When talking about the rogue members of The Avengers, Secretary of State Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross refers to them as criminals, but then Colonel Rhodes refutes him by saying "You know, they're only criminals because you chose to label them as such." Ironically, in Captain America: Civil War (2016), Rhodey was the first to call Captain America a criminal, back when the Sokovia Accords were still fresh.

When Gamora and Thanos travel to Vormir to obtain the Soul Stone, they meet the guardian of the gem, who is revealed to be Johann Schmidt (Red Skull). It confirms the seven-years-ongoing fan theory that the Tesseract didn't kill Schmidt at the end of Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), but had just sent him off to space. It seems fitting that, as he was consumed by the power of the Space Stone (Tesseract) in that movie, he would be the guardian of the Soul Stone in this movie, being his first appearance since then. However, Hugo Weaving did not reprise his role from Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) due to previous reluctance to return to portray the character and the long sessions to apply make-up as well, leading him to be replaced by Ross Marquand .

Nick Fury appears in a post-credit sequence, being wiped out of existence. Before he disappears, he mutters "Motherf-----". Had he not been cut off, Samuel L. Jackson would have been the first actor to use the word "fuck" in a Disney movie.

This movie was inspired by the following Marvel Comics storylines: The Infinity Gauntlet (Thanos forms the Infinity Gauntlet and becomes all-powerful), The Thanos Imperative (the Guardians of the Galaxy take on Thanos), and Infinity (the Avengers and Inhumans team up to battle Thanos). The Marvel Comics storyline of the same name, however, involved a battle between superheroes for the Infinity Gauntlet, and has nothing to do with this story. This battle happened after the events of The Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Crusade, where in the Infinity Gauntlet, Adam Warlock and his Infinity Watch formed by Gamora, Moondragon, Drax the Destructor, and Pip the Troll, allied forces with Thanos in order to defeat Magus, Warlock's evil side, who was looking to reunite the Infinity Gauntlet to be all-powerful and in the Infinity Crusade, Adam Warlock, The Avengers, Thanos, X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and Silver Surfer unite to defeat the Goddess, Warlock's good side, who was looking to convert the entire universe to worship her and control everyone.

In the script, Peter Parker's death wasn't drawn out like it was in the movie. The only written line was "I don't feel so good". The filmmakers wanted more emotion, and Tom Holland's performance is what came out of it. The filmmakers confirmed that Spider-Man's spider-sense helped alert him, and that is part of why his disappearance was more drawn out than it was for others.
