  • About Cap being worthy of Mjolnir, one theory suggests that Steve was always worthy all-along. When trying to lift the hammer it hinted that he can lift the hammer but didn't because he has a humble character and he didn't want to embarrass Thor in front of the guys, and Thor somehow knew that based on his reaction. The principle of being worthy of the hammer is either you are worthy or you're not, not almost.
  • I remember way back in 2012 or so when people started theorizing that the Tesseract was one of the Infinity Stones, and soon they started theorizing that the gem in Loki's scepter was also going to be revealed to be one of the stones. And sure enough, both fan theories turned out to be true.
  • What about MCU fans speculating that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would appear in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” prior to the film’s release?
  • @AifDaimon
    "Tony.... Stank?" MAKES ME FUCKING CRACK UP EVERY SINGLE TIME.. Cap lifting Mjolnir in Endgame had my fellow audience members SCREAMING IN JOY
  • @PurpleRanger
    I had read somewhere long before Age Of Ultron happened that Thor had decided that if he ever died, he wanted Steve to have Mjolnir because he believed that he was the most worthy to wield it. So that's how I knew Steve would end up using it. And don't forget that Steve using it led to one of the most chill inducing moment in the MCU! Him calling for the hammer after everyone arrived and he shouted "AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!"

    The best MCU theory which came true was the Kang variant being the mastermind behind TVA. That was so hype back then and the finale delivered too
  • I think Cap picking up the hammer theory should be number one in my opinion.
  • “No no gimme that. You have the little one”😂😂😂😂classic

    Now we need 'Top 10 MCU Theories that turned out to be false'
  • The release of these films boosted the hell outta my comic collection.
  • In Winter Soldier, Bucky destroyed everyone in his path. He was unstoppable. In Civil War, Spider-Man catches his fist full force, like it was a gently lobbed soft ball. That showed how strong Spider-Man really is. It was way cool.
  • @isaiahach
    i wouldn't be surprised if the producers and writers from Marvel Studios took elements from some of the more popular fan theories and worked them into the movies for fan service or for a little bit of fun
  • Most interesting theory I've heard is that all of these Phase 4 movies and shows aren't taking place in the same universe which would explain why they rarely mention the events of Eternals or thousands of people dying in Moon Knight.
  • @Alverant
    "I have so any more stories to tell" That still chokes me up. Thanks Stan.
  • Honorable Mention: *The Real Mandarin -I speculated this long ago that the "Mandarin (both of them)" we saw in Iron Man 3 wasn't the real deal, but a red herring meant to throw us off his trail. Sure enough, I was right. The REAL STEEL DEAL finally made his proper debut in Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Effectively decanonizing Iron Man 3's Mandarin. In fact, he even took Trevor Slatery as prisoner for using his name.
  • I bet he did have so many more stories to tell. RIP Stan Lee <3
