AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR SUPERBOWL SPOT BREAKDOWN
Finally, we are back from the Superbowl with the Eagles taking the victory, and now we have what we have all been waiting for, another glorious Avengers Infinity War trailer where we see more characters on screen together, and we see the formation of the Avengers team and the Guardians team, and also some hints to Thor's secret quest and some strange Spiderman stuff. All that an more ahead.
Opening the trailer is a shot off is Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Spiderman (Tom Holland), and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) in what appears to be the Thanos circle ship that we saw in the previous trailer. This time they are on the inside as they somehow managed to infiltrate the ship when it was in New York. Looking at their faces, you can see where the characters are. Iron Man is scared of what he sees, knowing that the threat he has been awaiting is here, and after his dead Avengers vision. Spiderman is amazing, being a kid in space, and Doctor Strange also looks mildly amazed from what is going on.
This next shot is awesome. It is a continuation of the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and Vision (Paul Bettany) in the hotel. However, this is very interesting as we see Scarlet Witch attempt to remove the Mind Stone from Vision's head. She is trying to remove the stone, not because Thanos wants it, but because she wants to lead a normal life with Vision, and the stone is kind of distracting.
We see a good look at the Guardians of the Galaxy, we have Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Mantis (Pom Klementeiff), and Drax (Dave Bautista). I will get into what the other two Guardians are doing in a moment, but these four are most likely going after the Reality Stone. In a leaked clip we saw these four Guardians go find the Collector who was captured by Thanos who asked the Collector where the Reality Stone is. That is the mission of these four, however, they will chase him, and eventually meet Iron Man, Spiderman, and Doctor Strange.
"So this is it. It has all been leading to this." Iron Man says to Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo). This scene is in the Sanctum Santorum. I do not think Iron Man is referring to Thanos coming, but most likely a reference to the Hulk, it has all been leading to his eventual return. Becuase at this point, Iron Man knows that an invasion is coming, but at that moment, he has no idea about what's outside, he is just at the Sanctum to pick up Bruce Banner.
This is one of the coolest shots from the trailer. We have Rocket Racoon (Sean Gunn[puppet]/ Bradley Cooper [voice]), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and teenage Groot (Terry Notary/Vin Diesel [voice]) in a small pod-like ship. In Infinity War, Thor will go with Rocket and teenage Groot to forge a new weapon for Thor. That weapon is an ax, you can see the design of it from leaked toy images, but that is their main mission of the film, get Thor a new weapon after his hammer broke. I love how teenage Groot is playing some games on the playboy, he just does not want to be there.
Blink and you will miss him, the god of mischief, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is back. In the trailer, he has an angry expression on his face. Looking at the background, it seems like Loki is the Asgardian ship from the end of Thor Ragnarok where Thanos has invaded it. Thanos is probably talking to Loki here, threatening him and telling him he's a failure, making him angry as seen by his face. I believe that before this, Loki uses the Space Stone to evacuate Valkyrie, Korg, Heimdall, and the other Asgardians to Earth.This could potentially be where Loki meets his end, Thanos kills him in this ship, after he uses saves everyone.
This is arguably the coolest shot in the trailer, Spiderman on the circle ship flying into space. I absolutely love Peter's expression when he takes off his mask. However, this is interesting. So from the first trailer, we saw the circle ship above New York. Spiderman was in the new Iron-Spider suit on it. However, it seems like the ship flew into space, as you can see New York down below, but Spiderman is back in the regular cloth suit. It is possible like the new Iron Man suit, that the Spiderman suit can change between different suits. It is very confusing with the different suit changes.
I was going to do a post about Captain America's new shield from the leaks, but now it is officially revealed so I do not have to. The new shield is given to Captain America most likely courtesy of Shuri who made it. With the costume T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) is wearing, it appears that someone followed his command from the previous trailer and gave that man a shield. The Shields are retractable which will make it easier for the Captain to walk around and pull out a shield.
It was quick but awesome. We see the prime feature of the new Iron Man Mark 48 suit, the one suit is all the suit factor. In this clip when Tony removes the glasses, we see the suit is forming around him. The suit comes out of the arc reactor that he was wearing and other parts of his jacket form the suit. It comes out Black Panther style. But this suit looks great and it can shift into any other Iron Man suit.
A small shot of teenage Groot. I believe that this is when he is on the quest with Thor and Rocket. With the technology in the background, it all looks like equipment to forge a new weapon for Thor to use. Teenage Groot is possibly waiting to do something, or he could be nervous about Thanos. Another alternative to this scene is that teenage Groot is in trouble.
One of Thanos' daughters, Nebula (Karen Gillian), is seeking revenge against the mad Titan and this shot explains her whole journey in the film. Nebula is tracking down Thanos and it seems like she followed him to this red, desolate planet. This planet maybe that same planet that Iron Man, Spiderman, and the Guardians fight Thanos on. In this clip, we see that Nebula has got herself an electric type weapon, who knows how that would work against Thanos.
Black Widow is riding in a shuttle with some of the Dora Milaje members and other Wakandan soldiers. They are all most likely moving just outside the main city of Wakanda to fight the invasion from Thanos' forces. She is most likely giving either Captain America or Bruce Banner that 'are you ready' look. In Infinity War it seems like Natasha Romanoff is getting similar light sticks that she got in Age of Ultron. They have possibly upgraded the sticks with Vibranium thanks to Wakanda.
Deep in the jungle of Wakanda, we find Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) creeping out with a gun. This is preparation for the Thanos invasion. Bucky is most likely trying to create a sneak attack on the alien invaders, or he was woken up late by Shuri or T'Challa and is joining the fight a little late. But we get a good look at the new arm. It is obviously made out of pure vibranium, and there is no red star on the side, which un-brands Bucky as the Winter Soldier.
Doctor Stange and slightly on screen, Wong (Benedict Wong) are creating their magic shields, and Iron Man flies right past them. This is happening at the beginning of the film when the big circle ship invades New York City. There are most likely some aliens coming off the ship which is why Iron Man flies into action. But here it seems like Iron Man and Doctor Strange will go meet Spiderman on the ship as seen by the first shot of the trailer. Wong will take Bruce Banner to Wakanda while the other three heroes meet the Guardians on the red planet and fight Thanos.
Group shot; back in Wakanda, we see the same group shot with Bucky Barnes, War Machine (Don Cheadle), Black Widow, Captain America, the Hulk, Okoye (Danai Gurira), Black Panther, and Falcon (Anthony Mackie). In this shot, the new difference is that Captain America has the two Wakanda shields. Looking at this shot once again it seems like Hawkeye is missing and would appear here. In this Wakanda invasion, all Earthbound heroes are fighting here. Jeremy Renner most likely filmed his scenes here, however with his rumored Ronin gear, it seems like they want to keep his new look a secret, so he is not in the trailer. If Ant-Man is in the film, he will most likely appear here, that is even if he is in this film.
The last shot of the trailer is Thanos (Josh Brolin) smiling. This shot gives a closer more detailed look at Thanos' face as we see he has some scars running down his face, those are most likely not Black Panther claw marks. But in terms of the film's story, Thanos possibly talking to Thor or Loki on the ship while invading. With the dark background with orange specs, it looks like Thanos started a fire on the ship, and the smirk on his face is him knowing that he is going to kick Thor's and Loki's asses. That is my best guess.
In conclusion, this trailer from Infinity War was only 30 seconds, but there was so much in the trailer from all the story details that were pulled out. One of my favorite shots from the trailer was Spiderman leaving Earth. That looks so breathtaking, even though most of it is CG. The color and the story told in the shot is amazing. I am super excited for Infinity War like I have always been, and this trailer is definitely the trailer that will get people who saw this on tv in theaters.But this summer, an entire universe, once and for all, this is a film for the ages.
