Battle In Wakanda
Right, let’s examine that epic battle sequence. It looks like that, by this point in the film, most of the Avengers have assembled to take on the intergalactic threat. Let’s tick off who we know’s there…
Tony Stark has got out Veronica again AKA the Hulkbuster armor. Black Widow looks to have bested one of the Black Order. Doctor Strange is whipping out some mystic symbols. Captain America and Black Panther are pummeling some alien nasties. Falcon and Winter Soldier are armed and ready and finally, in one big team up shot, we can see that Hulk and War Machine have also joined the fray, as the Avengers are supported by the Wakandan army.
The big question, though, is: why is Thanos attacking Wakanda? Is the reality stone secretly under T’Challa’s care? This is the pervading theory by fans, as Black Panther is the only MCU movie left to go before Infinity War arrives next May.
“Who The Hell Are You Guys?”
As this is only the very first trailer for the movie, it holds back on giving us one of the things we’re most excited to see in Avengers: Infinity War: the long-awaited team-up of the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy. However, the preview’s final scene does whet our appetite in a big way.
It begins on a close-up of a weary, war-torn Thor (still rocking his eyepatch from Ragnarok‘s finale). “Who the hell are you guys?” he asks… as the camera reveals that he’s on board the Milano and talking to the frikkin’ Guardians of the Galaxy (I don’t really mean frikkin’). The Guardians don’t get any lines, but their silent reaction is fun enough. The look on Star-Lord’s face says it all, as does Mantis’ shy, little wave: “How don’t you know who we are? We saved the galaxy. Twice.”
Going by Thor’s bedraggled appearance, he’s likely just escaped the battle on board the Asgardian refugee ship. But with the Guardians’ help, he’s bound to head straight for Earth to help defeat Thanos.
Avengers: Infinity War arrives in theatres on May 4th, 2018, and after watching this first trailer, we couldn’t be more excited!
