China's Avengers: Endgame Poster Offers A Chilling Look At The Fallen
in case you thought Marvel's "
Avenge the Fallen" posters were somber, wait up until you visualize China's
Avengers: Endgame movie poster.
As
Entertainment Weekly pointed out, the new poster was presented on
Twitter by Disney's President of Marketing Asad Ayaz on Thursday (March 28). Check it out below.
Overall, the vibe is brought way down by the muted colors. Whereas
the poster we've seen pops with bright shades of purple and red on a black background, in China, the world just looks more grim.
Similar to the version we've seen in the U.S., The main focus is the assemblage of superheroes who survived the deadly snap at the end of
Infinity War. Things on that front are mostly the same, save some changes in the specifics — Chris Evans's Captain America advantages from more dramatic lighting on his chiseled face and the Bradley Cooper-voiced Rocket Raccoon looks more menacing while holding a gun, as an example. Most notably, Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie and Benedict Wong's Wong join the crew.
Likewise, Thanos looms over the living — but in China's poster, he's more godlike, stoically centered above Robert Downey Jr.'S Iron Man and facing forward, as instead of turning his distant gaze to the side, as he does in the image we previously acquainted ourselves with.
Most chillingly, but, is the group kind of darkened underworld China's
Endgame poster offers, introducing all the fallen heroes beneath the living. Unlike their peers above them, none are in fighting form, their lifelessness only exaggerated by their silhouetted figures.
It is truly haunting, because the memory of their characters is sure to do during the upcoming film.
Avengers: Endgame hits theaters April 26.
