It’s difficult to believe that in just over a month’s time we’ll be settling our butts into a comfy multiplex seat to enjoy Avengers: Endgame. The movie’s the finale of more than ten years of MCU plotlines and promises to shake up the universe in a way never before seen.
Judging from the new trailer released today, the Russo Brothers are eager not to put too many spoilers out there about what’s to come. After all, large portions of this preview are old footage and what new stuff we see is so out of context that it’s difficult to work out the plot. But there is one shot that at least clears up whether Nebula and Tony Stark die alone in the cold vacuum of space.
I doubt many will be surprised to learn that one way or another they successfully make it back to Earth (my bet is with the help of Captain Marvel), and we get to see them in one of the most interesting new shots in the trailer, showing off pretty much all the surviving Avengers in what looks like personalized takes on the Quantum Realm suits seen in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Quite what they’ll be doing in there remains a mystery (though it is notable that Scott Lang appears to have survived Thanos’ Snap by being in the zone), but the obvious gravity of the scene indicates it’s set to play a big role in their plan to reverse the Snap.
Also interesting is that Tony Stark appears to be entering the Quantum Realm without Iron Man armor. Were he heading into a combat situation, you’d expect him to have a custom suit ready to go, but the fact that he’s wearing the same Avengers-branded suit as everyone else indicates that whatever awaits them won’t require gadgetry or offensive weaponry.
Whatever the case, we’re going to find out in just over five weeks when Avengers: Endgame arrives. And I, for one, cannot wait for some of these answers to be cleared up.
