Credits
Write a short summary of what happens in the film
As a story continuation of Xbox’s “What Did I Miss,” Aaron, the game store clerk, shows off the Xbox Series X and Xbox Game Pass to Sam Wilson (AKA Falcon). Each game title is juxtaposed with scenes from the Disney+ series – for example, the clerk asks Sam if he’s ever been in a car chase as we see footage of Forza Horizon 4. Sam wryly replies, “I fly, dude” as we flash to footage of Falcon soaring through the air. After showing Sam more gameplay, Aaron passes him the Xbox controller and asks him if he wants to take down some bad guys. “I can do that,” Sam replies with a smile. In our button, we reveal a surprise from the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Aaron’s gamer tag is revealed as "NoobMaster69,” the same name as a Fortnite player that Thor and Korg battled in the blockbuster film Avengers: Endgame.
