After almost six months of radio silence from Marvel on the future of The Avengers series without even so much as a title to tide one over — an unbearable wait, given the events that occurred at the end of Infinity War — and thousands of fanboys ripping out their hair every two weeks when some internet huckster convinced them that a trailer drop was perpetually imminent, the day finally came on Friday. We have ourselves a trailer, and a title, and somehow, without managing to show anything particularly juicy, Marvel has us absolutely freaking the fuck out. But enough about all that: you’re here for one reason and one reason alone, so it’s with pleasure that we present to you the trailer for Avengers: Endgame.
Take a look:
Well, we are pants-wittingly excited for Avengers: Endgame, y’all. There’s so many cool little teases of what’s to come — Tony’s sad circumstance on his trip home from Titan (why you gotta be such a dick, Nebula) using the Guardians’ now lifeless Benatar, Hawkeye’s striking appearance as “Ronin” in the middle (which we’re totally assuming means something horrible has happened to his family, and, most importantly, that epic shot from the end of the Infinity Gauntlet comic, of Thanos’ armor being used as a scarecrow in the aftermath of the events, is brought to life here but given a brand new context.
Also, given Ant-Man’s appearance at the end, and the circumstances, brought to light in Cap and Black Widow’s dialogue, surrounding it, plus the reveal of the very title of the film, a whole lot of nerds are probably feeling vindicated right now. See, this is what we do instead of having sex or catching a winning touchdown: we were right about things on the internet!
Here’s the official synopsis, taken straight from the Marvel Youtube page:
Part of the journey is the end.
Oh man. We can already hear the Lord of the Rings soundtrack playing, so with that, we’ll take our leave. But we’d also quickly like to point out that, given the release information shown at the end of the preview, Avengers: Endgame will hit theaters in April and not on May 3rd as originally expected. We’re assuming this is to keep the world wide release roughly simultaneous, perhaps to avoid spoilers from getting out, but this also means you get to see the movie just a little bit sooner. Little victories!
See you all here for the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer drop tomorrow.
