When the portals were introduced, it was originally Peter Parker who would have returned from the Snap first, but this was restructured to build on itself instead, making the moment even more impactful.

Thanos and Doctor Strange were originally set for a rematch during the final battle, with Strange blasting Thanos' his consciousness into the mindscape, presenting him with all his various crimes,

before being brought before the Living Tribunal, an all -powerful cosmic entity, who would judge him guilty.

While this sequence would have been a visually stunning callback to Doctor Strange, it was ultimately cut, to keep the final battle on the battlefield.

Thor joining the Guardians at the end of the film wasn't originally planned.

It was a last -minute decision made during editing, sparking fan speculation that Guardians 3 might cheekily be titled as Guardians of the Galaxy.

This completely blindsided James Gunn, who had just returned to Marvel and signed on to direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and suddenly had to figure out how to handle Thor in his story,

which was already written.

Luckily, Thor Love and Thunder quickly resolved the plotline, sparing Gunn from having to incorporate Thor into his film.

While Avengers Endgame could have taken many different directions, the final version we got was a carefully crafted balance of nostalgia, emotional payoffs, and character -driven storytelling.

From alternate deaths to drastically different time heist plans, these changes highlight just how much the film evolved during development.

100

In the end, Endgame wasn't just about closing a chapter, it was about honoring the journey that led there, ensuring each hero got the send -off that felt true to their story.
