It took more than a snap, but the Russos have officially put the finishing touches on Avengers: Endgame at last.
The culmination of so much storytelling in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a decade in the making, so understandably it's been quite a process wrapping up all of the work needed.
On Friday (8 March), the filmmaking brothers shared on Twitter that they'd officially 'pictured-locked' the sequel – meaning that it's now ready to be delivered to cinemas for your enjoyment.
Unfortunately for them, it looks like they'll now have to close the ice cream sundae bar they've built into their editing suite. We can't muster up much sympathy though since they've already seen Avengers: Endgame multiple times, while the rest of us have to wait over a month.
It has technically been just under a year since Avengers: Infinity War traumatised viewers with Thanos' finger snap, but so much has happened within that short span.
While it initially looked like the Russos had wrapped up filming with the most impressive cast in Marvel history last autumn, word quickly spread that many of them would be called back for more reshoots.
Those reshoots took place in January, with only four months until release! Soon, Chris Hemsworth was hopping on a transatlantic flight with his Men in Black co-star Tessa Thompson to split time between the two movies.
Reshoots wrapped up fairly quickly from there. We're keeping our fingers crossed for an excellent end to this first decade of the MCU.
Avengers: Endgame will be released in the UK and US on 26 April, 2019.
