With three weeks to go until the release of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel has started the countdown with a new promo, which shows Earth’s Mightiest Heroes preparing for the fight of their lives.
While the short video has nothing to offer in the way of fresh footage, it does give us another excuse to see Black Widow and Hawkeye together again, and watch Nebula and Ant-Man charging into battle. We also get a couple of shots of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers sharing the screen after years of separation. The last time we saw these two together was at the end of 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, in which they parted ways on bad terms. But going by the handshake featured in the above promo, it looks like their friendship will soon be rekindled.
As with most of the promotional footage released so far, the new video has Captain America on voiceover duties. While Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige recently clarified that the focus of the movie will be on the original six heroes from 2012’s The Avengers, Steve Rogers in particular has dominated the dialogue in the film’s trailers and TV spots, suggesting that he’ll be right at the forefront of the action.
If so, then Cap best enjoy the spotlight while he still has it, since it’s currently assumed that the Avengers: Infinity War sequel will serve as his final outing in the MCU. Whether or not this means a fatal end to Steve’s journey remains to be seen, but when even Chris Evans is cracking jokes about his character’s widely predicted death, fans might well have reason to be worried. Regardless, all will be revealed when Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26th.
