Behind the Scenes
- While explaining Steve Rogers' Time Travel from 2023 to the 1940s at the end of Avengers: Endgame, Christopher Markus mused on whether Rogers stopped Kennedy's assassination in that timeline or not, saying that what's most important was seeing Rogers and Peggy Carter dance together.[4]
