Cap Is Worthy
Steve Rogers got a budge out of Mjolnir back in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but in Endgame Cap finally manages to wield the hammer of the God of Thunder properly in the midst of the final battle with Thanos. This is just one of the many moments fans have been waiting to see in the MCU, too, as it’s a scenario that’s played out a few times in the comics.
