Despite being released back in 2019, Avengers: Endgame still stands out as one of the best Marvel movies to date. In particular, Tony Stark’s death scene remains one of the most powerful moments in the MCU – and fans are still dissecting it.

Recently, the directors shared they originally rejected the call until they landed on the perfect idea
