It’s here. After teasing it yesterday, the final trailer for AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR has arrived. The film hits Australian cinemas on 25 April 2018, and the US on 27 April, but we can see a tonne of new footage right now in this magnificent trailer.
The film has achieved something no other franchise has done: recreated a comic book universe on screen, one that comes with its own continuity and complex developments. Here we see the arrival of a threat in Thanos (Josh Brolin), and the very different heroes of Earth and its surrounding galaxy bond together.
What’s interesting about this trailer is the way they have structured Gamora’s (Zoe Saldana) narrative directly around bringing the team together. As she seemingly tells Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) about the pending arrival of Thanos, it plays directly into Tony’s arc that has been building since Avengers and played a large part of his persona in Iron Man 3 and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
The interactions between Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and Tony are perhaps something we have been waiting 10 years to see on screen. The ones between Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch): we are not worthy.
