"Avengers 4" ending, why is it that Iron Man died instead of Captain America?

In Marvel movies, Captain America has always been the incarnation of justice. He always stands up when people need him. In "Reunion 4: The Endgame", the battle between Team America and Thanos is thrilling. , Iron Man and Thor fell one after another, the US team came forward and summoned Thor’s Hammer to temporarily fight Thanos. I originally thought that the US team would die. After all, the strength of the two sides is too great, even if they die at this moment. Also in line with the plot trend.

Facts have proved that the person who sacrificed to save the universe was not the US team. Iron Man became the superhero that ended all of this. The US team ended up getting old with Peggy Carter. Tony and Steve are the souls of the entire Avengers. After "Avengers 4", the Marvel Cinematic Universe lost two of the most prestigious superheroes.

In "Reunion 4", the endings of the US team and Iron Man are very different. Why is it that Iron Man died instead of Captain America?

Long before the release of "Avengers 4", fans made a prediction on the plot of "Avengers 4". Captain America ranked first with a 100% probability of death, because the director had already spoken before the movie was released, " "Avengers 4" will definitely have some sacrifices, fans hardly need to think about it, the US team is a mortal character. Iron Man ranks second with a 50% probability of death. As for Black Widow, fans think she is the most unlikely character to sacrifice.

The result of "Avengers 4" was shocking. Iron Man and Black Widow died, and the US team did not die.

Recently, the screenwriter of "Reunion 4" explained in detail in an interview that the US team did not have the real cause of death.

"During the filming process, we realized that the relationship between the US team and Iron Man had a turning point. At the beginning, the US team was completely selfless. From "The US Team 2" and "The US Team 3", it became selfish. It’s not really selfish. It’s mainly because the American team will make decisions according to their own wishes, which will directly lead to the division of the Avengers. Iron Man’s situation is just the opposite of that of the American team. At first, he was an arrogant playboy and billionaire. Millionaires and arms dealers, as he became a superhero, Iron Man’s responsibilities became greater and greater. Therefore, as early as 2015, when we were writing the script, we realized that we must let the US team do the real Himself, he has never lived for himself in his entire life, and his ending must have his own life. And Tony’s ending is a heroic ending. As long as the hero lives, he must assume the responsibility of protecting the world, only to die. Can really stop."

This is why Captain America could not die in "Avengers 4". Marvel movies are famous for this narrative method. The American team was willing to dedicate his life to his career at the beginning. Tony is only interested in his most powerful things. It took ten years for

. The two protagonists of the reunion series are based on each other’s past. The US team lives more and more like Iron Man, and Iron Man’s The ending is more like the US team.

Let the US team put down their shields, spend a lifetime with Peggy, and grow old. This is the best ending for the US team!
