Avengers: Endgame had its first screening at midnight on Wednesday, April 24, 2019. But the movie debuted in other countries like France and Australia the day before, so some plot details have already leaked. Beware, there are huge spoilers ahead for Avengers: Endgame.
Who is Harley Keener and why were fans overjoyed by his cameo in Endgame?
Marvel fans may not recognise Harley Keener who appears in the final moments of Endgame.
In the aftermath of the final battle, Iron Man used the Infinity Stones to destroy Thanos and his armies.
But the Infinity Stones were too powerful and wielding the gauntlet resulted in Iron Man’s death.
His funeral featured appearances from every surviving Avenger and more, and one such cameo was Harley Keener (Ty Simpkins), the little kid from Iron Man 3 – now all grown up.

Tony met Harley when he, stuck in Tennessee when his prototype armour failed and stranded him, was raiding the Keener family garage.
Harley helped Tony rebuild his suit which also helped bring Tony out of his funk.
At the end of Iron Man 3, Tony gifted Harley a treasure trove of computer and robotics equipment.
Now, all grown up, Harley appears at Iron Man’s funeral and many suspect the cameo is more than just a nod to fans.

Instead, Spider-Man: Far From Home is the last in Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Feige said Spider-Man Far From Home would explore: “What is it like to try to go back to a normal life after what happens in Infinity War?
“Not to mention what happens in Endgame. It’s fun to see that, because he can represent, you know, the world as a whole, as they try to move forward.
“And you can do it in a way that is tonally unique, and tonally different than, certainly, the two Avengers films that people are about to see.”
Where, and if, Harley pops up remains to be seen.
Avengers: Endgame is now playing in UK cinemas.
