16 Intriguing Details From The MCU That Are Super Delicate

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a huge achievement, not only in terms of spectacular VFX and heart-pounding action, but also in terms of the amount of detail that has gone into the storyline. Beginning with Iron Man in 2008, Marvel began sowing seeds that would bear fruit in future films. In Avengers: Endgame, for example, it took eight years for Steve Rogers to finally get his dance with Peggy.
We may see Tony Stark nursing or favoring his left arm throughout the series, which has suffered several injuries in prior chapters like as Captain America: Civil War. Some continuity aspects are amusing and subtle, such as the fact that in Avengers: Endgame, Thor only needs to use eye drops in one eye because he lost the other in Thor: Ragnarok!

By rescuing Antonia Dreykov from her father's enslavement, Natasha manages to wipe a little of the red from her ledger.
Said director Cate Shortland:
What's great in the film is, you see that [Natasha] physically has to face what she's done.It's not a fragment [of that]. It's real. And so she's really facing her worst nightmare. I almost see Taskmaster as being her psyche, 'This is what I've done, and it's coming back to get me.' The androgyny of the character is really interesting.
