Avengers 4 gets a title, a trailer, and a whole lot of fan speculation
Hawkeye is back and looks pissed, and Tony Stark tells Pepper Potts (through a recording on his wrecked helmet) that part of the journey is the end. Are you ready for Avengers: Endgame?
The first trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to last year’s Avengers: Infinity War dropped this morning, and there’s not much more that needs to be said.
You’re either a diehard fan drooling in anticipation, a casual moviegoer who’s along for the ride, or someone who couldn’t care less about the 10-year, 20-movie cinematic universe that Marvel has cultivated over the last decade. It’s a crazy time to be alive, regardless of where you sit.
There’s really not much on display in the first trailer for Avengers: Endgame, and that’s to be expected.
Directors Anthony and Joe Russo have always played their cards close to the chest, and no one was expecting a big leak, excessive action scenes, or anything that could give away…well…anything about this chapter-closing sequel. Rumor has it, they’ve even got Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland locked up somewhere so they can’t spill any secrets.
That said, there’s bound to be plenty of fan and website speculation leading up to the release of the movie.
Without further ado, here’s the first teaser trailer for Marvel’s upcoming Avengers: Endgame:
I’m neither qualified nor invested enough to take a deep dive into what we’re seeing in the trailer or what we can expect from an Infinity War follow-up.
One thing’s for sure: The world/galaxy is pretty messed up after Thanos’s little finger snap in Infinity War. If you haven’t seen Infinity War, or you didn’t catch it in the Endgame trailer, half of sentient life everywhere has been wiped out. Gone. Or, are they?
Word is, everyone who got snapped is actually in the Soul Stone, which means there’s still hope. I’ve heard rumblings that people think someone is going to have to sacrifice themselves to release everyone from the Soul Stone. Who’s it going to be? Stark? Cap? It’s a safe bet to put your money on either of those two.
Also, Ant Man/Scott Lang and the Quantum Realm (seen in Ant Man and the Wasp) apparently have something to do with things.
Oh! And it looks like Hawkeye is back (after fan uproar over him missing from Infinity War, which led to this poster), and he’s either dipped into an emo phase or something bad happened to his family. Could they have all been snapped?
That’s the end of my speculation/regurgitation of fan theories. Other sites are already posting breakdowns.
Avengers: Endgame stars…more big names than probably any other tentpole blockbuster to-date (someone please check me on that). The first scroll of the cast listing for the movie’s IMDb page is top-billed actors and actresses, and the list just keeps going. You’ll have more fun checking them out over there than you will from me listing all their names here.
According to the trailer, the Avengers: Endgame release date has been moved up to April 26, 2019. It was previously scheduled for release on May 3.
