Avengers: Endgame Co-Director Caps Best Movie Win By Honoring Stan Lee

Is it really surprising that Avengers: Endgame took house the Golden Popcorn for Best Movie at the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards? Nope. We didn't think so.


Marvel's record-breaking film scored the night's top prize, and co-director Anthony Russo was on hand to accept the honor — and celebrate the life and legacy of the late, fantastic Stan Lee in the process.


"A movie like this one is only possible because it's been build onto the shoulders of so much excellent work and thus several talented artists and storytellers stretching back decades and generations right now he mentioned, "all the way back to its origins with the late, fantastic Stan Lee."


And while the core Avengers weren't physically present to accept the award with one-half of the Russo Brothers, Robert Downey Jr. And Chris Hemsworth both sent their regards. "We poured our heart and souls into this, the last film of Phase 3," RDJ mentioned in a pre-recorded message.


And Hemsworth brought it all back to the fans who made Endgame's hulking success possible: "I'd like to thank all the incredible fans, the Marvel fans, who came as well as us on this journey."
