Well , folk , we have it : After months ofwaiting , speculation , rumors , and demands , we ’ve at long last gottenour first lookat Avengers 4 , now have it away as Avengers : Endgame . As ever with these cryptic teasers , it ’s a look that shows off a bunch of thing … and yet , not a tidy sum at the same prison term . Let ’s go through and break it down .
The drone open with a distraught Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr.)—gazing upon his buffet Iron Man helmet as he sits on the deck of the Benatar , the ship of the Guardians of the Galaxy . Well , okay , former ship of the Guardians of the Galaxy , who are now fundamentally down to Rocket ( Bradley Cooper ) , who ’s bind on Earth , and Nebula ( Karen Gillan ) , who … is actually seemingly onthe Benatarwith Tony at some item , we ’ll get to that .
Tony is fiddle with the helmet for a grim purpose : he ’s recording a terminal log , because his situation is reasonably dire . He ’s had no food or H2O forfour days , and his O is about to run for out . The Benatar is drifting in place , and he ’s seemingly all on his own . “ When I drift off , I will stargaze about you . It ’s always you , ” he concludes , with the “ you ” presumably being Pepper Potts ( Gwyneth Paltrow ) . Like I say , grim !
Marvel ’s probably not gon na let the Russo Brothers kill Tony Stark off early on in this motion picture by having him choke alone out in the depths of infinite , so we can bet on him being rescue . The question is , by who ?
The obvious choice would be Marvel ’s new cosmic defender , the mightyCaptain Marvel(Brie Larson)—who’d make sense to appear in the depths of outer space out of nowhere front to help someone in need , and we know she ’s on her means back to Earth thanks to Nick Fury ’s ( Samuel L. Jackson)beeper qui vive . But do n’t forget that there ’s really still some Asgardians out there in space — we acknowledge Valkyrie ( Tessa Thompson ) and a few survivor from Thanos ’ ( Josh Brolin ) attack on the refugee ship at the opening of Infinity War get off ( although there ’s plausibly a few less of them now , thanks to the Snap ) . Suffice to say , hopeless at it seems , Tony ’s flummox options .
After Thanos snap away even the Marvel Studios banner — that rascal — we curve to the sick Titan enjoying his “ well - deserved ” rest . While the planet he ’s on has n’t been officially named yet , the Russos have bear on to it as “ Titan 2 , ” a refreshment of his devastate homeworld . His armor being hang up as a scarecrow and Thanos suddenly becoming a dab hand at plant craw is really a reference to an iconic dig from the comic , specifically the original 1991 miniseries by Jim Starlin and George Perez , Infinity Gauntlet :
At the flood tide of the series , after the power of the gauntlet had been ripped out of Thanos ’ hands ( Adam Warlock eventually becomes the wielder , to safeguard the creation ) , the Mad Titan had retired to an unknown world , humbled by his loss of baron , to lean the land and seemingly live out his days as a granger . Just like that did n’t really adhere in the strip , odds are that the MCU Thanos — who is still break the battered , burned - out Infinity Gauntlet — won’t be spending Endgame sustain his Stardew Valley on .
Meanwhile , back on Earth , the exist Avengers have relocate from Wakanda to Avengers HQ . Oh no , sad Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans ) ! “ Thanos did exactly what he say he was gon na do , ” Black Widow ( Scarlett Johansson ) add over the shooter of a weepy Cap . “ He wiped out … 50 per centum of all populate puppet . ”
As she says that , we see Bruce Banner ( Mark Ruffalo ) looking over a holographical list of the Avengers ’ absent ally . We only see Scott Lang ( Paul Rudd ) , Shuri ( Letitia Wright ) , and Peter Parker ( Tom Holland ) , and they ’re all labeled as “ missing ” rather than “ beat . ” We have sex Peter is dead , because we watched him collapse to bits in Tony ’ arms in Infinity War . And we also have sex that , thanks to the end of Ant - Man and the Wasp , Scott avoided the snap by being in the quantum realm at the time . So do n’t get too anxious about Shuri being on that inclination — she might be go , she might be off the grid . After all , with T’Challa dead , Wakanda needs a protector .
Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) mope alone elsewhere in Avengers HQ — he ’s presumably taking it a lot harder than everyone else , because it was his not - so - calamitous - gust that left Thanos the chance to enact his will in Infinity War ’s climax . Nice to see that he ’s find some fittingly schlubby clothes to vary into for his moping , at least . And hey , he still induce a replacement eye out of it all , so do n’t be that sad , God of Thunder !
As Steve solemnly notes “ We lost , all of us , we lost friends , we lost family , ” we get one of the most intriguing shots of the trailer : Nebula , walk in on what sure bet like the unconscious body of Tony on the Benatar . before on , Tony seemed to imply that he was alone — so does Nebula provide , thinking he ’s dead , only for him to wake up and record his message ? Or does this encounter after all that ?
“ We fall back a part of ourselves , ” Steve extend , as we get to the trailer ’s arguably adult reveal : Natasha , off in Asia as she reunites with a very , very different - seem Hawkeye ( Jeremy Renner ) . The sword and costume Renner has put on were really leaked a while agoin go down picture , but it ’s also another big callback to the comic , because this is n’t really Clint Barton , Hawkeye . It ’s Clint Barton , Ronin .
In the aftermath of the infamous risible event Civil War ( and his Christ’s Resurrection after House of M , which retconned Clint pass ina truly idiotic way ) , Clint put aside the Hawkeye name and adopted the drapery of Ronin , becoming the 2d person to employ the title after Maya Lopez . Clint operate in enigma at first , with few masses knowing he was still alive , but would eventually openly lock as Ronin and before regress to the Hawkeye cape in 2010 — by then , Kate Bishop had started using the name in his retentiveness , and has persist in to do so alongside him ever since .
So what ’s he doing adopt it now , and swanning around in places that are distinctly not his farmhouse ? It stands to understanding that not all of Clint ’s kinfolk made it out of the snap intact — in fact , he could ’ve lost his married woman and his kids . That sort of sorrow would in all likelihood be enough for him to start traveling and stick up thugs , give up his sure-enough SHIELD agentive role identity in the unconscious process . But it also suggest that there ’s at least been a enough passageway of sentence between what we ’re realise here and the closing of Infinity War — peradventure it ’s by and by on in the movie than everything else in the dawdler , which clearly takes place close to the aftermath of Thanos ’ success .
Cutting back to Steve and Natasha , this time we see them suited up — and , interesting to observe , Steve is n’t in his rupture up Age of Ultron costume any more : He ’s exit back to his SHIELD - issued stealth suit from Captain America : The Winter Soldier . I guess he had been wearing that Ultron courting for a while at this point ! When this take place his hard to say , but Cap and Widow are clearly preparing for something big , as Steve takes a coup d’oeil at one of his quondam and most wanted possessions : a compass , holding a picture of Peggy Carter ( Hayley Atwell ) . Sniffle .
Widow tries to control Cap that it ’s all going to work out for them , but even Captain America , beacon light of hope , is n’t too certain : “ I know it is . Because I do n’t live what I ’m gon na do if it does n’t . ” Really , that ’s how you screw it ’s dread .
And here it is , your big title reveal : Avengers : Endgame . It is , of course , a nod to Doctor Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch ) ’s net business in Infinity War to Tony Stark before he too falls to Thanos ’ snap : “ We ’re in the endgame now . ” But , it ’s not really the first time the phrase has actually been uttered in an Avengers film : Tony warns Steve back in Age of Ultron that they ’re approach an end game , asking how the Avengers could ever present such a cataclysmic threat . Steve ’s response back then , of course , was “ together . ” It ’s also just a logical word to utilize when come to the end of such a massive plot line .
The last moments of the poke drop up even more doubtfulness — while Steve and Natasha are blab at what come along to be Avengers HQ , they ’re interrupted by Scott Lang knock on the room access , to their sheer shock absorber . There ’s a lot here to observe : first , Scott ’s brought his van , which , as we knowfrom the end of Ant - Man and the Wasp , contains the miniaturized quantum tunnel he was testing that permit him live Thanos ’ snap — and it seems like that technology could at least offer some clues for what the Avengers will do next .
Beyond all that , it ’s the dialog that offers some scintillate hints here . Scott refers to the events of Civil War—“The drome ! In Germany!”—as being a few long time ago ( Civil War take place in 2016 , and Infinity War takes situation in 2018 ) . But on top of that , a appalled looking Steve necessitate Natasha if it ’s an “ old message , ” so there ’s an implication that there ’s at least been a comme il faut passing of time since even Infinity War . After all , that guess of Bruce looking at the missing persons inclination prominently have Scott . Are Steve and Natasha just surprise that Scott is alive , or are they surprised that it ’s been so long since he ’s been report missing ?
There’slongbeenrumors of clock time change of location playing a major function in Avengers : Endgame , but this is unconvincing anything to do with that . But it does indicate that at least some of what we see in this trailer does n’t take place so close to the end of Infinity War as you might think it does
This preview is a bigger look at Avengers : Endgame than anyone could ’ve expected out of a first tease of this climactic chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . But while there is a density of footage , it ’s all pretty luminousness on detail — we do n’t really jazz much more now than we did while clamor for this lagger , and it ’s seemingly from very early on in the movie , where our Italian sandwich are still spin from the devastation of Thanos ’ actions . Plus , Marvel has a track record of making footage just for these teasers ( rememberInfinity War ’s epic charge - that - never - was ? ) , so even if we did think we learned something , we wo n’t really live until we ’re take our seats to watch the movie .
But at least we now have the Avengers ’ mission instruction : Thanos may have won the battle , but he wo n’t deliver the goods the war , not while Earth ’s Mightiest are still standing . We ’ll see how that all plays out for them when Avengers : Endgame hit theatre of operations April 26 , 2019 .
