10 Cameos In Avengers: Endgame That Were Totally Unexpected

From the initial five-year time jump to the Time Heist which revisits past movies to the grand final battle that unites every single hero in the franchise, Avengers: Endgame is stacked full of cameos, walk-ons and brief supporting roles for a bevy of faces from Marvel past. In comparison, it makes the ballooning cast of Avengers: Infinity War look minuscule.

It’s clear by now that Avengers: Endgame features a lot of surprise cameos, but there’s one that takes the crown for the most unexpected appearance. Think back to the grand finale battle against Thanos’ forces – where every MCU hero ever assembles to save the universe. There’s no hero missing from the line-up. Avengers, Guardians. Howard the Duck. They’re all there. Wait, what? Howard the Duck?

Yup. Overwhelming as this scene is, you might not have spotted him the first time around but Howard is definitely there. Have a look in the screenshot above and you’ll spot Howard behind Wasp on her right surrounded by the Ravagers. We’re guessing the portal behind them opens up from Contraxia, the less-than-reputable planet frequented by the duck and the space pirates.

The fact that Howard is in the MCU at all is hilarious, thanks to James Gunn dropping him in the Guardians of the Galaxy post-credits scene, but it’s even funnier than he’s part of this mythic battle that wraps up the whole of the franchise so far. If you think about it, his appearance brings Marvel’s cinematic history full circle. 1986’s Howard the Duck was the first ever Marvel movie and, 30 years later, now we’re getting films like these. But, most importantly, Howard is still around.
