The scene has a deep connection in the last two Avengers movies and broke the hearts of many fans. In Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange tells his colleagues on Titan that he has seen the future with more than 14 million possibilities. They will lose to Thanos, essayed by Josh Brolin, in all of those expect one future. But unfortunately, Strange disappears with Thanos’ snap and nobody gets to know which reality he was talking about.

Benedict Cumberbatch in Avengers: Endgame makes a heroic comeback as Doctor Strange, along with probably every superhero in the universe. Tony Stark asks him if this is the reality where they win against Thanos, to which Strange does not reply. During the climax, Stark was sitting stunned with his broken Iron Man armour. He looks up to Strange, who is holding back the water. He raises his index finger towards Stark, hinting that this is their only chance to defeat Thanos and it will come at a great price. Now Tony does not let the only chance go in vain. He sacrifices himself by getting the Infinity Stones from Thanos and snapping his finger. Stark believed in Strange and followed his hint to save the universe from the Mad Titan’s plan.
