Marvel’s new Avengers: Endgame trailer brings the past and future MCU together

Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame - Official Trailer

Marvel Studios probably doesn’t need to do much to keep anticipation high for Avengers: Endgame, the follow-up to last year’s climactic crossover event Avengers: Infinity War, but that hasn’t stopped the studio from releasing a new trailer for the film.

Previous trailers have offered a glimpse of the universe in the aftermath of Infinity War, with half the population turned to dust and the other half struggling to come to terms with Thanos’ actions. This time around, however, the preview of Endgame takes a somber look at what brought many of Marvel’s heroes to this point — and how suddenly their allies, friends, and love interests were ripped from them.

While this Avengers: Endgame trailer devotes quite a bit of time to rehashing the past, it also features some fresh footage from the upcoming film — including an early encounter between Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth). The aforementioned encounter can be seen at the end of the trailer after the film’s logo is shown, in what feels like another nod to Marvel Studios’ tradition of saving some memorable moments for everyone who sticks around after the credits.

Directed by Infinity War filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Endgame is also confirmed to bring back Marvel franchise actors Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olson, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Sebastian Stan, Don Cheadle, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Pom Klementieff, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Sean Gunn, Tom Holland, Paul Rudd, Jon Favreau, Karen Gillan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Evangeline Lilly, and Josh Brolin. Samuel L. Jackson is also expected to return as Nick Fury, who managed to send an emergency call to Captain Marvel before disappearing himself.

Avengers: Infinity War finished 2018 as the highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide, with more than $2 billion in ticket sales, and the second highest-grossing movie of the year in U.S. theaters (after Black Panther) with $678.8 million domestically. Early projections have Endgame beating both of those marks, and vying to become one of the highest-grossing movies of all time both in U.S. theaters and worldwide.

Avengers: Endgame is scheduled to hit theaters April 26.

Captain America: Brave New World: How many post-credits scenes are there?
Anthony Mackie poses dramatically as Captain America in a still from the movie "Captain America: Brave New World."

It usually goes without saying that a Marvel movie will feature an extra scene or two as the credits roll. Many fans expect a lot from Captain America: Brave New World, since the film is expected to set up the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As Sam Wilson and his allies fight to stop a conspiracy that threatens to launch World War III, the movie introduces the element Adamantium, an essential part of Wolverine's origin story in Marvel Comics. On top of that, the film has revisited both the Celestial Tiamut, making it the source of the Adamantium, and the Avengers getting back together with Sam as their new leader.
All these building blocks have laid the foundation for things like the next two Avengers movies and even the X-Men's debut in the MCU. With the next two Avengers movies just around the corner, Brave New World has built up Sam to lead Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the fight to maintain peace as the new Captain America. All in all, there is a lot to look forward to after the events of Brave New World, and what the film reveals during the credits hints at a dark future for Sam and the Avengers.

The Marvel movies lost something when they lost Steve Rogers

“You’re not Steve Rogers,” growls Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross with signature Harrison Ford crankiness in Captain America: Brave New World, the new Marvel movie coming to theaters next week. It’s a point the man he’s addressing, the man in the stars and stripes, confidently concedes. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) spent some of his Disney+ vehicle The Falcon and the Winter Soldier doubting his fitness to carry the shield Rogers, the original Captain America, passed down to him. In Brave New World, Sam has fully assumed the mantle of his mentor, and judging from scenes of Mackie swooping through the air on mechanical wings, he’s going to do the whole national superhero thing his own way. He’s not trying to be Steve.
