'Avengers: Endgame' Actor Reveals Secrets About That Surprise Cameo

Its one of the most star-studded scenes in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe , and perhaps our own universe, as well.

Warning! Avengers spoilers below.

Yes, for Tony Starks (Robert Downey Jr.) funeral in Avengers : Endgame, producers pulled out all the stops, bringing together some of the biggest names in the MCU: Michelle Pfeiffer, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Douglas, Marisa Tomei, and many, many more were all in attendance to bid Iron Man farewell. And no one even uttered a line.

It did feel actually kind of insane given what a huge backbend it was for line producers and producers to get everybody there on the same day that we were going to get that much star power and just have them not say anything, Avengers: Endgame writer Christopher Markus told HuffPost recently.

But while most of the actors in the scene are a whos who of Hollywood, there is one who quickly turns the moment into a Whos that?

Following a look at everyone from members of the cast of Black Panther to the Guardians of the Galaxy , the camera passes over one young actor whos standing alone. At the time, this person left a lot of theatergoers scratching their heads, but now we know it is none other than actor Ty Simpkins, aka Harley Keener, aka the young kid who befriends Iron Man in Iron Man 3:

I have to laugh. A lot of people are like, Who is that guy? Simpkins recently told HuffPost over the phone.

He has a number of major projects under his belt, including Jurassic World and Insidious, but a lot has changed for our guy since Iron Man 3 came out in 2013.

Heres the actor at the Endgame premiere:
