After months of keeping fans in the dark, Marvel Studios is slowly lifting the fog ofAvengers: Infinity Waras the release date rapidly approaches. A brand-new TV spot features nearly a minute of footage and much of it has never been seen, which makes it very special. There’sso much new footagethat it might as well be a new trailer forInfinity War. For those looking to go in blind, there aren’t any spoilers, but there is plenty of new footage, so consider yourself warned.
The new TV spot forInfinity Warbegins like most of them have withPeter Parker’s Spidey Sensetingling with the arrival of Thanos' Q-Ship. However, that’s pretty much where the similarities end with past trailers and television spots. We’ll get this out of the way right now, there is no sign of Hawkeye or Ant-Man in the new spot, unless they’re hiding really, really well, which if the latest IMAX poster forInfinity Waris any indication, Ant-Man might actually be in there somewhere.
The newInfinity Warpromo is entitled Chant as itfeatures a lot of Wakandaand music reminiscent ofBlack Panther. There’s much more of Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa and even a never-before-seen brief flash of Shuri engaged in battle along with M’Baku chanting. Elsewhere, we see Steve Rogers and Bucky finally reunite in Wakanda after Rogers arrives with Black Widow and Falcon. Rogers asks, “How ya been Buck?” to which Bucky replies, “Not bad… for the end of the world.” Even though the threat of Thanos is very real, there’s still some time for some lighthearted humor in the new promo spot.
The newInfinity WarTV spot also provides a brief glance at the Infinity Gauntlet whenThanos lands in Wakanda. The scene comes at the 24-second mark and is only shown in the Twitter version of the promo, not the YouTube version. It appears that Thanos could have four Infinity Stones by the time he gets to Wakanda. We know that he already has the Space Stone and Power Stone, and possibly the Reality Stone from The Collector. However, the 4th stone is a mystery. It could be Vision’s Mind Stone or maybe even the Soul Stone.
There’s evenroom for some pretty good humorfrom the Wakanda side of things in the newInfinity WarTV spot. Okoye is seen telling T’Challa that this isn’t exactly what she expected when Wakanda was going to open itself to the rest of the world. She imagines that the Olympics or even a Starbucks would’ve arrived instead of a battle with the villainous Thanos. There’s plenty more that you can check out for yourself from theInfinity Warpromo. Included below are both the YouTube and Twitter versions, so you can get a better look at what Thanos has. The new footage is provided by the Marvel Entertainment YouTube channel.
