Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Avengers: Endgame, have clarified how Captain America returned to the present at the end of the movie.
With all the time travel woven into the very fabric of Endgame‘s plot, some members of the audience might not be entirely clear on how Captain America was able to return to the present at the movie’s end, especially as he was just sitting there in his civilian clothes.
Well, directors Anthony and Joe Russo have tried to clear up a few of the details. Participating in a recent Reddit AMA (via ComicBook.com), they responded to a fan who asked what happened to Cap’s quantum suit:
“You are correct in that he would have had to have worn the quantum suit, using a pym particle to make the jump. He’s not wearing the suit on the bench, because that is not the exact moment to which he returned.”
