Tony Stark's Post-Snap Journey: Imagining a Meeting with His Daughter Morgan

Could Tony Stark, after snapping his fingers, have seen his late daughter Morgan in a post-snap world? This raises intriguing questions about the potential outcomes of Thanos’ snap and Tony Stark’s own choices.

Unseen Scenes and Fan Theories

It is widely known that in Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner saw their loved ones when they snapped their fingers to reverse Thanos' work. However, there were plans for Tony to see Morgan, and Bruce to see Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow).

According to several directors, Tony was supposed to see his adult daughter Morgan, while Bruce was set to see Natasha. However, these scenes were cut for pacing reasons. While this may seem redundant since Morgan’s scene was present in some versions, it highlights the deep emotional connections the characters had with their loved ones.

Fan Theories on Tony Stark's Vision

A fan theory arose suggesting that Tony Stark might see Yinsen, his mentor and friend, after snapping his fingers. This theory is intriguing as it aligns with Yinsen's pivotal role in Tony's development and growth. Imagine the scene:

Yinsen - Did you do it?

Tony - Yes.

Yinsen - What did it cost?

Tony - Everything.

Instead of sadness and regret, Tony would answer with confidence and a sense of purpose. He understands the sacrifices he made and the impact his actions had on saving the world.

The Soul World Scene and Final Closure

Despite the emotional weight of not being able to see Morgan, Tony finds closure through his holographic message. This scene was deleted because the audience found it too abstract. Similar to Thanos, Tony's world after the snap is one of loss and closure. However, his message offers a final emotional connection to Morgan, providing the closure that was intended.

Unfulfilled Potential: Bruce and Morgan in the Soul World

Initial plans included Bruce seeing Natasha in the Soul World, alongside Tony seeing Morgan. Unfortunately, these scenes could not fit within the three-hour runtime of the film. The writers and directors aimed to follow the Soul Stone vision rules but found it challenging to fit all scenes within the required time.

One writer mentioned: 'We did actually write a version, and this existed before The Ancient One scene was slowly beaten out. But there was a version where it was Banner talking to The Hulk… and we never shot it but it was kind of a cool thing to get them both on screen together interacting.'

This could have been a powerful moment, allowing both characters to express their emotions and share insights with one another.

Conclusion: Closure and Sacrifice

Tony Stark’s post-snap journey, while not explicitly detailed, is a story of deep emotional resolve. Recognizing the cost of his actions, Tony finds closure through his holographic message. This moment encapsulates his journey from a self-centered, driven genius to a leader who understands the true cost of sacrifice. Though not included in the final cut, the scenes hint at a rich narrative that could have been explored further in alternative media.
