1. Chris Evans wears a prosthetic jaw in a post-credits scene of The Avengers.
A post-credits scene of the Avengers movie shows the heroes eating. They go out for shawarma after winning the battle in The Avengers. Captain America is not seen eating in that scene. Chris Evans had grown a beard for his upcoming movie Snowpiercer, and it wasn’t possible to shave it for the last-minute scene. To keep him looking like Steve Rogers, who was clean shaved, he had to wear a prosthetic jaw. This is why he has not seen eating, and he is also covering his face with his hand.
2. Robert Downey Jr. snuck some snacks onto the Avengers: Endgame set.
Robert Downey Jr. knew how tiring it could be to shoot a superhero film. He snuck some snacks in and used to eat them during a few scenes. No one knew that he was going to do it. Tony, however, offers some treats to the rest of the members as well, one of which moments made it to the movie.
3. Marvel creator Stan Lee’s dream role is done by an Oscar winner.

5. A Week Of Tragedy
The release of the official timeline for MCU left the fans overjoyed to see how the movies were organized. It let them see how one film influenced the events and storylines of other movies in the Marvel universe. There is a dark aspect to this timeline. Marvel either didn’t notice or didn’t bother to change this aspect. The events of Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk, and Thor happen in the exact same week in the marvel universe. This means Asgardian Gort, Whiplash, and hulk’s army chase hits three different locations on the earth at the same time. Due to the fact that three cities in the world faced the destructive wrath of these battles at the same time, this week is tragic instead of being exciting.
6. Iron Man Never Wears His Suit after 2008
Robert Downey Jr. has not worn the entire Iron man suit since 2008, the time of the first iron man movie. He found the suit heavy and uncomfortable, and after seeing what CGI artists could do with their skills, he realized that it was unnecessary for him to wear the whole suit again. Every time tony stark is seen in his suit after the 2008 Iron man, he is either wearing the CGI suit or is wearing just the headpiece and shoulder pads which was mainly used for closeups. The suit has also changed with times, the original one was shown being plugged into sockets for charging, which made it seem more like a phone instead of a potential military gadget.
7. Groot’s disease
After the release of the first Guardians of the Galaxy films, the catchphrase “I am Groot” got extremely famous overnight. While this line has been used as a comedic punchline, the reason behind it is disturbing. Groot used to speak full sentences as a kid, but as they grew, their vocal cords tightened and hardened. Due to this weird disease, they are only able to say three simple words: “I am Groot.”
8. Chris Evans rejected the part thrice
It is thought that anyone would be full of joy if they get a chance to play a superhero in the Marvel movies. Chris Evans is, however, not one of those people. He turned down the part of Captain America three times. After being a part of the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four Franchise, He knew that being a part of a high-budget film without favorable reception is a bad idea. The original contract signed him for nine films. He turned it down because if the movies flop, he would be stuck making flop films. He agreed to do the role after he was able to take his contract down to six years and eventually got over his fear. Read: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier: Everything Revealed So Far
9. The tragic story of Rocket Raccoon
In Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocket Raccoon briefly hints at his tragic past. Although he never mentions any of the details, he says that he has been torn apart and put together against his will. According to one of the stories, Rocket Raccoon was originally engineered to keep insane patients company along with other animal friends. He was also supposed to provide data through harsh experiments.
10. Mjolnir’s power
Thor’s hammer, named as Mjolnir, is “one of the most formidable weapons known to man or god.” It is capable of creating force fields powerful enough to destroy the entire galaxy. It is powerful enough to travel through whole planets to move huge structures to return to thor. It can control Electromagnetic forces and change objects at a molecular level.
