In the memorable scene from “Avengers: Endgame,” often hailed as a standout moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the original plan was significantly different. During an interview with Empire (via Total Film) to promote his upcoming movie, “The Electric State,” one of the directors of “Endgame,” Joe Russo, shed light on how this sequence unfolded, stating that there were discussions about it during post-production. According to Russo, in the film’s first version, the camera circled around Steve Rogers, and all the characters were positioned behind him.
In the climactic battle against Thanos, viewers might remember multiple portals sequentially opening up as more Avengers joined the fight. The Russo brothers struggled with this sequence for months during post-production before deciding to film additional scenes during reshoots. Stephen McFeely, a co-writer of Endgame, told Empire he initially thought the initial cut was effective, but acknowledges why the Russos chose their alternative approach.
The blockbuster movie, “Avengers: Endgame,” marked as the concluding act of the Infinity Saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), was packed with moments that delighted the crowd. The portals sequence is perhaps the film’s most iconic scene, evoking a jubilant reaction from viewers; during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, videos showcasing audience reactions to “Endgame” became incredibly popular online. Marvel Studios president, Kevin Feige, commented on this scene’s impact, stating it symbolized unity and a collective experience, saying it was “a beautiful representation of community.” Feige also acknowledged it as his favorite moment in any Marvel film.
After the release of “Endgame,” the portal sequence quickly became a notable reference point in pop culture. It’s been featured extensively in memes, featuring characters ranging from Grogu to Joe Biden in the climactic fight. Additionally, fans have demonstrated their appreciation for this scene by recreating it using LEGO mini-figures.
In essence, Endgame served as the grand finale for all the groundwork laid by Marvel Studios over the previous 22 movies. The portals scene was a fitting climax, emphasizing the epic adventure fans had shared since the debut of Iron Man. Throughout this cinematic journey, viewers became acquainted with and grew fond of diverse characters, each one striking a chord with their unique audience. If everyone had been gathered behind Captain America at once during the portals sequence, it might not have carried the same weight. Instead, what made it successful was that every hero got their chance to shine individually, both emphasizing the franchise’s vast scale and allowing each viewer to cheer most enthusiastically for their personal favorite.
The Russo brothers are preparing to conclude another phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), directing “Avengers: Doomsday” for 2026 and “Avengers: Secret Wars” in 2027. It will be intriguing to observe if they attempt a portals scene as part of the Multiverse Saga, which could be a daring move. Since the end of Endgame, the MCU has experienced some setbacks with underperforming box office hits and films receiving negative reviews. If a portals scene appears in “Secret Wars”, it might seem like a less impactful copy, depending on who the directors choose to unite against Doctor Doom. However, given that Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell are reprising their roles, perhaps the Russo brothers will manage to give each character a meaningful moment before the final battle.
