The deluge of Avengers: Infinity War content shows no sign of letting up anytime soon, and sure enough, after a weekend filled with curious promo art and plausible speculation – word is Iron Man may be the sixth Infinity Stone, after all – CBM has uncovered the latest Marvel-themed media dump: 20 character posters dedicated to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and their galactic allies, the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Embedded below, this particular showcase also helps separate friend from foe, as you’ll see the likes of Thor, Star-Lord and Scarlet Witch rubbing shoulders with Thanos, Marvel’s unruly Mad Titan who leads a small army to Earth on the belief that he must save the universe from itself – whatever the hell that means.
But after so long spent on the MCU sidelines – Josh Brolin’s power-mongering baddie was first teased six whole years ago, when moviegoers were flocking to see The Avengers – fans can at least take solace in the fact that Thanos is about to vacate that levitating throne and take matters into his own giant, purple hands. Something that can only portend all sorts of danger for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and their newfound allies.
Fittingly, this gallery also draws attention to Black Panther, the fearless protector of Wakanda. Coming hot off its third weekend in North America, the Ryan Coogler-directed standalone pic is aid to be within arm’s reach of $1 billion worldwide, and will likely join the upper echelons of Marvel’s MCU fare – at the time of writing, only The Avengers ($623 million) has grossed more than Black Panther ($501 million) at the domestic box office – before its theatrical run comes to a close.
All in all, T’Challa’s solo flick is arguably the perfect primer for Avengers: Infinity War, which is due to hit theaters worldwide on April 27th.
