Marvel Studios Just Revealed Heartfelt Iron Man Easter Egg in 'Avengers: Endgame' on Twitter
Over the weekend, Marvel Studios teased an Easter egg that fans can find in Avengers: Endgame, and you're going to need tissues for this one.
As reported by CBR, a Twitter thread was started by Disney Animation, Pixar, and Walt Disney Studios, with the production companies pointing out some of the lesser-known nods hidden in their films, such as a Mickey Mouse in Toy Story and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Marvel Studios' Easter egg reveal certainly topped them all, however. You can check out the tweet below.

Those familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe will remember that in one Avengers: Endgame scene, the heroes are preparing to travel through the Quantum Realm, to pull off, as Scott Lang would put it, a "time heist" to retrieve the Infinity Stones. They are even wearing new, matching suits to travel back into the past. As they are about to begin their treacherous mission, the Avengers extend their arms and fists in a circle in a show of unity. From a bird's eye view, their hands resemble Tony Stark's old arc reactor.
The arc reactor, which Tony previously used to power his Iron Man suits, has been an ongoing symbol in the Iron Man franchise. It has always seemed to represent Tony's very soul and how he maintains faith in himself and his moral compass. This same reactor appears at the end of the film as a memorial to Stark after he perishes during the final battle with Thanos. I'm not crying, you are! (I'm fully crying).
