Ryan Reynolds Cried Watching Avengers: Endgame Fan Reaction Videos

Ryan Reynolds reveals that he teared up watching fan-reactions to Avengers: Endgame. It’s been more than two years since the MCU’s Infinity Saga wrapped up with Endgame. The film picked up after the Avengers’ devastating loss to Thanos in Infinity War, featuring the team at their lowest point. It took them five years to figure out a way to reverse the snap that wiped out half of life in the universe, and the mission came with personal sacrifices. Iron Man and Black Widow died for the cause, but it was worth it as the Mad Titan and his minions were ultimately defeated.

Endgame was a movie years in the making, as Marvel spent over a decade building up to the Infinity Saga’s culminating event. Since the film was billed as the finale for this era of the MCU’s history, the creative team made sure to include several major moments that paid off character arcs and storylines audiences followed for years. Viewers were delighted to see these scenes play out on the big screen, as evidenced by the number of fan reaction videos taken in theaters after Endgame opened. Even Hollywood’s biggest names got emotional seeing those reactions, with Reynolds admitting to getting choked up.

In a new interview with Total Film (via Digital Spy), Reynolds candidly revealed that he was watching some fan-reactions to Endgame online when he started tearing up. While it may have something to do with the state of the world following a harrowing year marred with countless losses, the actor also said that the 2019 Joe and Anthony Russo film is some of the best blockbusters that he’s ever seen.

“Maybe I’m emotional because of everything that’s going on in the world, but I was sobbing this morning watching that.”

“That is some of the most beautiful, big-budget action filmmaking that I’ve ever seen.”

“That’s one thing I’m really looking forward to, and that I really miss – in a movie theatre and watching a movie that way. It’s a unique experience.”

Endgame, by no means, was a flawless movie. It had controversial plot points including the death of Black Widow in Vormir and Fat Thor’s introduction. Amidst all of this, it’s been hailed as one of the most cathartic movies to date. For fans of the MCU who have been following the franchise since it kicked off with Jon Favreau and Robert Dowey Jr’s Iron Man in 2008, it was a satisfying ending for a lot of different reasons. Aside from its thrilling adventures, it had very strong emotional beats evoking strong reactions from fans.

As the world starts to re-open, fans are slowly going back to watching movies in theaters. Fast & Furious 9 has just a decent opening weekend. Marvel Studios, on the other hand, has a string of films slated to release this year starting with Black Widow. Reynolds’ emotional response watching people’s reaction to  Avengers: Endgame is a reminder of the communal experience of going to cinemas is — something that everyone sorely missed in the last year.
