- A deleted scene from Avengers: Endgame, available on Disney+, reveals a crucial detail about the villain Thanos's destructive snap.
- In the alternate clip, the Ancient One explains to Hulk that Thanos “willed people out of existence” rather than killing them, which enabled their eventual resurrection.
- This distinction clarifies why characters who died, such as Black Widow, could not be brought back, while those “willed out of existence” could.
- The revelation implies that Thanos himself, having been similarly “willed out of existence” by Tony Stark, could theoretically be resurrected in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- While Thanos is not expected in the forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday, the scene provides a narrative pathway for Marvel to bring him back in future storylines if desired.
