AVENGERS INFINITY WAR – Extended Trailer

We’re just a few weeks away from the release of Avengers Infinity War. Its release date was recently bumped up a week to April 27th. Marvel has released new trailer to stir up some more excitement for the upcoming superhero showdown.

Infinity War promises to be one of the biggest films Marvel has ever made. Combining almost every single superhero from across the 18-film franchise that began 10 years ago with the release of Iron Man in 2008. As the star-studded trailer shows. Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther, Chris Evans’ Captain America, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man, the rest of the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and pretty much every other ancillary character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe are back.

There is SO MUCH to unpack in the first official trailer. This footage is different from the clips shown at D23 and San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year, and as a result of having now seen Spider-Man. Homecoming and Thor. Ragnarok, there are details that Marvel is able to share so that amateur MCU sleuths like us can start to deduce how Infinity War (and maybe even Avengers 4) can and will play out.

We have gone over every frame of the Avengers Infinity War trailer. If you need to see it one more time, give it a go.

Now, based on everything that we watched, here are the plot points that have been speculated on which are finally being confirmed by this initial footage.

When last we saw Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo). He was riding safely along with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) in the end credits of Thor: Ragnarok. Having saved the existing Asgardians from Hela (Cate Blanchett). But before the movie could wrap, the heroes were confronted by Thanos’ massive ship. This new trailer — in scenes we’ll discuss — confirms that a fight will take place. Hulk will get knocked from space all the way back down to Earth. In fact, we see him in human form having blasted a hole in the roof of the Sanctum Sanctorum, home of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch).

The courtship of Vision (Paul Bettany) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) continues. Even though we see the synthetic android in his full colors later on in the trailer, this was a shocking reveal. Vision apparently can change his appearance now. Or, maybe Witch is doing something to mess with the appearance, to make him look more like Paul Bettany. I’m guessing Bettany wrote in that Jennifer Lawrence contract that says “Less time in the makeup chair, dudes.” Either way this needs to be explained.

Audiences are still very familiar with the African nation of Wakanda. But seeing the number of Avengers who make their way there sends a chill. Banner may start in New York City, but he’ll get to Africa, alongside Stark (or a Hulkbuster armor at the very least, pictured above), and a slew of other Avengers such as Cap, Black Widow and the Falcon.
