Avengers: Infinity War had massive hype surrounding it, and for good cause. A culmination of all the films before it, Infinity War follows Thanos as he assembles all the Infinity Stones in the hopes to wipe out half the universe. With probably the most superheroes on screen a comic book movie has had, Infinity War was a massive success and a jaw dropping prelude to Avengers: Endgame. Although Stan had a short role in this, it advanced the character of Bucky Barnes and made it even more sad to watch him get dusted.

Avengers: Endgame ($2.798 Billion)

A conclusion to the Infinity Saga of the MCU, Endgame featured our fallen heroes bringing everyone back who became a victim of the snap. Avengers: Endgame went on to become the highest grossing film of all time but was unfortunately defeated by Avatar after it had its re-release. Nonetheless Endgame is a milestone for blockbusters and provided a great conclusion for some of our favorite characters. It gave us the final goodbye between Steve and Bucky and effectively set up the show The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
