There are a lot of questions that will finally be answered when Avengers: Endgame finally hits theaters next year. For instance, what happened in the one future where the Avengers actually won against Thanos? A new fan theory suggests that it had little to do with Tony Stark being saved from certain death in Avengers: Infinity War.
The theory posted on Reddit offers an interesting take on Doctor Strange's decision to give Thanos the Time Stone in Infinity War. Although it looked like the Sorcerer Supreme was trying to save Tony's life, there may have been a completely different reason why he convinced the Mad Titan to spare Iron Man.
The theory purports that "it wasn't about saving Tony's life or the Avengers overcoming a probability of 1/14,000,000 - It was about things happening in a very, very specific timeframe."
It's an interesting idea considering that there are other theories pointing to Scott being the key to everything. In addition to that, Scott making an appearance in the Endgame trailer despite being stuck in the Quantum Realm in the Ant-Man and the Wasp post-credits scene suggests he could be a major player. However, we'll have to wait until the film premieres next year to find out for sure. In the meantime, we recommend taking this with a grain of salt.
Avengers: Endgame is scheduled for release on April 26, 2019.
