While the concluding genocide of last year’s Avengers: Infinity War ensured that Avengers: Endgame didn’t have to juggle quite so many characters in its early minutes, the new movie ultimately boasted the largest cast of any MCU flick to date. And in a new Reddit post, user spanish-thumb has ambitiously tried listing every named character who shows up in the film’s 3-hour runtime. Needless to say, spoilers lie ahead.

The post goes on to list other characters who featured in the movie’s epilogue, as well as any cameos that don’t fit into the above categories:
Epilogue Cameos
- Ned Leeds
- Ramonda
Other Cameos
- Cassie Lang
- Red Skull/Johann Schmidt

Also worth noting were some of the famed actors and celebrities who made fleeting appearances in the film:
- Stan Lee as ‘70s war protester
- Joe Russo as support group attendee
- Jim Starlin as suppport group attendee
- Yvette Nicole Brown as SHIELD Agent
- Ken Jeong as Security Guard
- Hiroyuki Sanada as Akihiko

Lastly, the post lists all the major characters who either died or (as far as we can tell) ended their run in the franchise:
- Thanos
- Akihiko
- Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff
- Nebula (2014)
- Thanos (2014) and army
- Iron Man/Tony Stark
- Captain America/Steve Rogers
Of course, you might want to put a big asterisk next to Black Widow’s name in that last section, seeing how we already know her to be coming back for at least one more film (albeit, most likely a prequel).
In any case, while the above rundown may or may not still be missing a few named characters, the list makes a convincing case that Avengers: Endgame was every bit as huge as fans hoped it would be.
