AVENGERS: ENDGAME - Fans Have Spotted What Appears To Be A Spider-Gwen Easter Egg

Spider-Gwen made her big screen debut in 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and now an Easter Egg has been spotted in Avengers: Endgame which may or may not tease a jump into the live-action realm.

Now that Avengers: Endgame is available on digital platforms, fans are noticing Easter Eggs that they missed the first time around. For example, one eagle-eyed Redditor has come across what seems to be a nod to Spider-Gwen, an alternate universe version of Gwen Stacy who becomes Spider-Woman.

As you can see below, the scene where Peter Parker reunites with Ned Leeds features a girl wearing colours which definitely seem to pay homage to Gwen. After all, it's hard to believe that a girl with blonde hair, a pink backpack, and a skirt with a webbing pattern on it was there by sheer coincidence! 

There's nothing to say this actually means anything or is setting up a future story, of course. Chances are that it was just added to the scene for fun, and we know that Sony Pictures has its own plans for Spider-Gwen in the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse franchise and a female-led spinoff.
 
Still, this is definitely a fun nod to the source material and many fans would love to see more characters with spider powers arrive in the MCU, whether that' Spider-Gwen, Miles Morales, or Silk.

What do you make of this newly surfaced Avengers: Endgame Easter Egg?

How Long Have Captain America And Iron Man Been Separated?

Fjvowynx o


Captain America and Iron Man finally reunite when Tony Stark is brought back to Earth, but it's not exactly a happy occasion after everything that happened in Captain America: Civil War. Surprisingly, the Russo Brothers aren't entirely sure how long it's been since they last crossed paths and Joe says "We'll let someone else figure that out" after throwing around numbers like six and eight...years!

Presumably, he's referring to how long it's been since they've teamed up. At any rate, the significance of the moment Tony finally gives Steve his shield back wasn't lost on the filmmakers. 

"That's the value I think in serialized storytelling and telling a mosaic like this, is that you...if you make choices that take years to resolve, the audience feels that," Joe continued. "Because they too have waited years for this to resolve. And it has been since 2016 since these characters have had a pleasant scene between each other."
 

Captain Marvel Vs. Thor - Who's Stronger?

V0lnebgc o


One of Avengers: Endgame's most enjoyable moments comes when Captain Marvel squares up to Thor and the God of Thunder declares that he likes the powerful hero. During the Director's Commentary, Joe goes so far as to say that he believes Carol Danvers could actually put Thor in his place. 

"It's interesting seeing the Avengers with Captain Marvel," he muses. "I think that she dimensionalizes them in a really great way. Just from a pure power standpoint and what her abilities are. If you're talking about a collection of heroes, and you're gonna go face Thanos who we believe still has the gauntlet."
 
"She is as powerful, if not more powerful than Thor, and you suddenly have hope again," the director continues. "Because they all know what happened at the end of the last movie, [Thanos] walked through them like they were paper." 
 

Why Captain America Swears More

Iqvjred2 o


You may not have noticed this, but Captain America swears quite a bit more in Avengers: Endgame than he did in previous MCU releases (how times have changed since that "Language" moment, eh?). 

That's something Joe pointed out when he noted, "You notice, this 2023 Cap swears a lot more than the old Cap." McFeely adds: "Yeah, I noticed this. I didn't remember it on set." Joe, however, has an explanation, as he points out that, "I mean, this guy's been through a lot..."

So, intentional or not, there's a good reason for all that extra swearing!
 

Smart Hulk Wasn't Finished Until The Last Minute

Qzw4ke6a o


"Smart Hulk is one of those characters that we really didn't see in full, until, like, the last week before we delivered the movie because the VFX take so long on a character like that," Joe reveals, making it clear just how difficult it was to pull of the character's new look in Avengers: Endgame
 
"We should give credit to Mark Ruffalo, who is an amazing actor," Anthony added. "He worked so hard figuring this character out, because, you know he's been playing these two versions. He's been playing Banner. He's been playing Hulk. But figuring out who the combination of them is, was a real journey for him. We did a lot of experimentation. Spent a lot of time on a motion capture stage, playing with different ideas with Mark. He worked really hard to find this character."
 

Black Widow's Mission In Tokyo

Qmx5bdv1 o


Avengers: Endgame is a very long, very busy movie, so why take the time to have Black Widow track Hawkeye down in Tokyo? "There's no one who could have pulled him out of this other than her," says Joe. "No one else shows up and gets him to come home. " 
 
"Well it's also implied that this is essentially what he did for her when he pulled her out of being a Russian Agent," Markus adds before Joe concludes: "That's right it comes full circle, their relationship. Right? He had an opportunity to kill her and he changed her life, and now here she is changing his." Whether we'll see their first meeting in Black Widow obviously remains to be seen.
 

Wait, People Laughed At Thanos' Decapitation?

Gyduydqo o


Apparently, both the movie's writers and directors have been present at screenings where people break into laughter after Thanos' decapitation. Needless to say, that's left them baffled. 

"It gets a laugh every time I'm in the theater," McFeely says. "Or like a nervous shock, right?" Anthony points out that he's noticed the same thing, and also puts it down to what a jaw-dropping moments it is. "People laugh at that and I was always shocked by that." 

However, McFeely was quick to point out that Alan Silvestri's score helps take away some of that levity. "I think the Silvestri score and the long slow walk here make you go, "Oh, crap. We've got nothing now," he explains, referring to the hopelessness of their situation.
 

The Insane Number Of VFX Shots

Kqabl30m o


You don't need us to tell you about the huge amount of CGI that's utilized in Avengers: Endgame, as almost every scene is enhanced with visual effects. However, between this movie and Avengers: Infinity War, it's said that there were 6000 shots with visual effects.

That might be a new record for a two films shot back to back, and shows just how much work went into them.
 

The Ramifications Of The Five-Year Time-Jump

3zqjn5ij o


Avengers: Endgame's jump five years into the future has led to a lot of discussion, and during this Director's Commentary, the filmmakers talked more about what happened to those who were in planes or boats at sea. "[It's a] very complicated premise, right?" Anthony asks.

"You know, bringing people back from five years ago is a messy proposition any way you look at it, not even talking about the time travel complexities of it. You know, that's something I know some people like to think about, after watching the movie." McFeely is unsure about what happened to those who were on a plane, while Anthony questions people's marital decisions.
 
Joe, however, points out that "one of the most compelling things about the movie, is doubling down at the end and not reversing it." As McFeely says, they have to "own" that decision. 
 

Brie Larson Played Captain Marvel In Endgame Before Her Solo Movie

Z8lllmxd o


Before Brie Larson started working on Captain Marvel, she was already playing Carol Danvers in Avengers: Endgame.

 "It should be noted, people might know this already, that's basically Brie Larson's first or second day," McFeely said, before Joe then confirmed that her conversation with Thor in The Avengers Compound was actually the Oscar-winning star's first day on the movie's set. 
 

How The Idea Of Time-Travel Came Up

1ggjmpt1 o


After finishing Avengers: Infinity War's screenplay, McFeely and Markus admit that they found themselves in a tough spot as they needed to find a way to undo everything Thanos did in that film.

Well, the scene between Steve Rogers and Scott Long where they discuss time-travel reportedly mirrored their own conversations early on when they were talking about how to write the screenplay. 

Continue reading below to check out a breakdown
of Avengers: Endgame's deleted scenes!

 

At Home With Tony Stark

Tony-Pepper


A scene that was clearly meant to serve as Tony Stark's reintroduction after that five year time-jump, we see Tony and Pepper spending some quality time together in the kitchen preparing a meal for them and their daughter. It's a nice little sequence that sets the mood and shows us the hero's new home life, but not one that was really essential. 

The fact that Pepper refers to their daughter in this scene would have also lessened the impact of that big reveal in the film itself when Tony heads out into the garden to find Morgan. 
 

Why Captain America Crashed That Plane

Rhodey-Cap


As Steve Rogers and Rhodey recap the history of the Infinity Stones, the latter has some big questions about why the Tesseract ended up at the bottom of the ocean during World War II. 

Asking Cap why he found it necessary to crash the plane, Steve explains that it was because it was full of bombs. However, he's not so quick to answer why he didn't just jump out before it went into the ice and the scene ends before we find out!

It's a great little moment, and one it would have been nice to see in the final cut. However, it's easy to see why it went. 
 

Blowing Up The Mothership

Team


Some surveillance footage from 2012 is shown as Captain America battles the Chitauri aliens, and Rocket questions Earth's Mightiest Heroes about exactly how long they were fighting them. When Black Widow mentions that it was at least two or three hours, the Guardian bursts into laughter and simply can't understand why it took them that long to stop the "suckiest" army in the galaxy. 

After Steve admits that they didn't realise blowing up the mothership was an option, Rocket's laughter is cut short when Tony uses a razor to shave the top of his head!
 

Thor Needs To Focus

Thor-Rocket-2


In 2013 era Asgard, the God of Thunder takes a leak much to the disgust of Rocket. The Guardian tries to talk him round but with no luck, especially as Thor is well aware that they're just hours away from an attack from the Dark Elves which will result in the death of his mother and countless Asgardians. 

As Thor fumbles to find the device Rocket needs to retrieve the Aether, we see that his pockets are full of candy bars and this explains why Rocket is the one to take it from Jane while Thor meets with his mother. It's a fun scene, but one which wasn't necessary in an already lengthy movie.
 

Leaving A Better World Behind

Tony-Howard


In a brief exchange with his father Howard Stark as they leave that military bunker, Tony talks about how they both want to leave a better world behind them and the pressures of doing that for their children. It's during this part of their conversation that Howard offers his son a job!

It's unclear whether he's referring to S.H.I.E.L.D. or Stark Industries, but this a cool little scene that would have been nice to see included - even if it wouldn't have added much to the final cut.
 

The Heroes Take A Knee

Guardians


After Tony Stark draws his last breath, the shocked heroes surrounding him all take a knee to pay tribute to the fallen Avenger who sacrificed himself in order to put an end to the Mad Titan. 

While it's nice to see them pay their respects, it doesn't really make sense for some of the characters who never even met him to pay tribute like this, while the whole thing comes across a little over the top and nowhere near as good as the funeral scene we ended up getting.

However, Doctor Strange's reaction is very interesting, as he looks particularly broken up by what's happened. 
 

Gamora's Escape

Gamora1


Part of the same scene as the one mentioned above, Gamora watches on as the heroes take a knee. and this confirms that she obviously survived the third snap and wasn't dusted alongside the Mad Titan and his army.

It's safe to assume that Marvel Studios wanted to keep Gamora's fate ambigiuous, hence why even a different version of this moment didn't make it into the movie. 

Have you guys watched Avengers: Endgame's deleted scenes yet? Which of them do you think should have been left in the final cut? Let us know your thoughts on that in the comments section.

The MCU's hyper-connectivity has hit the point where they can leave it as is and it's a cute Easter Egg or do something with it at any point in the future and claim it was always hinted at and not be wrong with either answer.

Better resurrected/revamped character, Jason Todd or Gwen Stacey?

@WAKANDABATMANFOREVER -

Jason Todd, since he was actually resurrected and not from an alternate Earth.
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 8/2/2019, 11:00 AM
@Battabing - Todd 100%, like @Battabing said Gwen wasn't resurrected. Under the Red Hood I still believe to be DC's best animated movie, followed by The Dark Knight Returns.

GhostDog
GhostDog - 8/2/2019, 10:12 AM
@knocturnalzen10 - I would be down for this.

He could tap into just cool of an action film the first Blade was back in the day.

knocturnalzen10 - 8/2/2019, 10:18 AM
@BlackBeltJones - first blade was such an well quality film and not noted enough for saving Marvel comics in general .....

Still wish it was Leo instead of Cooper, don't know why those talks broke down.

Spider-Gwen would be fun to see live action, maybe in a future trilogy along with Miles as well. Which is funny since that’s the only iteration of Gwen Stacy I like
