Avengers: Endgame is now available to purchase digitally and fans are discovering new Easter Eggs. The latest discovery has to do with the opening Marvel intro and how it differs from past movies, specifically Infinity War. Marvel Studios has a pretty crazy eye for details when they make their movies, even with different directors, writers, and producers. The continuity is one of the reasons Marvel Cinematic Universe fans keep coming back and watching the movies multiple times, often discovering hidden connections and Easter Eggs in the process.
While watching the Marvel intro for Avengers: Endgame, it looks like the previous MCU intros. However, upon closer inspection, one can clearly see that all of the dusted characters from Infinity War have been removed. Black Panther and Scarlet Witch are removed, making for an emotional start to the movie. It's a small and subtle detail, but that's why the fans are so loyal. Every little detail is thought about and taken care of. It's only a matter of time before said fans start to find more hidden Easter Eggs from within the movie.
Another recently discovered Endgame Easter Egg showed Tony Stark constructing the Infinity Gauntlet and placing the delicate and volatile Infinity Stones into place. While the scene is good enough on its own, one clever MCU fan noticed that it is nearly a shot-for-shot remake of a scene involving Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger. A video places the scenes on top of each other and it's really interesting to see how much work into recreating the scene and using the same edits to put it all together. However, Rocket Raccoon adds some comic relief by the end of the scene in question instead of an explosion.
