Avengers Endgame theory: Iron Man will DIE initiating REVERSE Snap with Infinity Gauntlet
AVENGERS ENDGAME could see Iron Man die when using an Infinity Gauntlet to reverse the Snap.
Avengers Endgame: INTENSE Super Bowl trailer revealed
Avengers Infinity War saw Thanos win, but the surviving superheroes are ready to fight back in Avengers Endgame. Yet with contracts ending and no sign of Tony Stark in Spider-Man Far From Home’s trailer, Marvel fans are wondering if Iron Man will kick the bucket. Screen Rant have pointed out that Iron Man’s left arm being injured has been a recurring theme throughout MCU movies since the first Iron Man movie. In fact, he even mentioned it in Civil War saying “my left arm is numb. Is that normal?”, before nursing it at the end of Avengers Infinity War.
Fans will remember that Thanos was left permanently damaged after the Snap, with his left arm injured after using the Infinity Gauntlet.
Clearly, there’s a link between Iron Man and Thanos, but does Tony Stark’s left arm injury imply his fate in Avengers Endgame?
While Thanos is stronger than the Hulk, he was still left limping after the Snap.
But if the surviving Avengers hope to reverse it in Endgame, they may need to collect the Infinity Stones in the past and use their own Gauntlet.
Certainly, there’s another Infinity Gauntlet on Nidavellir and a supposed fake one in the ruins of Asgard.
So if Tony was the one to wield it and undo Thanos’ genocide, presumably the ultimate cost would be his own life?
In Avengers Infinity War, Thanos had to kill the one he loved – his daughter Gamora – in order to obtain the gem.
This may be what is needed to get that Infinity Stone since the others could be found in the past.
Iron Man’s sacrifice to resurrect the dead would be the perfect end to his character arc, as the franchise’s figurehead takes on a messianic role to save the MCU’s future.
As for Captain America, it’s only fitting that he’s returned to his own time so he can finally have that dance with Peggy and live the life with her he always wanted.
Avengers Endgame is released in UK cinemas on April 25, 2019.
