Thor How Many Asgardians Are Left Alive After Endgame

During Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, the Asgardian people experience multiple tragedies, including Hela’s (Cate Blanchett) takeover of the Asgardian throne, Surtur’s (Clancy Brown) destruction of Asgard, Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) attack on the refugees’ spaceship, and Thanos’ Decimation. While it is revealed that the last of the Asgardians relocate to the small fishing town of Tønsberg in Endgame, not many Asgardians survived the third MCU phase. Exactly how many Asgardians are left alive at the end of Endgame?

Introduced in Thor, the Asgardians are an alien race from the realm of Asgard that seized power over the Nine Realms under King Odin’s (Anthony Hopkins) leadership. Protecting Earth from the Frost Giants, the Asgardians came in contact with humans thousands of years ago in Scandinavia and were regarded as gods by the Vikings due to the Asgardians’ advanced technology. In Thor, the magnitude of the Asgardian population is divulged during the scene depicting Thor’s coronation, as thousands of people watch from a full amphitheater. At their prime, the population of Asgard appears to be that of a small city with an estimated 50,000 citizens, but after Endgame, their numbers have dwindled to just under a thousand. Here are the events that led to the decline of the mighty warrior race of Asgardians and how many are believed to be alive.

In Thor: Ragnarok, the majority of the population of Asgardians are killed by Hela and Surtur. Living up to her name as the Goddess of Death, Hela wipes out Asgard’s army single-handedly in combat, including Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) friends Fandral (Zachary Levi), Hogun (Tadanobu Asano), and Volstagg (Ray Stevenson). As Hela overtakes Asgard with her undead army of Berserkers, Heimdall (Idris Elba) manages to sneak what appears to be thousands of Asgardian citizens into a secret hideout in the mountains, which is estimated to be 3,000 to 5,000 people based on the size of the crowd. Since the hall where Heimdall hid the Asgardians’ is revealed to be empty when Hela discovers it, it’s presumed that Heimdall escorted all of those Asgardians across the Bifrost Bridge and onto the Grand Master’s (Jeff Goldblum) stolen ship The Statesman. Since Asgard was believed to hold the population of a small city, only a small percentage of the Asgardians escape before Surtur destroys Asgard, which means many were left behind.

In the beginning of Infinity War, Thanos and the Black Order, in their usual manner upon visiting a new population, kill half of the Asgardians onboard The Statesman, including Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Heimdall. While it takes place offscreen, Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), along with the estimated 1,500 to 2,500 surviving Asgardians, flee via escape pods and head towards Earth. According to the co-director Joe Russo, half of the remaining Asgardians are once again decimated by the end of Infinity War when Thanos uses the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half of all life, making the final estimate of remaining Asgardians to be around 750 to 1,250 people. Over the course of Endgame, about one fourth of the original Asgardian population settle in New Asgard or Tønsberg until Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) resurrects those who were dusted by Thanos’ snap using the Nano-Gauntlet.

When Hulk brings back the Asgardians, however, only those who disappeared during Thanos’ decimation are brought back, meaning that the half who were killed on The Statesman are gone for good, which is why Loki and Heimdall never return. Since those who were killed by Thanos during the decimation were most likely already on Earth, having traveled to the planet onboard the escape pod, they likely reappeared on Earth, which means that the population of New Asgard is about to increase by half. Instead of the low estimate of 750 to 1,250, Hulk’s snap may have increased their numbers between 1,500 and 2,500.

While the remaining population of Asgardians on Earth is quite low by the end of Avengers: Endgame, it’s still possible that there could be more Asgardians unaccounted for in the other Nine Realms. Since Asgard’s army appeared to be rather small during Ragnarok, it’s possible that some soldiers were stationed in other realms at the time of Asgard’s seizure by Hela. Including Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander), there could also be some Asgardians similar to Valkyrie who went off on their own to explore other planets that could be introduced in Thor: Love and Thunder.
