Avengers: Endgame directors say that Captain America could have lifted Mjolnir back in Avengers: Age of Ultron

May 9, 2019 by Samuel Brace

Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Avengers: Endgame, have claimed that Captain America could have picked up Mjolnir back in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

There were many surprising scenes and sequences throughout Avengers: Endgame but one of the biggest was certainly Captain America picking up Thor’s hammer Mjolnir, proving that he was worthy to wield the mighty weapon.

But apparently, this was something that Cap could have done a long time ago as Joe and Anthony Russo have claimed that the character was only pretending he couldn’t pick up Mjolnir back in Age of Ultron. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, Anthony said:

“In our heads, he was able to wield it. He didn’t know that until that moment in Ultron when he tried to pick it up. But Cap’s sense of character and humility and, out of deference to Thor’s ego, Cap in that moment realizing he can move the hammer, decides not to.”

Of course, we don’t know if that was the intention at the time Age of Ultron was made but nonetheless, this will certainly provide a nice little layer to fan’s enjoyment when they go back and watch the film.

Avengers: Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Josh Brolin (Thanos), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Paul Rudd (Scott Lang), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Benedict Wong (Wong), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts), Evangeline Lilly (The Wasp), Letitia Wright (Shuri) and Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie).
