Marvel Hints At Its 'Endgame' In First Avengers 4 Trailer

Just if you needed a good cry this morning, Marvel Studios (finally) dropped the initial trailer for Avengers 4, right now officially called Avengers: Endgame.


[Pause for dramatic effect.]


The Avengers — or rather, what's left of those — are reeling in the emotional aftermath of "the snap," a.K.A the moment Thanos wiped out half of "all living creatures" during the universe in Avengers: Infinity War. Cap and Natasha are holding things down at Avengers HQ, presumably attempting to identify a way to reverse what Thanos did with the rag-tag team they have left. So you know Steve Rogers means corporation because he shaved his breakup beard.


Meanwhile, Tony Stark is curiously adrift in space without food, water, and soon, oxygen. So he's spending what little time he has left in his soft hours, sending emo messages to Pepper. "Don't feel bad about this," he says. "Part of the journey is the end."


The trailer also gives patient fans a long-awaited glimpse of Hawkeye, who's looking worse for wear these days. Has he gone rogue after the traumatic disappearance of his family member? If there's anyone who can break him out of his broody vigilante tendencies, it's Black Widow.


It also looks like Scott Lang noticed his way out of the Quantum Realm just fine, because the promo teases Ant-Man's return to the Avengers fold. Imagine Captain America being so desperate that suddenly Scott Lang becomes humanity's fantastic hope? Avengers: Endgame is going to be a wild time.


Avengers: Endgame arrives in theaters April 26, 2019.
