Endgame Directors Confirm Loki’s Status
This article contains FULL SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame.
Update: Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo have confirmed that Loki did in fact create a divergent timeline after taking the Space Stone in the past when Captain America and Iron Man went back to try and retrieve the stone. Read on for our full theory on how this ties into his Disney+ show...
Ever since a Loki standalone series was announced for the Disney+ streaming service, fans have speculated how the beloved God of Mischief might return to the MCU, following his seemingly permanent death in Avengers: Infinity War. Of course, some theorized that he faked out Thanos with an illusion of himself and then got the hell out of Dodge before Grimace destroyed the Asgardian ship, but the Russo brothers have maintained that he really died, so we're taking them at their word.
Avengers: Endgame Has the Biggest Opening Weekend of All Time
Avengers: Endgame has an exceptional opening weekend at the box office, earning an estimated $350 million domestically and an additional $859 million internationally for a worldwide total of $1.2 billion and breaking all previous opening weekend records which were held by Avengers: Infinity War.
Revealed by Disney, Avengers: Endgame also reached $1 billion in just five days, which is more than twice as fast as Avengers: Infinity War, which previously held the record at 11 days. This puts Endgame on track to be one of the highest grossing movies of all time, if not the highest grossing movie ever. Check out the current list of highest grossing movies of all time (US domestic) below:

One Big Question We Have After Endgame
Full spoilers follow for Avenger: Endgame, so jump on the Benatar and get out of here if you haven't seen the movie yet!
Early on in Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark and Nebula are lost in space, adrift on the Benatar.

But with no fuel, no food, no water, and soon, no air, things are looking dire. Tony Stark records a message for Pepper Potts via his Iron Man helmet, but he doesn't even know if she can receive it because, you know, outer space. And then, just when all hope seems lost and Tony appears to be almost dead, Captain Marvel shows up and flies them home!
