Don’t tell us you didn’t see this coming. Avengers: Endgame seems to be just weeks away from becoming the highest-grossing film of all time or at least a strong contender to Avatar‘s still 2009 undefeated record of $2.79 billion. Marvel’s epic conclusion to the “Infinity Saga” made $156.7 million at the North American box office on Friday, smashing the record set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($119 million. The film has already grossed $634.7 million worldwide.
Avengers: Endgame concludes what Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige dubbed as ‘The Infinity Saga’ or what we’ve seen as Thanos’ secret quest for the powerful Infinity Stones. This Saga heavily featured characters like Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America and Avengers: Endgame wraps the stories which started with Iron Man way back in 2008. The film isn’t expected to tease much about the immediate future of the MCU, although not every character will have a definitive ending and will probably be around for Phase 4 of the MCU or other Marvel-related projects.
