Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Recap

by Christina

We're not going to do any in depth predictions until we start getting some more trailers and commercials closer to the movie coming out on May 4th 2018. But check out some of the things that we picked up on as we watched the trailer:

• The trailer's beginning, with all the different Avengers reciting Nick Fury's quote from the initial Avengers movie, hit me like the end of Star Trek: Beyond when all the members of the Enterprise crew share the "Where no man has gone before" speech
• With so many characters to get through, we would have to assume there are some sudden introductions between all the different superheroes. This seems especially true with Bruce Banner appearing to crash through the roof and stairwell to meeting Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Wong (Benedict Wong) in the Sanctum Sanctorum. We also soon see Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) join them.
• Vision (Paul Bettany) is looking extremely human as he shares a tender moment with Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen).
• Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is sharing a tender moment with himself looking out into space.
• Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is rocking the blonde bob as she shares a tender moment with Bruce in what looks like the forests of Wakanda. Lots of tender moments in this trailer.
• Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) finally experiences his Spidey Sense! Granted it's for the giant alien ring in the sky he can see right outside his bus window...
• Thanos' (Josh Brolin) CGI has completely been updated since the first time we saw him, but it works for me. And he gets his first villainous monologue.
• Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is making his way through A LOT of bodies to hand over the Tesseract. We'll have to wait and see if he's being noble or if he's just out to save himself. With the way he's been portrayed thus far in Marvel, it could really be either.
• The Iron Spider Suit we saw at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming sees its debut in action.
• Thor is getting in his bicep work out and, whatever it is, seems very important.
• T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) says "get this man a shield" as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) out of the shadows looking fabulous with his beard and shaggy hair. YES. Favorite moment of the trailer right here.
• Lots of quick cuts between action sequences here. Including Spider-Man getting crushed into the ground by Thanos. DO NOT LIKE.
• Vision is now being crushed into the ground with something trying to rip the Mind Stone out of his head. Also DO NOT LIKE.
• Thanos is living high as he adds the Space Stone to his Infinity Gauntlet. It also looks like he already has the Power Stone too. So he's probably already faced down the Nova Corps and/or the Guardians of the Galaxy at this point.
• BUCKY BARNES (Sebastian Stan). My babeh is no longer on ice and he's ready to fight.
• Falcon (Anthony Mackie) is back too, intensely firing on some sort of alien army. Looks like Team Cap is back together.
• Speaking of teams, we get an action shot of a group of our heroes running towards the camera intensely in slow motion. As one does in a superhero movie. I can see Bucky, Black Widow, Cap, Okoye, Black Panther, War Machine, Hulk, and Falcon here.
• Then we get the movie logo and the blaring Avengers theme.
• We finish the trailer with Thor asking "who the hell are you guys?" as we pan over to see the Guardians of the Galaxy. The whole family is finally together guys!

This trailer gave us a good look without really revealing what the plot was going to be about. I know I'm more excited than ever to see the movie. What about all of you? What was your favorite part of the trailer?
