Yesterday Marvel, without warning, released the second trailer for Avengers: Endgame (Joe & Anthony Russo). After the first trailer and the Superbowl teaser gave absolutely nothing away, fans are hoping that this trailer will give them something that will tell them how the Avengers are going to undo the events of Infinity War (2018, Joe & Anthony Russo).
First Thoughts
Damn, this trailer hits you in the feels, whilst also upping the hype! It looks back on where the heroes have been and where they are now. Whilst also setting up a huge confrontation. And it does all of this without giving anything away! There is no clear message or indicator for the plan to take on Thanos (Josh Brolin) but has a lot to offer fans for what they can expect from the characters that they have been following for 11 years.
For anyone who has yet to see the trailer. Here it is:
1. A Reflection on 11 years
The trailer starts with a lovely look back at the past MCU movies all the way back to Iron Man (2008 Jon Favreau) with a black-and-white filter except for red which is meant to stand out. I'm not entirely sure why they made the colour red stand out in the flashbacks, perhaps because the Marvel Logo is red? But it looked very pretty so I'm okay with it. Overall, it's a very good reflection on the road that these heroes have taken and which the audience has watched them take, and all building up to this one moment. You can expect a lot of emotion in this movie!
2. Kate Bishop
I was not expecting this to be trending on Twitter but to my surprise it did! The trailer gives us our first look at what could be Kate Bishop, who is possibly reimagined as Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) daughter. For those who don't know, in the comics, Kate Bishop is an archery-based hero who has taken the mantle of Hawkeye in the past and is a member of the Young Avengers (Basically Marvel's Teen Titans) which many fans suspect will be in development in future MCU movies. This also works as a set-up for Clint, who is now appearing as Ronin rather than Hawkeye. Possibly due to his family being killed by Thanos's snap. So this both works as an example of what Clint Barton has lost to drive him to become Ronin and as a possible set-up for future movies (If this girl turns out to be Kate Bishop).
3. Captain America
There has been a lot of speculation around Captain America (Chris Evans) with many fans suspecting that he will die in this movie. Much like how the character did in the comics in the aftermath of Marvel Civil War. And this scene here really sells the idea that he'll sacrifice himself in the end. Strapping his Shield down and looking worn and fatigued but with one last trick up his sleeve! This looks like it will be an incredibly emotional moment for Captain America fans!
4. White Uniforms
We finally get to see the white uniforms that the Avengers will wear in this movie. Whilst it's a very cool moment in the trailer to see them all suited up and truly looking like a team. I'm not a really a huge fan of these uniforms. They just look a bit tacky to me. But it was still great to see everyone together for one last mission to save the Universe! If this doesn't get you pumped then nothing will!
5. Thor and Captain Marvel
This scene either makes or breaks the trailer for you. Depending on what you thought of Captain Marvel (2019, Ryan Fleck, Anna Boden). Thor (Chris Hemsworth) steps up to Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and summons his axe to his hand to test her. She doesn't flinch. The two stare at one another and Marvel gives him a slight smile. Ending with Thor saying that he likes her. I kinda like this moment. I wish Brie Larson didn't look so confrontational but the smile helped. Makes it look more like a bro-moment between the two. Making them seem like equal colleagues respecting each other.
Conclusion
This is a very exciting trailer! Interestingly not giving anything away! It reflects on the past and gets us very excited for the future. Showing how this movie is an event that has been 11 years in the making!
