One aspect of Avengers: Endgame that packed a heart-rending punch was the line little Morgan Stark told her father, Tony, early on in the film, and the same one he repeated back to her at the end: "I love you 3,000." After much fan speculation, we finally know the true origins of the phrase.

In the battle against Thanos, the day was ultimately won by a tiny, unlikely hero. No, not that one, but you're close. Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo let slip during an interview the true hero of the film, and if you're anything like us, his revelation had already crossed your mind.
Most everyone who has ever been part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far gave another piece of themselves to Avengers: Endgame. One star, however, put hardly any effort into their role in the epic superhero assemblage. Here's the actor who didn't even film any new footage for Endgame.
The Suicide Squad has snagged a new dude. David Dastmalchian, known for playing Scott Lang's hacker friend Kurt in Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp, recently inked a deal to join the James Gunn-directed sequel-slash-reboot to the original Suicide Squad from 2016. Here's who he's set to play.
Another legacy Marvel character may be about to come bubbling to the surface of the MCU.
