There's a Great BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 2 Reference Spotted in AVENGERS: ENDGAME
There’s a pretty awesome Back to the Future Part 2 reference that was recently spotted in Avengers: Endgame by a fan that I think fans will get a kick out of. While the movie included references in the dialogue for the film such as Scott Lang saying, "So you’re saying Back to the Future is bullshit?", there’s a visual reference as well.
Redditer byu/malechite pointed out the visual similarities between a scene involving Rocket Raccoon in battle in Avengers: Endgame's and the Jaws 19 hologram attacking Marty McFly in Back to the Future: Part 2. You can check out the comparison video below:

As you can see, that definitely seems like it was an intentional reference, it’s totally spot on and I love it! That’s such an awesomely unexpected reference that I would have never caught had it not been pointed out to me like this.
When previously talking about the Back to the Future references in Endgame, Back to the Future co-writer and producer Bob Gale told The Hollywood Reporter:
“I was delighted to learn from Endgame that all of the Marvel superheroes are fans of Back to the Future. I knew our movie had been seen in almost every part of our world, but I had no idea we’d been playing in other parts of the multi-verse too. Now I need to find out if we’re owed some money from those multi-verse theatrical runs, and if not, why my contract didn’t cover those territories!”
