There is no doubt that one of the most surprising moments from Endgame is when Captain America finally lifted Mjolnir to go up against Thanos, and this new piece of concept art provides an impressive look at that. While the concept art doesn't reveal much, it still provides a fascinating look at the fight between the two iconic characters. 

Based on the audience reactions straight from Endgame's opening night screenings, this moment was a huge favorite, and fans can relive that through this newly revealed piece of concept art. Meinerding's comments indicate that there were many ideas that were considered in terms of conceptualizing the fight between Captain America and Thanos, and this isn't a surprise since this was a worthy reveal back then. 

As the MCU moves forward into its next phases, it's a safe bet that more surprising moments like this will surface in the near future.
