The first trailer for Avengers 4 – or as we now know to call it, Avengers: Endgame – has become the stuff of legends in these last couple of months as fans had their hopes repeatedly built up and dashed in a continuous stream of rumor and speculation. The footage had a lot of hype to live up to, but at the same time, the teaser could’ve been nothing more than a wordless clip of the surviving heroes eating shawarma together and viewers would’ve likely been relieved to finally to see this promotion drop.
As it turns out, the trailer has plenty of goods to offer while remaining more or less spoiler-free, and now that the long-awaited moment has finally arrived, the fans on Twitter can hardly cope:

To address that last tweet, Angela Bassett seemingly confirmed earlier this year that her onscreen daughter Shuri survived the Avengers: Infinity War snap, and with her brother T’Challa now out of the picture, there’s been some speculation that she’ll assume his place as leader of Wakanda.
Of course, that’s just one line of discussion that the new trailer offered no solid news for, but you can bet the teaser has done its job in fueling further fan theories and getting us talking about the Infinity War sequel more than ever. We still have quite a few months of wondering ahead of us, though as per this morning’s announcement, the release of Avengers: Endgame has at least been moved to the slightly earlier date of April 26th, 2019.
In the meantime, this week isn’t over yet for MCU unveilings, with the first teaser for Spider-Man: Far From Home expected to drop this Saturday.
