Avengers: Endgame represents a cinematic saga 11 years in the making.
It is, in a nutshell, the star-studded finale to Marvel’s Phase 3, and a blockbuster the likes of which we’ve never seen before. We say that because of the incredible foundations upon which Endgame is built, stretching all the way back to 2008’s Iron Man. Oh, how far we’ve come.
But with so much backstory already in place, not to mention the devastating finale of Infinity War, you could say that Avengers: Endgame is so big that it didn’t even need a single trailer – and you’d probably be right. And while Marvel isn’t quite taking a complete blackout approach to the marketing – though they almost did – it’s fair to say that they’re still being pretty stingy when it comes to what they’re showing us.
Just take this new TV spot for example. Seen up above, it’s made up of the same clips and soundbites we’ve already seen several times now, failing to bring much in the way of fresh content to the table. There is, however, a brief new piece of dialogue courtesy of Steve Rogers, while that shot of Bruce looking awfully worried from the last trailer plays out for a second or two longer.
That aside, there isn’t really anything else in here that we haven’t seen before, but with only about a month to go now until release, do you really want anymore spoiled? Marvel clearly has a ton of surprises in store for us and given that we’ve never seen them be this secretive with the marketing of one of their films, we can only imagine what’s being kept under lock and key.
We’ll find out soon enough, of course, and in the meantime, we can probably expect at least another couple of TV spots. For the most part, though, the studio will be saving their biggest reveals for when Avengers: Endgame arrives in theaters on April 26th.
