Avengers: Endgame had many iconic moments. One of those moments is seen in the final battle of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Infinity Saga, where heroes emerged at Avengers HQ.
Some were already there to fight Thanos, while others came through portals created by Doctor Strange and Wong.
But, the famous On Your Left scene was quite different in the first attempt as how it turned out to be. Thanks to the changes that led to one of Chris Evans’ most iconic Captain America moments, that is still super cool.
Avengers: Endgame Portal Scene Had a Completely Different Version Initially
Dan Deleeuw, a Marvel VFX supervisor who’s also the director of Loki’s second episode in Season 2, discussed his work on Avengers: Endgame with ComicBook.com. He shared insights about his experience working on the film:
“It was interesting because there was a lot of different ideas. There was a version of the cut, the day that we had all the actors together, and it was like this long panning shot across all the actors.”
As it turns out, the portal’s moments originally didn’t give each character a big return moment. Deleeuw recalled:
“It was the day that everyone was there and it was like this giant, expensive in essentiality you had all the actors there, but it just didn’t play as well as we wanted.”
Now, Deleeuw confirmed that the scene was initially different from what we see in the movie today. But it only made Evans’ Captain America character shine, resulting in one of the spectacular moments in Avengers: Endgame.
A Scene Change in Avengers: Endgame Resulted in Chris Evans’ Iconic Captain America Moment
There are many fantastic scenes in the MCU’s 23 films, but nothing quite compares to Captain America wielding Mjolnir in Avengers: Endgame.
The iconic Chris Evans moment in Avengers: Endgame is when Captain America lifts Thor’s enchanted hammer, Mjölnir, and wields it in battle against Thanos. It shows his unwavering strength, worthiness, and leadership. This single act showcased him as an equal among the gods.
