Here’s What The “Avengers: Endgame” Cast Looked Like In Their First Marvel Movie Vs. Now – BuzzFeed

Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man.


Marvel

First appearance: Iron Man (2008)

Where they are going into Endgame: At the end of Infinity War, Tony found himself left on the planet Titan after the majority of his comrades turned to dust around him. Endgame trailers revealed that Tony is now stranded in space with Nebula and seemingly no way home, but they also showed him back on Earth with Captain America and the rest of the surviving Avengers, so make of that what you will.

Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America.


Marvel

First appearance: Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

Where they are going into Endgame: Captain America really took the fight to Thanos in Wakanda, but it just wasn’t enough, and he ended up watching as people around him, including Bucky, turned to dust. Judging from the Endgame trailers though, he’s not willing to just sit around and accept defeat.

Chris Hemsworth as Thor.


Marvel

First appearance: Thor (2011)

Where they are going into Endgame: Thor was the game changer in the Battle of Wakanda and he nearly stopped Thanos. Unfortunately, he didn’t go for the head though, allowing Thanos to snap his fingers and wipe half of the universe out. Judging by Thor’s broody looks in Endgame trailers, he’s not happy about how that went down.

Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.


Marvel

First appearance: Iron Man 2 (2010)

Where they are going into Endgame: At the end of Infinity War, Natasha is left on Earth while people turn to dust around her. But, judging from Endgame clips, she’s ready to try and ~avenge~ her friends.

Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk.


Marvel

First appearance: The Avengers (2012)

Where they are going into Endgame: In Infinity War, Bruce and Hulk were having a tough time getting on, mostly because Hulk wouldn’t play ball. This resulted in Bruce donning the Hulkbuster suit during the Battle of Wakanda. Will Hulk still be in hiding come Endgame?

Brie Larson as Captain Marvel.


Marvel

First appearance: Captain Marvel (2019)

Where they are going into Endgame: Captain Marvel didn’t make her first appearance until just a month before Endgame‘s release, but she already looks to be one of the most powerful Avengers in the mix. Going into Endgame, Captain Marvel will be looking to try and get Nick Fury back at any cost, and if that means taking the fight to Thanos, so be it.

Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man.


Marvel

First appearance: Ant-Man (2015)

Where they are going into Endgame: Ant-Man was notably absent from Infinity War, but he was actually running around San Francisco trying to defeat Ghost. In the post-credits scene to Ant-Man and the Wasp, we then found out that Scott actually got stuck inside the quantum realm after his friends tasked with getting him back out got dusted by Thanos’s snap. However, Endgame trailers show Ant-Man knocking on the Avengers’ front door, suggesting he managed to get back to the real world. But judging by those white suits, it looks like he might be heading back into the quantum realm sooner rather than later.

Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine.


Marvel

First appearance: Iron Man 2 (2010)

Where they are going into Endgame: James Rhodes is on Earth with most of the other surviving Avengers, trying to figure out a way to reverse Thanos’s snap.

Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye.


Marvel

First appearance: Thor (2011)

Where they are going into Endgame: After the events of Civil War, Hawkeye found himself under house arrest. However, trailers appear to show him running about as his alter-ego, Ronin, so it doesn’t look like he plans on staying at home while the Avengers try to defeat Thanos.

And what about everybody else?! Well, Nebula and Rocket are still alive and kicking, Nebula stranded in space with Tony, Rocket down on Earth after the Battle of Wakanda. But since they basically look exactly the same, they probably don’t need a before and after.

Okoye, Pepper Potts, Valkyrie, Happy Hogan, and Wong have also escaped the dusting according to character posters revealed by Marvel. However, they’ve all been left out of Endgame trailers, so no before and afters of those characters just yet.

As for the rest of your faves? Well, they weren’t so fortunate in Infinity War and are currently piles of dust. It’s probably a little disrespectful to do before and afters like this…

Avengers: Endgame hits theatres April 26!
