Iron Man Initially Went To Asgard In Avengers: Endgame
Avengers: Endgame‘s time journey antics allowed the film to get all nostalgic and revisit previous entries within the MCU. Maybe the obvious alternative of occasions to journey again to was The Avengers, bringing the franchise full circle, whereas probably the most shocking was the journey to Thor: The Darkish World, simply one of many least-favorite of Marvel’s movies.
It seems, although, that going again to the Battle of New York wasn’t initially the plan and there was much more time spent on Asgard in 2013. Empire chatted to the filmmakers of Endgame and one of many revelations they made was that Iron Man initially went to Thor’s homeworld, too, to be able to declare the Tesseract when it was sitting in Odin’s vaults.
Right here’s what co-writer Stephen McFeely revealed:
“Technically in Thor: The Darkish World, the Tesseract is within the vault because the Aether can be there. In order that despatched Tony to Asgard, and he had an invisible stealth go well with, and he fought Heimdall, who may after all see him. I feel Joe [Russo] went in and stated, ‘Why don’t we go in to Avengers? It’s the largest film, it’s probably the most enjoyable, let’s go.’”

We’ve heard about this aborted Iron Man vs. Heimdall struggle earlier than and, whereas it sounds epic, the fitting choice was undoubtedly made in switching Tony’s mission to the aftermath of The Avengers. That tour resulted in a lot of Endgame‘s finest moments – Loki’s escape, Hulk hating stairs, the double Cap struggle. Think about a model of the film that didn’t give us the “America’s ass” meme. What a very horrible timeline that may be, eh?
After all, if Tony did go to Asgard as nicely, you wouldn’t have the plot gap of why Iron Man and Ant-Man select such a troublesome second to nab the House Stone from. From their perspective, it will’ve made much more sense to pinch it when it was gathering mud in Odin’s basement moderately than having to swipe it from underneath their path selves’ noses. However hey, it was extra enjoyable for us that approach, proper?
