** The DownerEnding to ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' was originally going to be this film's DownerBeginning; had that been the case, ''Infinity War'' would have ended with Thanos completing the Infinity Gauntlet before actually using it in this movie. However, the creative teams working on the two films decided that it best suited the story to have the actual {{Cliffhanger}} follow the BadassFingersnap itself and to show its fallout before making viewers wait a year to see how the story would be resolved.
** It was executive producer Trinh Tran's [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/movies/avengers-endgame-questions-and-answers.html idea]] to kill off Thanos early in the film, assuring the writers that having accomplished his goal to decimate half life in the universe, Thanos had no longer a purpose in life and could die satisfied. [[spoiler:To ensure the movie still had a BigBad for the climax, the Time Heist brought Thanos from the time of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' forward.]]
** Initial versions of the film [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/movies/avengers-endgame-questions-and-answers.html had more]] memorials like the Wall of the Vanished in San Francisco erected in every city of the world.
** Before showing Captain America's support group, [[https://twitter.com/Avengers/status/1157470015139930112 there were some shots]] filmed on Central Park to show that the Snap also wiped out half of all plant life, depicting Central Park lacking fifty percent of its trees, as confirmed by WordOfGod back during ''Infinity War'' in regards to plant and animal life. Even though that idea is contradicted by ''Infinity War'', as clearly shown when none of the grass or trees in Wakanda dusted.
** [[https://comicbook.com/marvel/2019/10/24/war-machine-avengers-endgame-president-marvel-series/ In one draft]], Rhodey would have become Vice President of the United States after the time skip. This was scrapped because, according to co-writer Christopher Markus, "it didn't have any story weight".
** The Time Heist [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/movies/avengers-endgame-questions-and-answers.html suffered many variations]] during the film's development:
*** The first draft of the script had the characters avoid going back to the events of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' and included Iron Man going with Thor and Rocket to Asgard to collect the Tesseract from Odin's vault (and getting into a fight with Heimdall in the process as the latter would have localized him with his enhanced senses).
*** When Iron Man and Ant-Man plan to retrieve the Tesseract from the 2012 Avengers, there were plans to feature either Nick Fury or Maria Hill as the one to ask the Avengers to deliver both Loki and the Tesseract. When Creator/RobertRedford announced his plans to retire after starring on ''Film/TheOldManAndTheGun'', they opted to ask him to reprise the role of Alexander Pierce once more, shooting his appearance in one day -- his very last one as an actor, other than the version of himself depicted as the President in ''Series/{{Watchmen|2019}}''.
*** There were plans for the present day Thor to fight his slimmer, more muscular self from ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' during the Asgard sequence, but that battle was dropped in favor of the similar fight between Captain America and his 2012-era self.
*** Jane Foster was originally going to play the role of the person who pep-talks Thor out of his funk since Creator/NataliePortman was willing to return now, but it was ultimately decided that it would make more sense to give that role to Frigga, since being Thor's mother and it being the point in time where she was to die makes her playing this role much more emotional (which lead to Jane's only scenes in the final film being archived footage from ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''). A scene featuring a conversation between Jane and Rocket was apparently filmed but cut. Though in terms of a major role, Portman was later confirmed to return for ''Thor: Love and Thunder''.
*** A heist in the Triskelion to get the Tesseract and raiding Doctor Strange's apartment, long before the events of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' and ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'', was also considered, back when the writers were hesitant about revisiting ''The Avengers'' but ultimately made logical sense to do it at that point, and also in terms of audience familiarity, leading to their attempt to take the Tesseract directly from SHIELD instead, and Hulk running into the Ancient One (as she had not died yet at the time) to get the Time Stone from her.
*** The first draft of the script had the Avengers retrieving the Power Stone from Morag long before the events of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'', back when Morag was actually flooded, as Creator/JamesGunn had previously stated in the audio commentary of ''Guardians'' that Morag is entirely covered by oceans and the water lowers every three hundred years. Anthony Russo [[https://www.comicbookmovie.com/avengers/avengers_endgame/avengers-endgame-directors-on-deleted-scenes-quicksilver-rumors-why-bucky-isnt-captain-america-more-a168216?cp=11 later noted]] that early on, the sequence may have involved the presence of a "giant sea eel". Instead War Machine and Nebula visited Morag during the opening of ''Guardians'', even knocking out Star-Lord.
*** According to the film's DVDCommentary, Peggy Carter was not featured in the Camp Lehigh sequence when Captain America and Iron Man traveled back to the 1970s in the first draft of the film, but Christopher Markus and Stephen [=McFeely=] ultimately opted to include her as her inclusion was lovely.
*** [[https://www.cbr.com/marcus-mcfeely-avengers-endgame-sdcc-2019/ One version]] had Captain America as the one to go to Vormir, forcing him and Red Skull to collaborate together so the former could obtain the Soul Stone.
*** The scene at Vormir was originally was going to be much more action-packed, with Thanos and his army attacking Natasha and Clint partway through. The deleted footage officially released shows the mountain being suddenly attacked by Sakarran Necrocraft, with the two being caught in a losing battle with Thanos' soldiers. Natasha is mortally wounded in the process, and eventually jumps in order to save Clint as Thanos approaches him. This was scrapped in favor of making the scene much more emotional and personal, with Natasha choosing to jump herself as opposed to being under duress.
** The Dark Elves from ''The Dark World'' [[https://www.slashfilm.com/thanoss-army-dark-elves/ almost returned]] as part of Thanos's army.
** At one point, Christopher Markus and Stephen [=McFeely=] [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/movies/avengers-endgame-questions-and-answers.html considered]] having Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne participate in the final battle with their old Ant-Man and Wasp suits. It was scrapped because they feared that their presence would've made the battle a "character orgy".
** [[http://epicstream.com/news/NicoParungo/Avengers-Endgames-Final-Battle-Was-Going-to-be-Longer-and-Worse?utm_content=buffer366f9&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=epicbuffer&fbclid=IwAR2KqTcuACvh8aDvcdtgl4lu7X2BiLzkzm3CifMh18iOpYKuVK7dvhpWnHI The final battle was originally going to be longer]], with many characters grouping in a "trench" to discuss their battle plan. It ultimately didn't go through since it didn't feel genuine. The scene was still filmed and included as an extra for the film on Creator/DisneyPlus.
** Originally, Bucky Barnes was going to receive the shield from an older Steve Rogers and become the new Captain America, but it was rejected by Markus since he felt that Steve did not think that Bucky was idealistic enough to carry on the mantle.
** There were plans to include the Living Tribunal but was vetoed by Marvel. The Russo Brothers felt that in retrospect, it would not have made sense for him to appear out of nowhere.
** Katherine Langford was cast as an older version of Morgan Stark, who would've spoken to Tony in the Soul Stone just before his death, mirroring the scene where Thanos briefly spoke with a child version of Gamora at the end of ''Infinity War''. [[DeletedRole The scene was deleted]] after test audiences found it confusing.
** In one draft, after discovering the Avenger's plan, past-Thanos traveled to his Earth and wiped it out, along with its Avengers, before traveling to the present day and taunting the present-Avengers with the bodies of their past-selves. In particular, the scene would've had 2014 Cap getting ''decapitated'' by Thanos, whose head would've been presented to 2023 Cap to mock him with. This was fortunately left out, but this Thanos escalated the plans of the older one much further (destroy ''100%'' of life and the universe, remake it with him as a god) to make up for this.
** One version had the unsnapped Avengers going to the Avengers compound after returning, then the movie would cut to five minutes later and they'd all be eating pizza. [=McFeely=] referred to this scene as "terrible".
** According to Kevin Feige, one of the scrapped ideas for this movie would've had the Avengers return from the Time Heist, only to find that 2014 Thanos had overtaken 2023 Earth, sitting on a throne of skulls while waiting for them.
** Howard the Duck [[https://www.comicbookmovie.com/avengers/avengers_endgame/avengers-endgame-directors-on-deleted-scenes-quicksilver-rumors-why-bucky-isnt-captain-america-more-a168216?cp=6 wasn't intended]] to be featured in the film at all. However, one month ahead the film's release, while checking the finished footage of the Battle of Earth in VFX, the Russo Brothers opined that it would be great to add Howard in the scene and their request was complied.
** After filming on Tony Stark's funeral concluded, it was [[https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/avengers-endgame-13-things-we-learned-from-kevin-feige-in-exclusive-live-spoiler-qa/ considered]] to digitally add Cassie Lang on the scene to accompany her father, but as Kevin Feige realized, most of the attendants of the funeral had to be Tony's fellow heroes, so Cassie's inclusion was scrapped despite the presence of the Barton family and Harley Keener.
** According to Sean Gunn, [[https://bgr.com/2019/08/23/avengers-endgame-final-battle-cut-scene/ an entire battle in the sky]] was shot as part of the final battle, and would've featured Kraglin wearing (but not using) a fin with a Yakka arrow similar to the one Yondu had in both ''Franchise/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' movies (which he had been practicing within a scene of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' after Peter gifted him it before the credits). Kraglin can also be seen with all the Avengers on the ground pre-green screening (he's right behind Hope in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G61QhQjsvpw this]] video), but he's digitally replaced by Groot in the movie proper.[[note]]Sean Gunn, who plays Kraglin, had previously stood in for Groot for his first scene as a teenager, a credits scene in ''Vol 2'', but normally stands in for ''Rocket'' on set.[[/note]]
** If the concept art is to be believed, there were plans to have the Hulk rematch Thanos in this film, dealing a significant uppercut to him at one point.
** [[https://www.businessinsider.com/avengers-endgame-cut-black-panther-fight-scene-2019-11 Jeff Ford revealed]] that Black Panther and Ebony Maw were originally going to have a longer battle with each other, rather than the brief scuffle they had in the final battle. It was ultimately reduced to what it was as to flow better towards the final confrontation between Tony and Thanos.
** The artbook reveals a scrapped sequence detailing an alternate death for 2014 Nebula. Instead, 2014 Nebula would've managed to take the Gauntlet during the final battle and attempted to use it to impress her father, as a nod to her status as the TrueFinalBoss in the original comic. However, she would've been unable to withstand the Stones' power and is killed by them, foreshadowing Tony's own death.
** Concept art shows that Nakia was supposed to be part of the AmazonBrigade charge during the final battle.
** Apparently, Ant-Man was supposed to take on a more proactive role during the final battle, as opposed to taking on a single Leviathan and then being relegated to getting the van running, concept art shows he would've been summoning ''giant ants'' to act as biological {{Humongous Mecha}}s for the heroes to ride upon, with one particular piece of art depicting Rocket, Groot and Doctor Strange using one as an impromptu tank, and another showing him using the giant ants to take down a Leviathan.[[note]]He briefly pops out of his hiding place working with Hope on the time portal during the battle, but in his brief moment does not do any of the above.[[/note]]
** A reunion between the respective duos of Rocket and Groot, Tony and Pepper, and Hope and Scott involving them giving each other hugs was cut.
** Concept art reveals that Ant-Man, Hulk and Spider-Man were supposed to team up to invoke a FastballSpecial. Similarly, Peter Quill and Captain America are shown fighting back-to-back, and Groot, Rocket and Spider-Man were supposed to use Spidey's webs and Groot's vines to slingshot Rocket towards the enemy. Hulk and Black Panther were planned to have a similar team-up to [[https://comicbook.com/movies/2019/11/26/avengers-endgame-cut-an-epic-black-panther-and-hulk-team-up-scen/ take down a Leviathan]].
** Rather than simply being broken in half, Thanos was supposed to ''shatter'' Cap's entire shield.
** Another piece of art displays Miek dueling a Chitauri soldier, implying he would've been more than a background character during the final battle.
** The old Steve Rogers seen at the end of the movie was initially going to be portrayed [[https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/anthony-mackie-old-man-cap-avengers-endgame by an actual old man]], rather than Chris Evans under heavy makeup and VFX. After cycling through three other actors however, it was decided that no one could look like an elder Chris Evans than the man himself, so they scrapped this idea.
** A [[TheStinger Stinger]] showing Wanda visiting Vision's dead body in a mortuary drawer was planned as a lead-in for ''Series/WandaVision'', but it was dropped by Kevin Feige. This idea would be repurposed for use in the show itself, albeit with Wanda saying goodbye to Vision at S.W.O.R.D headquarters instead.
** In fact, early drafts of ''Endgame'' had Wanda survive the Snap and participate more substantially in the Time Heist, while still mourning Vision, but this angle was ultimately dropped because the writers felt that Wanda had gotten enough mileage and story in the ''Infinity War'' that giving her something that matched up to that in ''Endgame'' was a real challenge.
** War Machine originally carried his suit in a giant floating cube while travelling through time.
** The Ancient One was initially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjbZHCEsiTI much more relaxed]] during her encounter with Hulk in 2012. In particular, she is seen wearing a big pair of CoolShades [[WhileRomeBurns and drinking orange juice rather than defending the Sanctum from the Chitauri]], and is more open to discussing the Time Stone with Bruce.
** With the release of the ''Marvel Studios: Assembled'' episode documenting the production of ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If...?]]'', an unused storyboard showed that [[https://twitter.com/wandaskory/status/1453723550079090691?t=wgU4U-WN3YPc1qZUPuzGTQ&s=19 Wanda was originally going to start her fight with Thanos]] by [[GrievousHarmWithABody throwing his own forces at him]] instead of large chunks of debris.
** Though Creator/JohnSlattery was digitally de-aged to reprise his role as Howard Stark during the 1970s sequence, Creator/DominicCooper had previously expressed interest in reprising his role as the younger Howard, noting he would've loved to interact with Tony at some point.
** Thor leaving Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy wasn't part of the original script, and was only added in during the editing phase.

** It was executive producer Trinh Tran's [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/movies/avengers-endgame-questions-and-answers.html idea]] to kill off Thanos early in the film, assuring the writers that having accomplished his goal to decimate half life in the universe, Thanos had no longer a purpose in life and could die satisfied. [[spoiler:To ensure the movie still had a BigBad for the climax, the Time Heist brought Thanos from the time of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' forward.]]
** Initial versions of the film [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/movies/avengers-endgame-questions-and-answers.html had more]] memorials like the Wall of the Vanished in San Francisco erected in every city of the world.
** Before showing Captain America's support group, [[https://twitter.com/Avengers/status/1157470015139930112 there were some shots]] filmed on Central Park to show that the Snap also wiped out half of all plant life, depicting Central Park lacking fifty percent of its trees, as confirmed by WordOfGod back during ''Infinity War'' in regards to plant and animal life. Even though that idea is contradicted by ''Infinity War'', as clearly shown when none of the grass or trees in Wakanda dusted.
** [[https://comicbook.com/marvel/2019/10/24/war-machine-avengers-endgame-president-marvel-series/ In one draft]], Rhodey would have become Vice President of the United States after the time skip. This was scrapped because, according to co-writer Christopher Markus, "it didn't have any story weight".
** The Time Heist [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/movies/avengers-endgame-questions-and-answers.html suffered many variations]] during the film's development:
*** The first draft of the script had the characters avoid going back to the events of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' and included Iron Man going with Thor and Rocket to Asgard to collect the Tesseract from Odin's vault (and getting into a fight with Heimdall in the process as the latter would have localized him with his enhanced senses).
*** When Iron Man and Ant-Man plan to retrieve the Tesseract from the 2012 Avengers, there were plans to feature either Nick Fury or Maria Hill as the one to ask the Avengers to deliver both Loki and the Tesseract. When Creator/RobertRedford announced his plans to retire after starring on ''Film/TheOldManAndTheGun'', they opted to ask him to reprise the role of Alexander Pierce once more, shooting his appearance in one day -- his very last one as an actor, other than the version of himself depicted as the President in ''Series/{{Watchmen|2019}}''.
*** There were plans for the present day Thor to fight his slimmer, more muscular self from ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' during the Asgard sequence, but that battle was dropped in favor of the similar fight between Captain America and his 2012-era self.
*** Jane Foster was originally going to play the role of the person who pep-talks Thor out of his funk since Creator/NataliePortman was willing to return now, but it was ultimately decided that it would make more sense to give that role to Frigga, since being Thor's mother and it being the point in time where she was to die makes her playing this role much more emotional (which lead to Jane's only scenes in the final film being archived footage from ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''). A scene featuring a conversation between Jane and Rocket was apparently filmed but cut. Though in terms of a major role, Portman was later confirmed to return for ''Thor: Love and Thunder''.
*** A heist in the Triskelion to get the Tesseract and raiding Doctor Strange's apartment, long before the events of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' and ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'', was also considered, back when the writers were hesitant about revisiting ''The Avengers'' but ultimately made logical sense to do it at that point, and also in terms of audience familiarity, leading to their attempt to take the Tesseract directly from SHIELD instead, and Hulk running into the Ancient One (as she had not died yet at the time) to get the Time Stone from her.
*** The first draft of the script had the Avengers retrieving the Power Stone from Morag long before the events of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'', back when Morag was actually flooded, as Creator/JamesGunn had previously stated in the audio commentary of ''Guardians'' that Morag is entirely covered by oceans and the water lowers every three hundred years. Anthony Russo [[https://www.comicbookmovie.com/avengers/avengers_endgame/avengers-endgame-directors-on-deleted-scenes-quicksilver-rumors-why-bucky-isnt-captain-america-more-a168216?cp=11 later noted]] that early on, the sequence may have involved the presence of a "giant sea eel". Instead War Machine and Nebula visited Morag during the opening of ''Guardians'', even knocking out Star-Lord.
*** According to the film's DVDCommentary, Peggy Carter was not featured in the Camp Lehigh sequence when Captain America and Iron Man traveled back to the 1970s in the first draft of the film, but Christopher Markus and Stephen [=McFeely=] ultimately opted to include her as her inclusion was lovely.
*** [[https://www.cbr.com/marcus-mcfeely-avengers-endgame-sdcc-2019/ One version]] had Captain America as the one to go to Vormir, forcing him and Red Skull to collaborate together so the former could obtain the Soul Stone.
*** The scene at Vormir was originally was going to be much more action-packed, with Thanos and his army attacking Natasha and Clint partway through. The deleted footage officially released shows the mountain being suddenly attacked by Sakarran Necrocraft, with the two being caught in a losing battle with Thanos' soldiers. Natasha is mortally wounded in the process, and eventually jumps in order to save Clint as Thanos approaches him. This was scrapped in favor of making the scene much more emotional and personal, with Natasha choosing to jump herself as opposed to being under duress.
** The Dark Elves from ''The Dark World'' [[https://www.slashfilm.com/thanoss-army-dark-elves/ almost returned]] as part of Thanos's army.
** At one point, Christopher Markus and Stephen [=McFeely=] [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/movies/avengers-endgame-questions-and-answers.html considered]] having Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne participate in the final battle with their old Ant-Man and Wasp suits. It was scrapped because they feared that their presence would've made the battle a "character orgy".
** [[http://epicstream.com/news/NicoParungo/Avengers-Endgames-Final-Battle-Was-Going-to-be-Longer-and-Worse?utm_content=buffer366f9&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=epicbuffer&fbclid=IwAR2KqTcuACvh8aDvcdtgl4lu7X2BiLzkzm3CifMh18iOpYKuVK7dvhpWnHI The final battle was originally going to be longer]], with many characters grouping in a "trench" to discuss their battle plan. It ultimately didn't go through since it didn't feel genuine. The scene was still filmed and included as an extra for the film on Creator/DisneyPlus.
** Originally, Bucky Barnes was going to receive the shield from an older Steve Rogers and become the new Captain America, but it was rejected by Markus since he felt that Steve did not think that Bucky was idealistic enough to carry on the mantle.
** There were plans to include the Living Tribunal but was vetoed by Marvel. The Russo Brothers felt that in retrospect, it would not have made sense for him to appear out of nowhere.
** Katherine Langford was cast as an older version of Morgan Stark, who would've spoken to Tony in the Soul Stone just before his death, mirroring the scene where Thanos briefly spoke with a child version of Gamora at the end of ''Infinity War''. [[DeletedRole The scene was deleted]] after test audiences found it confusing.
** In one draft, after discovering the Avenger's plan, past-Thanos traveled to his Earth and wiped it out, along with its Avengers, before traveling to the present day and taunting the present-Avengers with the bodies of their past-selves. In particular, the scene would've had 2014 Cap getting ''decapitated'' by Thanos, whose head would've been presented to 2023 Cap to mock him with. This was fortunately left out, but this Thanos escalated the plans of the older one much further (destroy ''100%'' of life and the universe, remake it with him as a god) to make up for this.
** One version had the unsnapped Avengers going to the Avengers compound after returning, then the movie would cut to five minutes later and they'd all be eating pizza. [=McFeely=] referred to this scene as "terrible".
** According to Kevin Feige, one of the scrapped ideas for this movie would've had the Avengers return from the Time Heist, only to find that 2014 Thanos had overtaken 2023 Earth, sitting on a throne of skulls while waiting for them.
** Howard the Duck [[https://www.comicbookmovie.com/avengers/avengers_endgame/avengers-endgame-directors-on-deleted-scenes-quicksilver-rumors-why-bucky-isnt-captain-america-more-a168216?cp=6 wasn't intended]] to be featured in the film at all. However, one month ahead the film's release, while checking the finished footage of the Battle of Earth in VFX, the Russo Brothers opined that it would be great to add Howard in the scene and their request was complied.
** After filming on Tony Stark's funeral concluded, it was [[https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/avengers-endgame-13-things-we-learned-from-kevin-feige-in-exclusive-live-spoiler-qa/ considered]] to digitally add Cassie Lang on the scene to accompany her father, but as Kevin Feige realized, most of the attendants of the funeral had to be Tony's fellow heroes, so Cassie's inclusion was scrapped despite the presence of the Barton family and Harley Keener.
** According to Sean Gunn, [[https://bgr.com/2019/08/23/avengers-endgame-final-battle-cut-scene/ an entire battle in the sky]] was shot as part of the final battle, and would've featured Kraglin wearing (but not using) a fin with a Yakka arrow similar to the one Yondu had in both ''Franchise/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' movies (which he had been practicing within a scene of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' after Peter gifted him it before the credits). Kraglin can also be seen with all the Avengers on the ground pre-green screening (he's right behind Hope in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G61QhQjsvpw this]] video), but he's digitally replaced by Groot in the movie proper.[[note]]Sean Gunn, who plays Kraglin, had previously stood in for Groot for his first scene as a teenager, a credits scene in ''Vol 2'', but normally stands in for ''Rocket'' on set.[[/note]]
** If the concept art is to be believed, there were plans to have the Hulk rematch Thanos in this film, dealing a significant uppercut to him at one point.
** [[https://www.businessinsider.com/avengers-endgame-cut-black-panther-fight-scene-2019-11 Jeff Ford revealed]] that Black Panther and Ebony Maw were originally going to have a longer battle with each other, rather than the brief scuffle they had in the final battle. It was ultimately reduced to what it was as to flow better towards the final confrontation between Tony and Thanos.
** The artbook reveals a scrapped sequence detailing an alternate death for 2014 Nebula. Instead, 2014 Nebula would've managed to take the Gauntlet during the final battle and attempted to use it to impress her father, as a nod to her status as the TrueFinalBoss in the original comic. However, she would've been unable to withstand the Stones' power and is killed by them, foreshadowing Tony's own death.
** Concept art shows that Nakia was supposed to be part of the AmazonBrigade charge during the final battle.
** Apparently, Ant-Man was supposed to take on a more proactive role during the final battle, as opposed to taking on a single Leviathan and then being relegated to getting the van running, concept art shows he would've been summoning ''giant ants'' to act as biological {{Humongous Mecha}}s for the heroes to ride upon, with one particular piece of art depicting Rocket, Groot and Doctor Strange using one as an impromptu tank, and another showing him using the giant ants to take down a Leviathan.[[note]]He briefly pops out of his hiding place working with Hope on the time portal during the battle, but in his brief moment does not do any of the above.[[/note]]
** A reunion between the respective duos of Rocket and Groot, Tony and Pepper, and Hope and Scott involving them giving each other hugs was cut.
** Concept art reveals that Ant-Man, Hulk and Spider-Man were supposed to team up to invoke a FastballSpecial. Similarly, Peter Quill and Captain America are shown fighting back-to-back, and Groot, Rocket and Spider-Man were supposed to use Spidey's webs and Groot's vines to slingshot Rocket towards the enemy. Hulk and Black Panther were planned to have a similar team-up to [[https://comicbook.com/movies/2019/11/26/avengers-endgame-cut-an-epic-black-panther-and-hulk-team-up-scen/ take down a Leviathan]].
** Rather than simply being broken in half, Thanos was supposed to ''shatter'' Cap's entire shield.
** Another piece of art displays Miek dueling a Chitauri soldier, implying he would've been more than a background character during the final battle.
** The old Steve Rogers seen at the end of the movie was initially going to be portrayed [[https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/anthony-mackie-old-man-cap-avengers-endgame by an actual old man]], rather than Chris Evans under heavy makeup and VFX. After cycling through three other actors however, it was decided that no one could look like an elder Chris Evans than the man himself, so they scrapped this idea.
** A [[TheStinger Stinger]] showing Wanda visiting Vision's dead body in a mortuary drawer was planned as a lead-in for ''Series/WandaVision'', but it was dropped by Kevin Feige. This idea would be repurposed for use in the show itself, albeit with Wanda saying goodbye to Vision at S.W.O.R.D headquarters instead.
** In fact, early drafts of ''Endgame'' had Wanda survive the Snap and participate more substantially in the Time Heist, while still mourning Vision, but this angle was ultimately dropped because the writers felt that Wanda had gotten enough mileage and story in the ''Infinity War'' that giving her something that matched up to that in ''Endgame'' was a real challenge.
** War Machine originally carried his suit in a giant floating cube while travelling through time.
** The Ancient One was initially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjbZHCEsiTI much more relaxed]] during her encounter with Hulk in 2012. In particular, she is seen wearing a big pair of CoolShades [[WhileRomeBurns and drinking orange juice rather than defending the Sanctum from the Chitauri]], and is more open to discussing the Time Stone with Bruce.
** With the release of the ''Marvel Studios: Assembled'' episode documenting the production of ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If...?]]'', an unused storyboard showed that [[https://twitter.com/wandaskory/status/1453723550079090691?t=wgU4U-WN3YPc1qZUPuzGTQ&s=19 Wanda was originally going to start her fight with Thanos]] by [[GrievousHarmWithABody throwing his own forces at him]] instead of large chunks of debris.
** Though Creator/JohnSlattery was digitally de-aged to reprise his role as Howard Stark during the 1970s sequence, Creator/DominicCooper had previously expressed interest in reprising his role as the younger Howard, noting he would've loved to interact with Tony at some point.

* InspirationForTheWork: Producer Creator/KevinFeige mentioned the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E24AllGoodThings All Good Things...]]" as a key influence for this film. Given that the movie revisits key points in time during the events of other movies, it's not difficult to spot the episode's influence, since an element of that episode sent the story back to just before the events of the pilot episode.

** Though it wasn't as widespread as the above, the news that ''Endgame'' would feature a five-year TimeSkip was correctly guessed based on what little information that was given. Furthermore, the fact that it's ''permanent'' is another theory that became true.
** Way back in "Thor's hammer" scene in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', many people suspected Steve could actually lift Thor's hammer and was merely pretending not to.[[note]]Alternatively, it's been theorized that Steve was not yet fully worthy to wield it because he was hiding from Tony that Howard and Maria Stark were killed by the Winter Soldier.[[/note]] As we find out, they were right in the most awesome way possible. Said word-for-word by Thor when it happens.
** When the Russos refused to confirm whether or not Jane Foster had survived the snap back in 2018, claiming that it might be a spoiler, some fans theorized that this meant Jane would have a cameo in ''Endgame''. The theory picked up more steam when Creator/NataliePortman unexpectedly showed up at the movie's premiere. In the actual movie, Jane does indeed make an appearance when Thor and Rocket time travel back to Asgard during the events of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', made up of both archive footage from that movie and some new dialogue that Portman recorded herself. The screenwriters said in an interview that Jane originally was slated to do more, but that role was given to Frigga instead since it was decidedly more emotional that way, plus (as it was revealed shortly after) there was already a movie with a bigger role for Portman in the works anyway. However, Jane's fate regarding the Snap didn't actually end up playing into her role in ''Endgame'', since the Jane we see in the movie is from a time before the Snap happens.
** After an offhand comment in ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'' established the existence of time vortexes in the Quantum Realm, many fans guessed that they would be used to undo the snap somehow. While they didn't end up doing it directly as most theories assumed, they were instrumental in retrieving past versions of the Infinity Stones to handle the job.
** Many felt that Bruce and Hulk's arc in ''Infinity War'' was building towards Professor/Smart Hulk.
** It was believed ever since ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' that Creator/GwynethPaltrow's return as Pepper meant that she would become Rescue in either of the following ''Avengers'' films.

** A lot of people think the time travel in this movie only creates alternate timelines due to the Infinity Stones being taken out of the past and being brought to the future. However, this isn't true. The movie established that going back in time and changing the past ''at all'' results in alternate timelines. However, the film has Bruce Banner explain it in a very confusing way if you don't pay ''very'' close attention to what he's saying and there's no visual elements to go with his words or a proper dumbing down of things to properly explain things to the audience, or even the characters, as they just seem to get it. Not to mention that where the movie ''does'' give a visual to help explain how something works is during the Ancient One's explanation of how removing the Infinity Stones from the universe will bring about catastrophic consequences for them, so people can (and have) easily mix up these things as being connected.
** Then there's also the way Captain America goes back to the 40s to live out his life with Peggy and people believing it's part of a timeloop. Due to the production teams and writers never explaining who Peggy's husband is, as well as never ''showing'' who her husband is, this also gets muddied. It was actually stated to be fully intentional by them, as they set it up as far back as ''Civil War,'' as well as even the directors and writers disagreeing how the time travel works in the movie. To be fair, the movie never states if Steve traveling back ''is'' a part of a timeloop or not, but context clues would lead you to think it might be. However, due to how the time travel works in other instances, it ''has'' to be that he created an alternate timeline by replacing Peggy's husband, not to mention how problematic it would be for him not being proactive and preventing some of the things he knew about from happening since he knew he'd be creating an alternate timeline by going back anyways.

** Then there's also the way Captain America goes back to the 40s to live out his life with Peggy and people believing it's part of a timeloop. Due to the production teams and writers never explaining who Peggy's husband is, as well as never ''showing'' who her husband is, this also gets muddied. It was actually stated to be fully intentional by them, as they set it up as far back as ''Civil War,'' as well as even the directors and writers disagreeing how the time travel works in the movie. To be fair, the movie never states if Steve traveling back ''is'' a part of a timeloop or not, but context clues would lead you to think it might be. However, due to how the time travel works in other instances, it ''has'' to be that he created an alternate timeline by replacing Peggy's husband, not to mention how problematic it would be for him not being proactive and preventing some of the things he knew about from happening since he knew he'd be creating an alternate timeline anyways.

** A lot of people think the time travel in this movie only creates alternate timelines due to the Infinity Stones being taken out of the past and being brought to the future. However, this isn't true. The movie established that going back in time and changing the past ''at all'' results in alternate timelines. However, the film has Bruce Banner explain it in a very confusing way if you don't pay ''very'' close attention to what he's saying and there's no visual elements to go with his words or a proper dumbing down of things to properly explain things to the audience, or even the characters, as they just seem to get it. Not to mention that where the movie ''does'' give a visual to help explain how something works is during the Ancient One's explanation of how removing the Infinity Stones from the universe will bring about catastrophic consequences for them, so people can easily mix up these things as being connected.

** A lot of people think the time travel in this movie only creates alternate timelines due to the Infinity Stones being taken out of the past and being brought to the future.
