“The entire time I knew him, he only ever had one goal: to wipe out half the universe.”
After weeks – nay, months – of pent-up demand and gleeful anticipation, Marvel Studios brought the Internet to a standstill earlier this morning with the reveal of Avengers: Infinity War‘s new and likely final trailer.
Either way, it’s our first full-length preview of Joe and Anthony Russo’s Herculean crossover, which assembles the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe in time for the arrival of Thanos, whose plan for total galactic rule involves rounding up all six Infinity Stones – including the elusive Soul Stone – by which point he’ll be able to wipe out half the universe simply by clicking his fingers. Suffice it to say, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are up against it.
Nevertheless, on the heel’s of this morning’s mind-blowing trailer, Marvel Studios has now lifted the lid on the official Infinity War poster, which features a cast list for the ages.
Embedded below, the Marvel one-sheet places Thanos front and center – fitting, really – as he’s about to come face-to-face with an entire army of costumed crusaders. Word is Avengers: Infinity War features close to 76 characters, and though that may be true, today’s poster places the emphasis on the core heroes that make up Joe and Anthony Russo’s historic ensemble cast.
Meanwhile, with tickets now on sale, Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis has offered his own preview of Marvel’s epic crossover:
Avengers: Infinity War represents the culmination of a story that first began with 2008’s Iron Man. Moviegoers have been waiting ten years to see all of their favorite Marvel Studios characters together in one movie, and the promise of epic battles, dazzling effects and revealing moments makes it the most anticipated movie of the year.
Avengers: Infinity War opens worldwide on April 27th. Tickets are now on sale via Fandango, meaning you can reserve your seat for the must-see event movie of 2018 and bag a free poster while you’re at it.
