In case you missed it, the first trailer to Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War has arrived and it looks spectacular. The trailer to the upcoming Marvel blockbuster has set a new record for the most trailer views in a single day, racking up more than 200 million views in 24 hours. If you ask me, that’s absolutely incredible.
Directed by the Russo Brothers, the film will host the biggest ensemble of superheroes to ever been cast in film history. The buildup to Infinity War has been over a decade in the making, with the first Iron Man film setting the stage for things to come. From the looks of things in the Infinity War trailer, I have a feeling that all the fun and cheerfulness that was present in Thor: Ragnarok, will be nonexistent in this film. Things appear to be grim and futile for our heroes as Thanos shows up in style with a grin on his face and some prophetically, ill-boding words: “In time, you will know what it’s like to lose.”
Before I point out some clues and observations that you might have missed in the trailer, hit that play button one more time and remind yourself why we go to the movies.
Now that’s how you do a trailer. Not too much given away. Not too much revealed, but gives you just enough awesomeness to slightly raise your blood pressure. Without further due, here are 13 things that you might have overlooked in the trailer, that deserves greater attention.
1. Hulk/ Bruce Banner is now back on Earth…
….and it looks like he crashes through the Sanctum Sanctorum, the house of Doctor Strange.
2. Vision has achieved a more human look…
… and him and the Scarlet Witch may be in a deep romance.
3. Spider-Man shows up in a new Stark-tech suit…
… and it looks cool as hell.
4. Spider-Man/ Peter Parker shows off his “spider-sense” ability…
… and he never got to display it in Spider-Man: Homecoming. This will be the first time Parker will show of his ability since joining the Marvel cinematic universe.
5. Tony Stark has an arc reactor back in his chest again…
… wait, hold up. Didn’t we see Tony get the reactor and shrapnel removed from around his heart back in Iron Man 3? So what’s the reason behind Tony having it re-installed, in which you can see hidden a bit by his jacket?
6. We know that Vision’s body is powered by the Mind Stone, and he could quite possibly face an untimely demise…
… so who’s the unknown assailant attempting to pry the Mind Stone from his head with that spiffy-looking staff? Whatever the case may be, the android ceases to exist without the stone. My money says he’ll bite the dust.
7. That charge into battle towards the end of the trailer, cue glorious blare of the Avengers theme…
… squad goals, nuff said!
8. Will Steve Rogers/ Captain America continue to be a fugitive of the law? Would it even matter, while the threat of Thanos looms over the heroes?
In all honesty, I can see Cap literally going out on his shield and taking one of for the team, while proving once again, how much he’s a true American hero. Fear the beard true-believers.
9. Here’s Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, sporting a new platinum blonde hairdo…
… totally inspired by Kelly Ripa and Ric Flair. Okay, that’s not true, but I’m still not quite used to new look. Among a growing number of super-powered heroes, Gods and cosmic beings, how will Natasha continue to thrive as an Avenger?
10. Aw hellllllll yeah! It’s T’Challa/ Black Panther and the Wakandan army, all set to face off against Thanos’s shock troops…
… they ain’t afraid of no extraterrestrial. Or are they?
11. A battle-weary Thor (including an eyepatch he earned the hard way during the final battle of Thor: Ragnarok, in which he awakens on a ship, and finds himself among a peculiar group of allies…
… it also might be unwise to be in the God of Thunder’s company.
12. What up, GOTG…
… that’s Guardians of the Galaxy my friends. Star-Lord said it best, “this might be dangerous, so let’s put on our mean faces.”
13. Who the heck is this guy, along with that bald head, that purple skin and that ominous-looking chin…
… that’s none other than Thanos! The alien dictator’s diabolical plan is that he wants to control or kill the entire universe in to simply when the love of an anthropomorphic manifestation of the concept of death. After seeing Thanos make a tiny number of appearances in the MCU, he to finally emerges front and center in an effort to gather all of the Infinity Stones, then insert them in a giant metal glove called the Infinity Gauntlet, which will allow the wearer to possess big, vague powers.
Senses-shattering, mind blowing, epic-proportions… there was a lot of fantastic stuff going on in the trailer! I can’t wait to see more of what’s to come. Hurry up, May… and I’m not referring to Peter Parker’s aunt.
There’s been plenty of speculation on who lives or dies in Infinity War. What do you see happening in the film? What did you think of the trailer? I hope to read some of your thoughts and comments.

I don’t understand that why Dr. Banner has not converted into Hulk!

I guess we won’t know until next year in Avengers 4. I was reading that there’s going to be a trilogy of Hulk movies.
