Avengers: Endgame is a 2019 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely and features an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and so on.
Avengers 3 ended with Thanos carrying out the Snap and wiping out half of all life across the universe, including certain prominent Marvel heroes who fans already know must return in some form for their own movies. Most notable among these is Spider-Man, who plucked heartstrings with a tearful farewell in Tony Stark's arms, yet will swoop back onto screen in July for Spider-Man Far From Home.
Fellow original, Chris Hemsworth's Thor, has another spectacular reinvention whch the actor and audience alike revel in, while Mark Ruffalo's Hulk/Banner dilemma gets the resolution hinted so heavily in the early posters. There is enormous joy being had in subverting both characters yet again and the humour is irresistible. I'm just not entirely sure it helped an already overloaded film find its tone or pacing.
It is a great movie, highly enjoyable and does a remarkable job servicing the entire array Marvel movies that have come before. If sometimes it feels a little self-indulgent and self-revereantial, that is understandable and forgivable. I just wish it had been a tiny bit bolder and more brutal in its choices.
