AVENGERS: ENDGAME Passes THE FORCE AWAKENS To Become 4th Highest-Grossing Film Ever Internationally

As Marvel's Avengers: Endgame continues to dominate the box office at home and overseas, the latest international numbers reveal that the superhero epic has now overtaken Star Wars: The Force Awakens...

Filed Under: Avengers: Endgame

Bolstered by the May Day bank holiday in quite a few locations, Avengers: Endgame managed to snap up another $157.8M at the international box office on Wednesday, bringing its offshore total to $1,211.8M.

This means that the Infinity Saga finale has now surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Furious 7 to become the 4th highest-grossing movie of all time internationally. With a global cume of $1,664.1M, Endgame sits at No. 6 on the all-time worldwide chart.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME Spoilers - A Detailed Breakdown Of All The Biggest Moments And Reveals
We're still waiting to see if the critically-acclaimed superhero adventure will be able to top Avatar as the highest-grossing movie ever, but it has already earned half of that film's total BO gross after just eight days on release. Add China's takings ($50M Thursday) to the pot, and Endgame looks set to reach the $2 billion milestone this weekend.

Tell us, did you expect Avengers: Endgame to perform this well? Drop us a comment down below, and be sure to check out our breakdown of the ways the movie (potentially) sets up the future of the MCU.

Simply click on the VIEW LIST (ONE PAGE) button below!

The Eternals

Although The Eternals are never directly referenced, Captain Marvel makes it very clear that what's happening on Earth after The Decimation is happening all across the universe, so one can't help but wonder if Carol's outer space adventures during the events of Endgame might somehow tie-in to the introduction of Marvel Studios' next cosmic super-team.

The Plot of The Eternals is still under wraps, but we do know that Sersi (Angelina Jolie, probably) likes to live among humans, so there's also a chance she was on Earth for "The Snap" and the aftermath.

Young Avengers

If Marvel does decide to introduce a younger incarnation of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, they already have a few options for the roster.

Hawkeye's daughter Lila seems pretty handy with a bow and arrow, and could always take over her father's mantle now that Clint Barton is (presumably) retired. Plus, Cassie Lang is now a teenager and might decide to suit-up as Stature at some point. More unlikely is Harley Keener - the kid from Iron Man 3 who shows up for Tony Stark's funeral at the end - who has been the source of Iron Lad speculation for years now.

Of course, there is also a more direct descendant of The Armored Avenger, but more on that later.

The New Asgardians

At the end of the movie, Thor leaves New Asgard in the capable hands of Queen Valkyrie. We know The God of Thunder will be jetting off with the Guardians, but surely we'll return to that little coastal town full of viking aliens at some point, right?

If not, it'd be a wasted opportunity, because the continuing adventures of Korg, Miek and the others is something that needs to be explored - if not on the big screen, then on the new Disney+ streaming service.

Black Widow

So, looks like that Black Widow movie is definitely gonna be a prequel!

Natasha Romanov meeting her end in Avengers: Endgame doesn't so much set up the character's solo film as it does confirm that the soon-to-shoot project will take place before the events of the Infinity Saga finale, and will most likely focus on Nat's days as a Russian spy/assassin.

There is some speculation that Widow could somehow be resurrected, but that seems highly unlikely and would seriously cheapen her noble sacrifice on Vormir.

Iron Man Girl

Okay, so Morgan Stark is far too young to even start thinking about the superhero gig, but if Marvel ever does decide to continue the solo Iron Man franchise, they do have the perfect person to take up the mantle of the Armored Avenger... in a few years, that is.

Of course, we also saw Pepper Potts suit-up as Rescue at the end of the movie - but Gwyneth Paltrow recently confirmed that she'd be leaving the MCU after Endgame, so her continuing on in her late husband's place seems unlikely.

Professor Hulk

Was this the last we'll see of Bruce Banner/The Hulk in The MCU?

While most of the other original Avengers' stories came to pretty definitive ends, Professor Hulk (Prulk?) is still active at the end of the movie. Granted, one arm seems severely damaged after using the Infinity Gauntlet, but one would assume that wouldn't keep The Green Goliath out of action for good.

Another solo Hulk movie remains very unlikely, but the fact that this version of the character is a fully CG creations definitely leaves room for him to return in some capacity, even if it's just for an occasional cameo appearance.

A-Force

We've been hearing whispers of a possible all-female Avengers movie for a while now, and Endgame definitely teases its potential.

During the final battle, Spider-Man asks Captain Marvel how she intends to fight her way through Thanos' minions with the Infinity Gauntlet, and every female hero on the field - including Valkyrie, Wanda, Wasp, Okoye, Mantis and more - comes to her aid.

To be honest, it's a bit of a clumsy sequence, but it might give us some idea of how an A-Force movie's roster would look should Marvel ever decide to move forward with one.

GOTG Vol. 3

The third Guardians of the Galaxy movie is still a few years off, but Endgame actually does a great job of setting up the plot.

After Stark's funeral, Thor joins his space-faring pals for some more intergalactic adventures and will, presumably, still be a part of the team by the time Vol. 3 comes our way. Plus, with the new (or should that be old?) Gamora MIA, Star-Lord and the others have the perfect mission to kick things off by tracking her down and convincing her to join the crew.

Captain America

At the very end of the film, Steve Rogers passes the mantle of Captain America to Sam Wilson, setting the stage for a brand new Sentinel of Liberty in The MCU. The question is, will Sam wield the shield on the big screen?

We know there's a Falcon and The Winter Soldier Disney+ series in the works (although that might takes place before the events of Endgame), but it would be a shame if we didn't see this new incarnation of the iconic hero make an impact in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well.

The New Avengers

Endgame may be the final installment in The Infinity Saga, but we know it's not going to be the last Avengers movie! It may take quite some time, but Marvel will put together a new team of Earth's Mightiest Heroes at some point, and many fans expected Endgame to give us an idea of which characters we'd see on the roster.

Unfortunately, things still seem a little up in the air on that front.

It's assumed that Captain Marvel and Black Panther will return in leadership roles, and they'll likely be joined by Ant-Man, The Wasp, Doctor Strange, Wanda, Rhodey, and hopefully our new Captain America. Bucky is also a possibility, as are supporting characters such as Shuri and Wong.

We'll just have to wait and see how Phase 4 develops.

@Redhood92 - You guys are using GIFs of him and now all I can think about is he is playing that horrible nightmare creation from Sonic Dreams that is Sonic '19

L0RDbuckethead - 5/2/2019, 10:46 AM

@pesmerga44 -

It's sad too, because look how easily it could've been fixed with a few changes to the eyes and legs:

@L0RDbuckethead - its like they wanted it to be like the cgi adaptation of woody wood pecker or Alvin and the chipmunks...

L0RDbuckethead - 5/2/2019, 11:06 AM

@TheRadioDemon - lol yeah he looks like an amalgam of Woody and Alvin.

@L0RDbuckethead - This redesign I found on Twitter is perfect IMO.

How difficult was this to do?

@dracula -

L0RDbuckethead - 5/2/2019, 12:19 PM

@DnA - Exactly. They made him look way too human and it 100% falls into that "uncanny valley" situation that people hate.

GoldGuy - 5/2/2019, 1:02 PM

@L0RDbuckethead - I knew the design would suck ever since the director claimed that SEGA didn't like Sonic's design. Total red flag.

bcom - 5/2/2019, 4:26 PM

@L0RDbuckethead - Apparently there has been so much public backlash regarding the look of Sonic in the Sonic the Hedgehog trailer that the studio have decided to redesign him to make him look more like he does in the game.

Not 100% certain if it's true or not but that's what a few other places are reporting.

L0RDbuckethead - 5/3/2019, 6:44 AM

@bcom - It's definitely true. The director himself said it on Twitter yesterday.

XelCorp - 5/2/2019, 10:22 AM

Hey Sif... wherever you are in the universe. Thanks for your help

PantherKing - 5/2/2019, 10:25 AM

@XelCorp - Sharon Carter was also missing. She should be the new femme fatale and they should introduce Yelena into the MCU too.

PantherKing - 5/2/2019, 10:23 AM

Crossing $1.7 billion tomorrow and crossing $2 billion this weekend

XelCorp - 5/2/2019, 10:30 AM

@PantherKing - bruh that scene was the first time you ever hear a loud ass thunder Crack when Thor calls his hammers. Beyond epic.

PantherKing - 5/2/2019, 10:34 AM

@XelCorp - It was epic. As soon as he stretched out his two arms I knew there was going to be an axe and hammer action. But nothing beats Cap standing alone vs Thanos’ army and the Avengers assemble scene.

RextheKing - 5/2/2019, 10:25 AM

I'm one to never say never, so on the chances of Endgame beating Avatar, I just kept my mouth shut. Before the film came out though, I was leaning towards a hard no. Beat Titanic? Yeah I could see, but Avatar not so much, but it's looking like a real possibility now. This film is surprising me in so many ways.

XelCorp - 5/2/2019, 10:25 AM

Tony: You’re a laboratory experiment Rogers... everything special about you came out of a bottle. (Endgame: *Steve Picks up the hammer*)

Steve: You’re not the one to make the sacrifice play.. to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you. (Endgame: *Tony uses the infinity stones*
