- When the Russo Brothers tweeted out a photo of the re-shoot cast, Yvette Nicole Brown from [Community (2009)] was in that photo, making her at least the fourth cast member from "Community" to appear in a Russo Bros.

Before their work with Marvel Studios, directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo were known for their work producing and directing TV comedies, including "Community", where they served as executive producers during the first three seasons. (Elsewhere in the MCU, "Community" star Donald Glover appears in the non-Russo Bros. film Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), as Aaron Davis, the criminal Spider-Man tries to interrogate about the Vulture's weapons ring and uncle of future Spider-Man Miles Morales.)
- Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel has less than ten minutes of screen time.

- Spoilers
- Captain America wielding Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, comes from the comics, where Steve Rogers has proven himself worthy by the enchantment cast on the hammer. This also marks the second film where Steve Rogers makes an attempt to wield Mjolnir. The first was in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), though in that film he was only able to move the hammer slightly off the table. That subtle movement was noticed by Thor. Director Joss Whedon hinted in an interview that Rogers had been able to lift the hammer the whole time, but didn't, so as to not hurt his friend Thor's feelings.
- In The Avengers (2012), Captain America tells Iron Man, "You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play," and Iron Man tells Captain America, "Everything special about you came out of a bottle." In this movie, each proves the other wrong. Iron Man sacrifices himself to defeat Thanos, while Captain America proves himself worthy by being able to wield Thor's hammer, Mjolnir.
- During the funeral scene, Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man and is notorious online for accidentally giving spoilers away in press junkets, was told they were filming a wedding.
- Joe Russo has confirmed in interviews that elderly Steve found a way to make another time jump from his alternate reality with Peggy towards his original with Sam, which is left to be a mystery for now.
- With this film, along with Captain America: Civil War (2016), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), and Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Tom Holland breaks Tobey Maguire's record for playing Spider-Man in live-action movies the most times.
- In the original Iron Man (2008), the soundtrack used a short excerpt from the classic rock song "Iron Man" by [?] Black Sabbath. In this movie, Iron Man fulfills the line of the song, "where he traveled time, for the future of mankind".
