We’ve known it’s coming all week, and it JUST DROPPED. The first official trailer for next Spring’s Avengers: Infinity War is finally here. Let’s not waste any more time and just drop it here:
This is amazing. If you watched that without getting chills, you simply are not human.
This is what 10 years of creating a brilliant cinematic universe has been building towards. Everyone is all in. My suspicion is that this movie will primarily be about Thanos coming to Earth to collect the Infinity Stones, and the second installment will be The Avengers saving the planet. Regardless, it feels like somebody big gon’ die.
I know the team will tell me to settle down and enjoy the moment, but I’m always thinking ahead. I have no idea where they can take the MCU after this. This could be its masterpiece. We’ll see. Okay, I’m going to bow out and go watch the trailer again.
This was a hot topic in the SoBros Network Slack group this morning, so we have several of our writers weighing in on it, too:
Herbie Brooks
I mean shit, what can you say about Infinity War? Who would have thought 10 years ago watching Iron Man we’d be getting this? I’ve watched it over and over and keep seeing something new every time. The trailer could be the only advertising they put out for the movie and it will still make a billion dollars.
Jonas Brotherly
There is so much to digest after seeing this trailer that I can hardly contain the nerdgasm I’m having this morning but let’s hop into this shit!
First off, Vision and Scarlet witch finally hook up! (Leading to the possibility of their twin children entering the franchise). It looks like Iron Man has his arc reactor back in preparation for the end of days battle Thanos is bringing. Spider-Man has his spider sense and new suit as he looks to be apart of the ground level battle. Loki highjacked the Tesseract (like we all knew after seeing his eyes light up when he saw it in ragnorok). Vision seemingly gets the soul gem ripped right out his head and Thanos plunks it right into his gauntlet.
The Winter Soldier gets thawed out like some hamburger meat and is packing some heavy ammunition. Captain America dons a scruffier more urban outfitter look while leading an army into battle against what looks like the black orders minions. This trailer brought all kinds of doom into the MCU with Thanos looking to be every bit as menacing as when we first saw him and proving to be well worth the 10 year wait.
“Nature Boy” Brandon Vick
A movie like Infinity War is supposed to feel epic, and my God the trailer alone has accomplished just that. It’s been a decade in the making, but every detail to character and story arch will be absolutely worth it. DC take notes because this is how it’s done.
Also, Josh Brolin is pitch perfect as Thanos. I mean holy shit! We’ve gotten glimpses in the past, but to see him front and center will leave you in a state of awe. His voice alone sends chills. May 4, 2018 will change the Marvel landscape as we know it.
Ralph Wiggum
If I was a movie exec for DC I’d be very ashamed of myself after watching that.
Amen to that, Ralph!
