Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, is the Time-Traveling Old Man (Avengers: Endgame, 2019)
In Avengers: Endgame, we finally learned the fate of Steve Rogers, aka Captain America. It was revealed that he had traveled back in time to be with Peggy Carter, the love of his life, and had grown old together. But in a shocking twist, it was also revealed that the old man who attended Tony Stark’s funeral was none other than an aged Steve Rogers, who had been watching over his friends all along.
The True Identity of the Mandarin (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, 2021)
The Mandarin is one of the most iconic villains in the MCU, and fans were eagerly anticipating his debut in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. But in a shocking twist, it was revealed that the Mandarin was not the main villain of the film at all.

Loki’s Multiverse of Madness (Loki, 2021)
The Loki series on Disney+ was full of twists and turns, but one of the most shocking was the revelation of the multiverse itself. We saw multiple versions of Loki, each from different timelines and universes, and learned that the multiverse was far more complex and vast than we ever could have imagined.
