It was agony for fans last year, wishing, asking and wondering where the hell the new trailer for “Avengers: Endgame” would arrive. The speculation and rumors had been chum in the water for a feeding frenzy of killer white sharks, and then the trailer finally arrived last in the year and announced its previously unknown title. It whet appetites, but of course, raised dozens of questions given it only showed very limited footage reportedly only from the first 15 minutes of the movie or less.
We know some things to expect Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), absent in the first film, finally appears and it looks like he’ll have a much darker role. Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), was trapped in the Quantum Realm at the end of “Ant-Man And The Wasp,” and he obviously suddenly appeared at the end of the first ‘Endgame’ trailer so there’s some additional explaining to do.

There’s also Captain Marvel (Brie Larson). She’s getting her own movie in March and obviously, Nick Fury made a big Hail Mary call to her at the end of ‘Infinity War.’ Captain America (Chris Evans) didn’t have a huge part in the last movie, but he still has to make amends with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), and atone for the Winter Soldier lie he kept from him, so one should expect that arc to be a major emotional narrative in the film.

We also know “13 Reasons Why” star Katherine Langford was cast in the film very late during the process—or at least the media found out about it late—and who knows who she plays, there’s lots of speculation and guesswork (Scott Lang’s daughter, an ‘Eternals’ which teases that upcoming movie), but for all we know she’s playing a civilian. Time will tell. Lastly, the movie is rumored to be set five years after ‘Infinity War,’ which has all kinds of story implications, but that speculation might have been killed by the first trailer, it’s still unclear.

Regardless, “Avengers: Endgame” is set for release on April 26, 2019. Also, what happens to all the “dead” Avengers? Presumably, you won’t see one of them in any of the trailers before the film’s release, but then again, Marvel loves their teases and surprises. Watch the new Super Bowl trailer spot below and enjoy the bits of new footage that it carefully reveals.
