In "Avengers: Endgame," he wielded the Infinity Stones to defeat Thanos but succumbed to the immense power. Tony's sacrifice was a culmination of his growth from a self-centered genius to a selfless hero, saving the world and leaving behind a legacy that would forever be etched in the hearts of fans.

Captain America's Final Journey 

Steve Rogers, the First Avenger, played by Chris Evans, took on the mantle of Captain America. In "Avengers: Endgame," Steve went back in time to return the Infinity Stones, choosing to live a life with Peggy Carter and growing old. When he returned as an elderly man, he passed his iconic shield to Sam Wilson, signaling the end of his journey as Captain America. Steve's decision to embrace a peaceful life showcased his unyielding dedication to love, duty, and sacrifice.

Wanda and Vision's Heartrending Tale 

Wanda Maximoff and Vision shared a profound love story amidst their superhero duties. In "Avengers: Infinity War," Vision's life was threatened as Thanos sought the Mind Stone embedded in his forehead.
