The Marvel Cinematic Universe is in absolutely no danger of losing its crown as the biggest and most popular franchise in the industry, but the absence of the two characters that defined the Infinity Saga more than most will be keenly felt nonetheless. Tony Stark and Steve Rogers were viewed as the heart and soul of the MCU, and their stories were always intertwined right up until the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist made the ultimate sacrifice at the end of Avengers: Endgame.
Howard Stark was constantly full of praise and admiration for Captain America having been integral to his creation, which led to Tony always being somewhat resentful of Steve, with the former having dealt with some pretty major daddy issues. They managed to strike up a friendship despite there always been an underlying sense of friction between them, and they even managed to patch things up in Avengers: Endgame following the battle that blew the Avengers apart in Captain America: Civil War.
The MCU is always known for paying off even the smallest moments years down the line, and a throwaway line of dialogue in Avengers: Age of Ultron has now taken on a different life after foreshadowing Cap’s fate at the end of the Infinity Saga’s final chapter. After defeating Ultron, Tony made it clear that he was chasing the simple life, something that Steve never imagined he’d get the chance to enjoy.
Tony told him he’d get there one day, and Steve took him up on it by journeying back through time and deciding to stay and live out the rest of his days with longtime love Peggy Carter. Right up until their final moments in the MCU, Steve and Tony’s arcs remained inextricably linked by even the smallest of details in less-regarded movies like Age of Ultron.
