With five weeks to go until the release of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios has dropped a whole load of TV spots in the last couple of days that tease the coming fight.
Much like the rest of these previews, this latest video doesn’t offer much in the way of new footage, but it at least distinguishes itself from the other TV spots by having comparatively less focus on Captain America. Sure, Steve Rogers is still in there, and gets to be the first of several heroes to deliver the “Whatever it takes” tagline. But this time, the lion’s share of dialogue goes to Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, who once more reminds us that even if there’s only a small chance that the Snap can be reversed, they owe it to “everyone who’s not in this room” to try.
Like the trailer that dropped last week, the latest TV spot concludes with a quick exchange between Thor and Captain Marvel. This near-wordless clip was often singled out as a highlight from the recent preview, which had the internet shipping Carol Danvers and the God of Thunder. Sadly, there may not be time for something to happen between the pair, especially when Thor looks like he might be on the verge of leaving the saga.
In fact, out of the original six Avengers, Black Widow is the only one with a definite future in the franchise. And seeing how Natasha Romanoff’s solo movie is heavily rumored to be a prequel, even she isn’t guaranteed to survive this next film. “Whatever it takes” indeed. Regardless, we’ll see who’s still around for the MCU’s next phase when Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26th.
