Tony And Nebula At Work
The first Endgame trailer opened up with the tragic shot of Tony Stark marooned in space, filming a goodbye message to Pepper on his Iron Man helmet. That preview left us with no confirmation that he was going to make it back to Earth, but one brief shot in this TV spot lifts our spirits that Stark’s not going to be lost in space forever.
Following Cap’s “not us” line, the TV spot shows the surviving heroes getting into action. First up, we see Tony and Nebula doing some engineering work, which confirms what we all inferred anyway, that both Iron Man and Thanos’ remaining daughter were traveling together on the Benatar, the Guardians’ ship. So we can now say for certain that Tony is Nebula’s new best pal that Karen Gillan’s been teasing.
Secondly, we can also assume that this is Tony and Nebula springing into action to get themselves out of trouble, likely following Stark’s dark moment where he seemed to have admitted defeat. Many fans have noted that this scene, with Tony using his smarts to save himself from certain death with the help of an ally, strongly recalls his origin story from back in 2008’s Iron Man. This has got to be deliberate and an intentional callback to where the MCU began.
