Avengers: Endgame was filled with emotional moments, but there was one in particular during the final battle that undoubtedly warmed the hearts of Marvel fans everywhere. It was the reunion between Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark and Tom Holland's Peter Parker.
Parker, who had been snapped away along with half of all life in the universe, was brought back for the final battle in
Avengers: Endgame thanks to the successful mission to recapture the Infinity Stones. Tony Stark, of course, played a huge role in that, working to discover the science behind time travel; his efforts aided by the fact that Parker had vanished right before his very eyes with Thanos's snap.
While Stark's life was actually fairly decent following the snap — having finally started a family with Pepper Potts — the guilt of having lost Peter Parker ate at him. So, to see the two finally reunited after what was five years for Tony Stark was an incredibly emotional and powerful moment in the film - and to see him actually stop Parker from talking with a big hug brought tears to many fans' eyes.

has been sharing special behind-the-scenes photos and videos of the production and filming process of the Marvel blockbuster. The most recent video captures the magical moment detailed above.
The latest BTS shot from the
Endgame star comes just after
he shared another incredible moment from the film — when he wields the Infinity Guantlet and states that epic final line: "I am Iron Man." As previously revealed, Downey Jr. had some reservations about that line. It utlimately made it into the film, though, and easily became one of the most memorable moments.

just $300 million away from topping
