Avengers: Endgame Hides This Dark Easter Egg About Captain America That Almost Nobody Notices

Avengers: Endgame has been out for a while, yet there's no end to the subtle details you can find in the move including this dark tribute to Captain America

It's been almost a year since Avengers: Endgame released to theaters around the world.

There are hundreds of articles on the internet trying to summarize in words the many Easter eggs present in Avengers: Endgame, the great cinematic event that ended eleven years of the Marvel Universe in cinema. But it seems that there was a detail that escaped us all and that you have now discovered according to Screenrant, thanks to a deeper viewing of the film.

A little Avengers: Endgame tribute almost everybody missed

As the website explains, although in Endgame we see Steve Rogers give up the Captain America shield for the first time, in the comics it has already happened a few times and there have been different characters who have taken up the armor of The First Avenger.

Roscoe Simmons was an ill-fated Captain America in the comics

One of them was Roscoe Simmons, who received the shield from Rogers' own hands before Rogers became a Nomad. However, the joy did not last long, because Simmons only lasted two issues as Captain America since he was killed in issue #183 of the Captain America and Falcon comics called "Death of a Hero".

And how have the Russo Brothers paid tribute to this short-lived character? Well, with simple staging, if in the comics it is Roscoe who dresses up as Captain America, in Endgame it is Captain America/Steve Rogers who dresses up as Roscoe, more specifically when Steve Rogers and Tony Stark infiltrate the military base where he worked with the father of Iron Man.
