Small MCU Foreshadowing Details That Fans Noticed
- 1
Thor's Missing Eye Is Visually Foreshadowed
While fighting his older sister Hela, Thor sustained a critical injury after she slashed through his right eye. For those paying attention, there was some advanced notice, as Redditor u/uEAZYG247 pointed out:

New Asgard Was Found Long Before It Was Settled
Odin's passing was an evocative scene, and because it was immediately followed by Hela's arrival, few fans noticed the foreshadowing like Redditor u/zanduby:
In Thor: Ragnarok (2017) before Odin dies in Norway, he points out to the distance and tells Thor and Loki, "Remember this place, home." This is where New Asgard is located in Endgame.

Vision Is Created From Ultron After The Villain Says "Everyone Creates The Thing They Dread"
Ultron was an intelligent and ruthless villain, but he had quiet moments of contemplation. In one, he told something to Wanda that was noticed by Redditor u/JustANormalUser721:

Thanos Alludes To His Own Eventual Defeat
Thanos was an interesting villain, and he wasn't without some interesting things to say. One comment in Infinity War foreshadowed the moment of his eventual loss, as noted by Redditor u/IamtheWil:
In Infinity War (2018), Thanos' opening monologue he says, "I know what it's like to lose.... Turns the legs to jelly." Later in Avengers: Endgame (2019) upon realizing his loss - the first thing Thanos does is take a seat.

The Red Skull Outs Himself In His First Scene
Just because Marvel Comics fans knew the truth of the Red Skull, that didn't mean people unfamiliar with the character weren't aware -- of course, there was this bit of foreshadowing noted by Redditor u/H3CTICNMS that suggested his true nature:
In Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Red skulls accident is cleverly foreshadowed after killing the keeper of the Tesseract.

Tony's Throw Away Joke Foreshadowes His House's Destruction
Sometimes, you should really watch what you say. That's something that Tony should have known before giving his address to terrorists, but more than that, there was some foreshadowing noted by Redditor u/SupermansBrother:
In Iron Man 3, in this scene Tony tells Pepper, "I've got a group of guys coming over tomorrow to blow out that wall." The next day, The Mandarin attacks Tony's house and blows out the wall he was pointing at.
