🚨Warning: There are MASSIVE spoilers for Avengers: Endgame in this post, so proceed with caution.🚨
1. First, when Avengers: Endgame opens, the Marvel studios logo only features the characters that were not dusted by Thanos, instead of every character.

4. When Tony leaves Pepper a farewell message in his Iron Man helmet, he tells her not to share it on social media. This is a nod to Iron Man, when Tony tells a young soldier not to post their picture.
5. In fact, tons of other Marvel movies are referenced in Endgame, including when Tony mentions his conversation with Steve from Age of Ultron.
6. Also, when Thor decapitates Thanos and remarks that he "went for the head," it's a reference to Thanos telling him he should've done just that in Infinity War.

8. Director Joe Russo makes a brief appearance as a member of Steve's grief support group — his character is also the first openly gay character in the MCU.
9. Also, Jim Starlin, who created Thanos in the comics, is another member of the grief support group.

13. When Scott is desperately looking for Cassie's name on the dusted memorial, some of the other names are people who worked on various Marvel movies.
14. Tony refers to Doctor Strange as the "Bleecker Street Magician" — the New York Sanctum where Doctor Strange works is located at 177A Bleecker Street.
15. Hulk's new look in Endgame is a nod to Professor Hulk, who is seen in certain iterations of The Hulk comics.
16. Thor settles New Asgard in Tønsberg, Norway, which is the place Odin called home before dying in Thor: Ragnarok.

20. When the team gets ready to go into the Quantum Realm, their hands plus the floor mimic the design of Tony's original arc reactor.

27. After all of the dusted Avengers return, Captain America utters the iconic comic book line "Avengers assemble" before battling Thanos.
28. After giving Scott a hard time for referring to Captain America as "Cap," Hope ends up calling him that in Endgame when Scott and Hope try to fix the van.
29. When Thanos slowly chips away at Captain America's shield during the big battle, it's a nod to Tony's dream from Age of Ultron.
30. Tony using the Infinity Gauntlet is also a direct reference from the comics — in a 2011 comic, Tony uses the Gauntlet to put the Hood in prison.
31. The teen seen at Tony's funeral is Harley Keener from Iron Man 3 — he was the boy that helps Tony after he crash lands in Tennessee.
