Fans were likely surprised to see Harley Keener in the funeral scene, but even Simpkins was stunned to get the call. He as of late discussed the minute he originally got breeze when he was in thought to show up in Endgame, and how Iron Man implied such a great amount to him as a child.

Ty Simpkins talks what his character Harley was feeling in that final scenes in Avengers: Endgame.

Simpkins said; "I was about to do an audition and my manager at the time called me and he said they were thinking about putting me in, and I was screaming so much in the car with my mom. My mom is like, 'What? What is it?' And I just didn’t tell her because it wasn’t confirmed."

Originally, Endgame’s director, The Russo Bros. were concerned about having older teen Harley to appear in that scene because barely anyone in the test audiences was aware of who he was. However, the helmsmen figured that easter eggs like this were half the fun of the MCU and decided to keep Harley in the scene anyway.

That was obviously good news for Ty Simpkins. He told HuffPost what filming the scene was like and what his character Harley was thinking during the funeral.

Ty Simpkins appeared as Harley in Iron Man 3.

Simpkins said he didn’t get a script and was just told to feel how much Tony meant to his character. The 17-year-old added 'Tony was the only father figure the kid had in Iron Man 3 and that was really something sentimental to Harley.'

Even the actor was very positive about the possibility when approached by the same topic.
