Best comic book movie moments: 12. Cap picks up the hammer
Comic book movie: Avengers: Endgame
In Avengers: Age of Ultron, we saw some of the Avengers attempt to lift Thor’s hammer. Steve Rogers was the only one who made it even budge. In Avengers: Endgame, he didn’t only lift the hammer, Rogers used it right when he needed to most.
Comic book fans knew that Steve Rogers could lift Mjolnir. Despite knowing this, actually seeing him do it was still exciting. The slow lift followed by him whacking Thanos in the head was fantastic. Then, watching him wield it with masterful skill and calling down lightning brought it all together nicely. It helped cap off Chris Evans’ time as Captain America.
