‘Avengers’: Every MCU movie ranked in order of significance to ‘Endgame’
LA TimesWarning: The following story freely references major events from “Avengers: Endgame.” It is intended to be read after you’ve seen the film. So — after much discussion, and some friendly debate — we’ve ranked each MCU film in order of its significance to “Endgame.” Last chance to stop reading: “Avengers: Endgame” spoilers ahead. “Avengers: Age of Ultron” Maximoff is established as Scarlet Witch, and Vision is introduced — both beings who are enhanced by the yellow Mind Stone housed in Loki’s scepter. A surprising amount of the film’s action is revisited in “Endgame” but perhaps most importantly, this is the film in which Thor loses his mother Frigga — whose extended return appearance is key to “Endgame.” Note: This is the first time the Reality Stone appears, and during the film’s mid-credits scene it’s delivered to the Collector for safekeeping. “Marvel’s The Avengers” Original Avengers Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye fight together for the first time against Loki, who has brought an army of aliens to Earth to retrieve the Tesseract and to subjugate the planet.
