So you would be forgiven for forgetting the plot details of that particular Avengers sequel. But perhaps you have some vague memory of Scarlet Witch using her powers to show several of the [Avengers](http://time.com/5578697/whos-in-the-avengers-now/ "undefined") visions, with Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and Black Widow all seeing nightmarish scenes. (Scarlet Witch does not manipulate Hawkeye, and though she does mess with Hulk’s mind, audiences never see his vision.) It turns out those visions were pretty good indicators of what was to come: Each of the superhero’s visions has come true by the end of [_Avengers: Endgame_](http://time.com/5578234/avengers-endgame-post-credits-scene/ "undefined"). Here is each character’s vision and how some version of it came to pass. ## Thor In _Age of Ultron_, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) watches as many of his fellow Asgardians die. Heimdall (Idris Elba) tells Thor during the vision that “we are all dead” and that the God of Thunder “is a destroyer” who will “lead his people to hell.” In a way this is true: Thor fights Hela ([Cate Blanchett](http://time.com/4733000/hela-marvel-cate-blanchett-thor-ragnarok/ "undefined")), the Goddess of Death, in _Thor: Ragnarok._ She rules over hell, and her name even sounds like hell. In that movie, Thor decides to sacrifice Asgard to her, while escaping with its people. So yes, he literally does destroy Asgard by surrendering it to a woman who represents death. **READ MORE:** [How to Stream Every Single Marvel Movie](http://time.com/5558114/marvel-movies-how-to-watch/ "undefined") But Thor also fails to save many Asgardians from Thanos (Josh Brolin), who boards Thor’s escape ship and kills Heimdall and others in _Avengers: Infinity War_. During _Endgame_, Thor says that he blames himself for failing to stop so many deaths, as if he killed his fellow Asgardians himself. ## Captain America Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) imagines himself back in time, at the end of World War II, dancing with his old flame, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). Peggy tells Steve that the war is over now, and they can go home. At the time, fans assumed that Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) was showing Steve the life he could have had. But in _Avengers: Endgame_, Steve does [achieve that life](http://time.com/5577454/avengers-endgame-deaths/ "undefined"). He travels back in time and lives a quiet, happy life with Peggy. _Avengers: Endgame_ movie ends with Steve and Peggy dancing cheek-to-cheek in their house — the same way they were dancing in Captain America’s vision from _Ultron_. ## Iron Man Tony Stark (Robert Downy Jr.) initially thinks he’s having a flashback to the Battle of New York in the _Avengers_ when he sees the aliens that Loki (Tom Hiddleston) used to help him invade Earth. He also sees Black Widow, Thor and Captain America — his shield broken in pieces — lying on the ground. The camera pulls back and we see that the heroes are lying on a planet or asteroid as aliens head toward Earth. Tony goes to check Cap’s pulse, and Cap wakes up. He asks Tony why he didn’t do more to save them. **READ MORE:** [Breaking Down Every Single Marvel Post-Credits Scene](http://time.com/5516692/marvel-post-credit-scenes-breakdown "undefined") At first the vision seems like Tony’s post-Battle of New York PTSD at work. But in fact, his vision is of possible future events. Remember, in _Avengers: Infinity War_, Doctor Strange looks at [millions of possible futures](http://time.com/5473729/avengers-endgame-trailer-questions/ "undefined"). Perhaps Tony is seeing some of those. Tony loses the fight against Thanos on a foreign planet at the end of _Infinity War_, and Thanos escapes to Earth, much like in Tony’s vision. The vision could also be of a version of the Avengers’ fight against Thanos at the end of _Endgame_. Thanos also uses the same aliens to invade Earth in _Endgame_ that Loki used in _Avengers_. And Captain America’s shield does, indeed, break during that fight with Thanos on Earth. In this version of events, Tony does not sacrifice himself to save the world, so his friends die. Maybe that’s how Tony knew that he had to die in order to save everyone at the end of _Endgame_. ## Black Widow Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson) doesn’t see a version of the future, but rather her past. She sees herself in what appears to be a ballet school, but is actually a training program for assassins in Russia. In a way, though, this will be Black Widow’s future. Black Widow dies halfway through _Avengers: Endgame_, sacrificing herself in order to attain the Soul Stone for the Avengers. But Marvel has announced that a [Black Widow prequel](http://time.com/5167535/upcoming-marvel-movies/ "undefined") movie is coming to the big screen, and Black Widow’s past as a Russian spy will likely be a part of that story. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5576547/avengers-age-of-ultron-endgame-spoiler/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5576547/avengers-age-of-ultron-endgame-spoiler/"},"headline":"Turns Out Avengers: Age of Ultron Had Major Endgame Spoilers All Along","datePublished":"2019-04-26T13:59:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T23:22:22.129Z","description":"Scarlet Witch shows Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and Black Widow dreams in Avengers: Age of Ultron that come to pass in Avengers: Endgame","url":"https://time.com/5576547/avengers-age-of-ultron-endgame-spoiler/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb9aa242e834cc59b/6987ed692dce010d869e18dc/captain-america-avengers-chris-evans.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb9aa242e834cc59b/6987ed692dce010d869e18dc/captain-america-avengers-chris-evans.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"This photo provided by Disney/Marvel shows, Chris Evans, left, as Captain America/Steve Rogers, and Chris Hemsworth as Thor, in the new film, \"Avengers: Age Of Ultron.\"","caption":"This photo provided by Disney/Marvel shows, Chris Evans, left, as Captain America/Steve Rogers, and Chris Hemsworth as Thor, in the new film, \"Avengers: Age Of Ultron.\"","creditText":"Jay Maidment—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5576547/avengers-age-of-ultron-endgame-spoiler/","name":"Turns Out Avengers: Age of Ultron Had Major Endgame Spoilers All Along"}}]}] ```
