Your support makes all the difference.A newly released Avengers: Endgame screenplay reveals that several characters died without their final moments being shown on screen.
The script was recently published as part of an awards campaign for Best Adapted Screenplay.
It includes a list of characters who died during Thanos’s fateful snap in Infinity War, which wiped out half of the galaxy.
The remaining Avengers are described as watching “a holo-display rotating through faces of people we’ve lost”, including famous names such as Nick Fury, Peter Parker and Dr Strange.
Among the list are several characters who weren’t shown dying in the Endgame final cut, and whose deaths had remained secret until now – beginning with Jane Foster, Natalie Portman’s character introduced in the 2011 Thor.
Also included is Wong, Benedict Wong’s character who first appeared in Doctor Strange (2016).
Secretary Thaddeus Ross, portrayed by William Hurt, and Sharon Carter, played by Emily VanCamp, are also among the characters whose deaths weren’t shown on screen.
All four were presumably resurrected by Mark Ruffalo’s the Hulk when he reversed Thanos’s snap in Endgame.
Portman will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a female version of Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder.
