In Endgame, when Mjolnir started to rise, who did you think it was?

Provided you didn't see or read any spoilers, when you saw Mjolnir start to rise in the final battle did you just assume it was Thor or did you have a sneaking suspicion it might be Cap? I have read a lot of stories and watched a few videos of audience reactions of people who seemed to be on the edge of their seats because they knew something big was about to happen.

So what was going through your head when Thanos was pushing Stormbreaker through Thor's armor and then Mjolnir started to rise?

It was obviously Steve to me. He had already moved Mjolnir back in Age of Ultron and was right there also fighting Thanos.

AmConfused3242025-10-09 06:30

Right lol

BatDubb2025-10-09 06:27

Captain America

AmConfused3242025-10-09 06:30

Cap.

igby12025-10-09 06:30

What I liked about that moment was that as someone who only watches the movies, it was obviously a big deal for Cap to wield it.

And for fans of the comics that scene packed even more of a punch.

It’s cool when they land a scene with both casuals and diehards like that.

In action sequences, I'm usually just feeling it as it happens.

dvolland2025-10-09 06:43

Came here to say this. I didn’t try to figure it out in the 2 seconds - I was just experiencing it.

FX1142025-10-09 06:35

I thought it was Thor summoning it back, but I was confused by the angle it was moving.

I knew Cap lifting it was something that was anticipated, but I had completely forgotten about it in the heat of the moment.

Bigkev87872025-10-09 06:46

Exactly the same as me

DoubleStrength2025-10-09 07:39

Thirded.

GuyWhoJustHates2025-10-09 06:35

Thought it was Thor. Was pleasantly surprised

Timtational2025-10-09 06:36

The fact that everyone so far has said "Cap" makes me feel so dumb for thinking my original thought but here it is: I thought Mjolnir was moving on his own and that it had the capability to think and fight for itself 😅

KomturAdrian2025-10-09 06:38

Like Dr. Strange's cape? That's actually cool to think about lol

Ghetto_Phenom2025-10-09 10:31

I mean.. mjolnir does have the capacity to though as we see in TL&T.. not quite as sophisticated as the cloak but it is sentient.

DefNotReaves2025-10-09 06:42

Most people who said cap are lying lol

CaptHayfever2025-10-09 06:46

No cap.

TheCIAiscomingforyou2025-10-09 06:49

angry upvote

Retro-scores2025-10-09 07:19

I wouldn’t say that. It was one of the most talked about and speculated things ever since Thor noticed it move for cap when everyone was trying to lift it. I’d say there was way more people expecting it to happen.

AmbivalentAlias2025-10-09 06:58

Same!

Sunshine1452025-10-09 06:39

Nothing in that movie was a surprise

PezDiSpencersGifts2025-10-09 06:39

I thought it was Vision. Thought maybe he had come back somehow via the SnapBack

KomturAdrian2025-10-09 06:55

That's not a bad thought!

Retro-scores2025-10-09 07:20

Vision didn’t die from the snap though.

__wasitacatisaw__2025-10-09 07:30

Yeah that’s why they used the word ‘somehow’

PezDiSpencersGifts2025-10-09 14:53

Yea I figured it would be explained at some other time but Vision was the only one I knew of at the time that could lift Mjolnir. Cap budging it didn’t even click for me until he came on the screen

randylaheyyy2025-10-09 06:42

Pepper Potts

StopManaCheating2025-10-09 06:43

I thought it was Thor.

Left_Maize8162025-10-09 06:44

I was initially thinking Thor, but quickly realized it had to be Steve

NitroBlast45632025-10-09 06:48

I first thought it was Thanos, which makes no sense but it’s who I thought of

KomturAdrian2025-10-09 06:55

Man that would have been wild to see him call Mjolnir while also holding Stormbreaker!

Random-Fandom-932025-10-09 06:56

Cap

lucioboops32025-10-09 06:57

As a certified dummy, I thought it was another “Loki is back from the dead” bit

AmbivalentAlias2025-10-09 06:57

I think my immediate thought was Mjolnir exhibiting sentience.

¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Thor 4 totally supports this. :p

NahdiraZidea2025-10-09 07:49

This was my snap thought too, Mighty Thor ending was recentish at that time and put the idea in my head.

ddanuu2025-10-09 07:00

While it was lifting I thought it was Thor, then when it hit Thanos I knew it was captain America

Uncanny_Doom2025-10-09 07:01

I gasped immediately because I assumed it was Steve.

tellmethatstoryagain2025-10-09 07:02

At that point, many of us were not thinking. We were just “experiencing,” more or less.

I basically went along with the ride, and it was wonderful. I worried about the mechanics of, say, time travel later on. Hell, I didn’t even question Tony Stark sorting out the time travel problem somewhat nonchalantly as his family slept.

gee_jay112025-10-09 07:08

Definitely Cap. The fact that they just showed the hammer moving on its own and not the person shows that they want to create some mystery around it.

Seeing as Thor could hold it when he time travelled back to Asgard, it could only have been Cap who would be a big reveal

thebadwolf792025-10-09 07:09

Immediate thought was Cap

BottleKnockers2025-10-09 07:10

I had a “could it be?” kind of vibe… hopeful it was Cap based on continuation of “Ultron” nudge

DownhillSisyphus2025-10-09 07:18

I think the idea was for the audience to assume it was Thor summoning it.

Aggressive-Highway322025-10-09 07:25

I think the shot of Mjolnir rising is a close up of Steve literally *lifting* it off the ground, not summoning it. Then he throws it off screen and summons it back

Gh05t_0n3_51502025-10-09 07:26

I knew Capt was able to move it so I knew it wasn’t Thor but what shocked me is when Capt straight out called lightning down on Thanos that did bring a smile to my face

Afwife19922025-10-09 08:26

That was amazing. And he was going to town with it like he’d done it a million times.

thePHTucker2025-10-09 07:30

Going in, I had no clue. It was a gotcha moment when it happened, and the whole damn theater was clapping and yelling because it was opening night. My first thought wasn't Cap. It was Thor double-wielding Mjolnir and Stormbreaker (which, to be fair, would've been epic).

It was one of those times in the distant past where people didn't spoil shit for everyone.

-Borgir2025-10-09 07:49

Cap. It was the slow emphasis they gave for that particular shot and we already knew that cap moved mjolnir slightly before and endgame would be the perfect movie to complete his arc. So yeah, got the feeling that it was cap, it was like “it’s him isn’t it”

TheRatWhoSavedUsAll2025-10-09 08:10

I think originally I thought Thor. Thought it was a shor to set up a crazy hit. Then I thought Cap. But went back to Thor. Was definitely surprised.

Afwife19922025-10-09 08:24

I thought Thor was summoning it until it flew by him after hitting Thanos.

KarmicPotato2025-10-09 08:31

I was so engrossed I didn't even have time to think!

JackJackMFFM2025-10-09 08:32

I thought it was acting on its own. Like it gains consciousness or something when it senses Thor is in grave danger.

LeoLaDawg2025-10-09 08:52

Cap wielding the hammer was teased years before, so fully expected there to be a moment like that at some point.

BigAlReviews2025-10-09 09:29

I didn't figure it out as everyone else started screaming when it rose and I'm just there like "Cool, Thor's gonna catch it. I like hammer tricks not really going to freak out" and THEN Cap caught it. Oh yeah, I get it now!

Abides19482025-10-09 09:33

It was going to come back to Thor through Thanos's skull.

This time Mjolnir went for his head.

cowpool202025-10-09 09:38

I knew it wasn’t Thor. I think I might have thought it was a returning character or something.

shanejayell2025-10-09 09:50

Comics nerd, so I figured it was Cap. Plus, he lifted it in Age of Ultron too

Komaisnotsalty2025-10-09 10:19

Easily Cap. It’s such a comic book move. If you’ve read the comics, it’s obvious as hell, and that scene is taken right from the comics.

That’s one of the reasons for the strong audience reaction in theatres: us comic nerds lost our fucking mind seeing that scene in the movies.

Stormik2025-10-09 11:30

By process of elimination - Cap.

At that moment there were only three characters fighting Thanos. They would have never specifically focused on Mjolnir like that if it was Thor (because for him it wasn't anything special) and Tony has already proven that he is not worthy.
