The new Avengers: Endgame TV spot may only last 30 seconds, but it still offers a fare few images for fans to obsessively pore over on a frame by frame level, including a final shot that shows a new line-up for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Though the lighting makes the team a little hard to make out as they walk against a symbolic sunrise, MCU News & Tweets has helpfully labeled each of the members after closer analysis. At the front of the line is Captain America, who’ll be grabbing his old shield and assuming leadership duties once more for what could well be his final film.
After that is Steve’s old friend Thor, who’ll presumably be looking to make up for his famous blunder from Avengers: Infinity War, followed by the God of Thunder’s relatively new friend Rocket, who’s evidently found another superhero team to join after the sad fates suffered by the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Next in line, we have Scott Lang, who’s apparently found some way out of the Quantum Realm, followed by James Rhodes and Bruce Banner.
Of course, there are also some notable absentees from this image, including Iron Man, who could still be stuck drifting through space, and Hawkeye, who may prefer to go his own way in his new Ronin persona. That being said, the conspicuously large gap in the line between Ant-Man and War Machine has already prompted a little speculation that an additional member to the team might have been edited out for the preview, whether it’s one of the aforementioned no-shows, or a new member like Captain Marvel. Regardless, we’ll find out how the fresh line-up fares when Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26th, 2019.
