Marvel
has
released
many
successful
releases

the
past
two
years
however,
the
makers
are
yet
to
live
down
their
massive
hit
2019
release

Avengers:
Endgame.
The
film
saw

Avengers
and
their
allies
across
the
universe
fighting
Thanos,
which
also
led
to
the
death
and
retirement
of
major
characters.

Recently,
director
Joe
Russo
opened
up
about
the
decision
to
kill
Robert
Downey
Jr’s
beloved
character
Tony
Stark
in
Avengers:
Endgame.
According
to
reports,
there
was
rumours
about
Steve
Rogers
AKA
Captain
America’s
death,
however,
the
character
instead
decided
to
stay
back
in
time
and
live
out
his
life.

Joe
during
a
panel
at
the
Sands
International
Film
Festival
of
St.
Andrews,
revealed
how
he
had
a
discussion
with
his
brother
and
co-director
Anthony
Russo
about
which
of
the
two
superheroes
should
die.

CBR
quoted
Joe
Russo
as
saying,
“If
you
think
of
Captain
America
as
a
character,
you
go
‘Okay,
Captain
America
dying
is
fairly
obvious,’
right?
[Self-sacrifice]
is
something
he
would
do
based
on
the
character.
You
know,
this
is
a
guy
who
offered
to
be
a
guinea
pig
in
a
science
experiment
in
order
to
be
able
to
go
fight
Nazis
in
the
war.”

“He’s
intrinsically
a
hero.
Like,
there’s
not
a
lot
of
complexity
there.
It
might
be
emotionally
impactful
because
you
like
him.
You
know,
he’s
a
very
likeable
character,
but
it’s
not
necessarily
the
most
compelling
arc,” Joe
explained.

Co-director
Russo
then
talked
about
Tony’s
character
and
added,
“Tony
Stark
is
a
character
who
was
supposed
to
die,”
and
justified
that
Stark’s
ego
and
his
entire
character
arc
from
2008’s
Iron
Man
to
Endgame,
which
needed
a
major
sacrifice
to
complete
his
journey.
“So
that
seemed
like
the
more
compelling
arc
to
us,
that
it
would
be
Stark
who
died.
So
that
it
would
be
a
richer,
more
complex
arc,
and
that’s
why
we
chose
him.”
