On July 28, 2019, 'Avengers: Endgame' continued to shatter box office records, surpassing 'Avatar' as the highest-grossing film globally. The movie's digital release was just around the corner, set to arrive on July 30.

Five years after the catastrophic 'Snap' that wiped out half of the world's population, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is struggling to cope with the guilt of his inaction. In a heart-wrenching scene, he's visited by Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper), who find him drowning his sorrows in beer and video games.

As the scene unfolds, it becomes clear that Thor's descent into madness is a desperate attempt to mask the pain of his responsibility for the massive loss of life. The Russo brothers, Anthony and Joe, reveal the secrets behind this poignant moment in their film, offering a glimpse into the emotional depth of their characters.
