The Infamous Thanos Snap Could Have Been in Avengers: Endgame Instead

The moment of Avengers: Infinity War that got each person talking is still a hot topic of discussion in 2019.


As it turns out, the "Thanos snap" scene could have, case in point, been saved for Avengers: Endgame.


You know the one. You've probably even seen the meme "Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good..." Or some variation thereof around the world wide web. By the end of Infinity War, Thanos has collected the Infinity Stones for his immensely powerful Infinity Gauntlet. He destroys 50% of all life in the universe. With an eas snap of his fingers, Thanos (SPOILER ALERT!) wiped out half of the universe's population.


One by one, familiar heroes fell, including some of our preference, like Spider-Man himself, Star-Lord, Doctor Outlandish, and others. It was a tremendous blow for Marvel fans, watching beloved characters fade away to nothing.


According to Avengers: Infinity War co-writer Stephen McFeely, that infamous scene could genuinely have happened because the big initial scene for the upcoming Avengers: Endgame as a substitute opposed to because the cap for Infinity War. Just think — we'd all still be blissfully unaware of the chaos about to unfold right about right now. At least up until Endgame's debut, anyway.


"We had so much story in those early drafts of Infinity War that, if anything, we thought we maybe shouldn’t do the Snap up until the end of act one of Endgame,” mentioned Infinity War co-writer Stephen McFeely, speaking to Empire.


In the end, it was Marvel's Kevin Feige who pushed for the devastating ending that had Marvel fans and moviegoers shaking their heads in disbelief. He spoke the ending with co-writer Stephen McFeely, eventually pushing in a "shocking" direction.


"We spoken about that ending for years and years and years," continued McFeely. "It was the reason to adapt Infinity Gauntlet. What was the most shocking thing we might do? End the movie with The Snap."


Of course, with this being one of the most "shocking" things the writing team could do for Infinity War, that has us concerned about what's up next for Endgame.


Luckily, we don't have to agonize over what might happen for also long, as Avengers: Endgame is hitting theaters on April 26.
