10 Moments In Avengers: Endgame That Surprised Everyone

Captain America Is Worthy

The final battle between the forces of good and Thanos’ army is one huge hit of fan service as it’s filled with so many awesome moments that’ll cause any fan to jump for joy. The heroes all coming through the portals. The all-female team-up moment. Cap finally saying the phrase “Avengers assemble!” The list goes on.

The most shocking of these fan-pleasing bits though has to be when Steve Rogers finally proves himself worthy of holding Mjolnir. He got a squeak out of it back in Avengers: Age of Ultron but here, Cap has complete command of Thor’s weapon (er, that sounded dirtier than intended). He even uses it to summon lightning to zap Thanos. We’re not quite sure how that works as that’s Thor’s thing but who cares, it looks cool.

Fans had long theorized that Cap was worthy to wield Mjolnir, but it wasn’t necessarily something we were going into Endgame expecting to see. When you think about it though, it made sense for it to happen before the end of Cap’s hero’s journey.
